Elliot Carver v

We have owned a Kirby Heritage II which was from the mid to late 1980s and it lasted us for 20+ years and with that life time warranty they offered (don't Know if they still do) we used that a few times to rebuild it. We had to replace the fan at least twice because of my sister who was use it to clean out her car and accidentally sucked up a rock from our driveway. With the Kirby carpet shampoo kit after you done using it and the carpet dries you are supposed to vacuum again to pick up the dry residue.

love that kirby!! very nice vac!

It is recommend the bristles protrude 1/8" below the rug plate. Also you mentioned about tape wrapped around the pulley in your original video. Clean any contaminants off the pulley so you have clean metal :-) Enjoy!

Your videos are pure ASMR!

Another great video. I think your brushes are a little low. I would try setting #1. PS. My favorite part of the unboxing the Kirby was you bent over and head first into the box. YEEHAW Roger.

Wow! This was first time my channel was mentioned in your video. Thanks! By the way I set my Kirby height adjustment so that when the dirt is jumping the most front of it it is the right setting for me.

Roger, you mentioned the green brush roll light flickering at times. The flat belt gets stretched and worn pretty quickly. I usually replace the belt annually. Without a tight belt and good brush roll agitation, performance definitely suffers. For the brush roll wear setting (1, 2, or 3), I believe you want to see about 1/4" (so, maybe 6mm?) of bristles protrude beyond the rug plate. I think you understand how to achieve the proper rug nozzle height already (lower till the noise changes, and then 1 additional click).

I love that mini Dyson I have the same version dc 50 i hardly ever use it tho . I just got a new vacuum the other day it's called a Riccar radiance premium omg compared to my Miele Eco Plus s7 it's so powerful and has a three brush strip brush roll also hard wood floors feel impeccably clean.

Alex Vega yes the riccar is impressive but the Kirby is still a touch better as far as a deeper cleaning if you have carpets. I've used both and the riccar is definitely much easier to use as a "daily vac" but the Kirby still has its place. I sincerely doubt riccar will ever branch out to any other market outside the usa. I don't have either riccar or kirby now as I have solid flooring throughout my current home with area rugs here and there. As far as that rainbow is concerned stick to your guns, while it's a good machine there's no reason to lug the water filled behemoth around and spend more time making sure everything perfectly sanitized and dried afterward. There are so many good options these days (no matter where you live) the water thing just isn't necessary.

Once your done add some car wax on the Kirby and it seems to slow further oxidation

The Kirby is indeed old fashioned looking. It's design is largely the same as it's been since they started making them in the early twentieth century.indusrtial/machine age design. Many products whose manufacturers have stayed with their original designs have found that their products need only running changes but have never needed to completely redesign the product to continue to produce the class leading product on the market. Another example would be the Hobart/KitchenAid stand mixer.I don't know if either make is available in Britain but if it is, it's another product from that period that hasn't been outdone since the 1920s and is built to last for the rest of your life. They're hand made and if dismantled you find that the innards are signed by the person that made them to this day. Best of all they're built every bit as well as a Kirby is in quality and I highly recommend them.
