Opinion...Kirby vacuum needs replaced or not?
We bought a Kirby Generation 3 in 1991 and they say that these vacuums last forever as long as you take care of them, but I am wanting to upgrade it to a newer vacuum and don't know if I should just keep the one I have or replace it?
The vacuum is going to need some repairs soon to it's drive/neutral switch ($80.00+) also I'd like to have a vacuum that isn't so heavy to lift/carry. Then there are the bags...I would like to switch to a bagless vacuum someday but don't know of a good brand that has simular power to the Kirby we have now.
Keep the Kirby. I have a G4 and just updated the Fan Blade to the newer one. It works really great. I got a Eureka from Sam's Club for $200 that was highly recommended when my Kirby fan broke (from sucking too many computer screws!) $45 including labor to fix the fan at the local Kirby shop. also changed the Roller Brush & Belt (Ebay $27). and of course the new Micron HEPA Filter bag ($4). and the now the Kirby works better than the new Eureka (I returned it to Sams, it sucked!). 14 years of Abuse and NO TLC I would say the Kirby rules. Now I just bought a used G3 at the swapmeet for $10 and I am updating it myself to use as a shop vac. (Call around or visit the local Kirby shops. sometimes the technicians are nice guys and are dedicated to keeping customers happy with Kirbys. I found a shop in Kaimuki, Hawaii that was very helpful and even replaced some worn out parts for free. Even though I was not the original owner!)
So heres my shortlist:
1. Update the Fan Blade
2. Change the Roller Brush
3. Buy the new HEPA filter bags
4. Fix your switch
and you will have a Kirby that is almost as good as the new one. If you want a lighter one go to the Kirby Dealer and buy one of their "overstock or refurb" Sentrias it is 2 lbs lighter.
