In this video, I do a simple paper towel roll test. This video is for ClassicTVMan1981X: Ben Edge. The machines I demo are a modified Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80 and Classic 1CR.

With the shakeout bag tutorial, that helped me learn how to empty my Kirby classic's bag, that was you?
@mattjones76213 жыл бұрын
Yes, I filmed a shake-out bag video. Before I got a youtube account, I never knew how to empty it properly.

Just a note: the D80 has a plastic fan, 4 row roller brush and HEPA filtration. The Classic has a shake-out bag, metal fan and 2 row brush.

Matt Jones I wonder how this test might have been if the D80 had the 2-row brush roll and metal fan?
@mattjones76219 жыл бұрын
In my opinion, Ben, I think the D80 would still win. When I put the D80 against the Diamond the other day,however, the Diamond held onto the roll. It all depends on how the nozzles are adjusted. The 2 main things the Diamond had in its favor are the fan case gasket and slightly stronger motor. They have improved over the years and seal better. The older machines can get closer to the floor without scraping it: an advantage over the newer models. The air pressure increases when the nozzles are forced closer to the floor. In conclusion: I guess it depends on the design, airflow and how well it is sealed; you can't necessarily go by the fan type or nozzle size every time.

They have the same airflow, but the DS80 has a higher airflow density

Could you do a video of your Diamond Edition with the Hose and do reg speed and delicate speed with the hose?

Metal Fan Kirby Vacuum Sure Thom. I just recently did a major service on my Diamond and I plan to do a video of it soon. I will also show the attachments, too, because I cleaned them all as well.

I noticed that the classic nozzle sits higher than the DS80'S both on my vacuums and your vacuums
@mattjones76218 жыл бұрын
+Charles Lewis Yep, that was the reason why I lowered the nozzle on the Classic one more notch. The numbers on the height adjustment are the same, but it does seem like it is higher that the D80 and on back.

Actually, on the very first Classic 1CRs built in 1970, they had the exact same fan case and front axle as the Dual Sanitronic 80, so on those examples the nozzle would sit at the same height as the D80 (this also means that, during this phase of production, the front wheels for the 1CR were secured to the axle using the extension screws that many older Kirbys had later on when rebuilt). Kirby changed the front axle for the 1CR shortly after production started, allowing not only for a higher maximum height, but the front wheel studs were also lengthened so that the regular 10-32 x 3/8 screws could be used with the new wide front wheels; the fan case was redesigned later due to Kirby owners complaining of the machine shutting off inadvertently when the nozzle was adjusted lower.

1968 vs 1971
@mattjones76219 жыл бұрын
Terry B Well, sort of. The D80 I have is either 1968 or 1969. I believe my Classic is a 1972 model, specifically.

and the classic doesn't hit the carpet until height 3
