Dear All,

I have a split entry home that has a lower level which is 80% ceramic tile and 20% carpet. The lower level has my sewing room and a guest room. I need a pre-G Kirby series with a bag (it's a little less maintenance than the shake out bag) that will clean the ceramic tile, the usual dusting, ceiling cleaning, carpet cleaning and then I'd like to use the hose with my sewing attachments to clean my sewing machine.

I have a Tradition with the shake out bag, but no attachments. Looking on eBay, some attachments are as much as a vac with attachments.

I was looking at the Heritage II or the Legend II. They look to be almost identical and would satisfy my needs. I like the size of those models, they are affordable, powerful and I don't need a G-series machine due to size and I have a Sentria upstairs.

Any thoughts which machine would be best? Also, if anyone is looking to sale one such machine in really good condition with attachments, let me know.

I just need an all around good pre-G machine with attachments to keep the lower level nice and spiffy.

Let me know what you think. The days of my Kenmore Whispertone are numbered...LOL.

Matt :-)

Hey Matt! It's too bad you're not a canister person. I don't have any Kirbys unfortuneatly, but I do have an almost mint condition Majestic Filter Queen that has spectacular suction. I'll keep my eyes open for a Kirby though. Later, Trg

The Kirby Heritage- Legend II were (I think) the best cleaning Kirby's ever made.
