Vintage Kirby Model 519 New Upgrades (Big Wheels, Disposable Bag System & HEPA Filtration)!!

Something I put a lot of thought into. While I don't mind emptying a shake-out bag, this is more convenient and sanitary. I tried this once before with a Heritage 2 bag system, but I didn't like it because the colors didn't match. Well, I no longer have that problem. Thanks to my friend, Trevor, of RoverTV, I now have a vintage model Kirby with modern upgrades that is color coordinated. It has a Heritage 2 mini emtor, fill tube and top adapter, a tan shake-out bag with a full length zipper (thanks to Trevor's seamstress), Classic 1-CR bag guard and 4 wide wheels. A HEPA bag is installed for best filtration. As you will see in the video, it still has a ton of airflow. The new wheels make it easy to push and it feels more balanced.

Yea Man i love it! You got both your Kirby's looking soooo sharp! I truly dont know of they can get any better, seriously i love those wheels it looks very proper. It all matches perfectly, and looks masculine. It would be the perfect candidate to make an updated brave little toaster movie. I agree the bag you have is far superior to the h2 bag looks wise. Great job!

Thanks, again, for all of your help, man! Couldn't have done it without you. Very pleased with both machines. It's like having two new machines.

Found an old Kirby at the thrift store today. I think my modified Dyson is intimidated by the beast.

Cool! Which model? There's no doubt that old Kirby will intimidate the Dyson.
