Vintage Vacuuming with the 1986 Kirby Heritage 2 vacuum cleaner

[@pelcw1]

Another great video Deano! Sorry to hear about the passing of your step father. The hours of effort you put in the channel im sure are appreciated from by all your subscribers. Did your mum own any other Kirbys and what happened to her Heritage 2? Looking forward to see more on that awful G6 you just bought 😀

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

My mom still has Heritage 2 as far as I know , but sadly she bought a vax . She had a shark before the vax but had nothing but bad customer service from shark as H2 is a little heavy to push for her now .

[@jayambermsp8000]

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

All good buddy thanks , been 2 yrs now . I couldn’t get back for funeral due to covid restrictions at the time . Which now makes me mad as they were pointless. Caused more damage than good .

[@wickedxe]

Sorry for your loss, I like your videos and enthusiasm and passion. My wife and I are thinking about buying a vintage Kirby

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

@@KirbyEnthusiast I am a content creator also so I spend a lot of time on youtube and never miss an upload. I will shoot a vid when we buy one, do you have any advice on vintage Kirby's?

[@robertgwisdala5795]

The Kirby Heritage II served the Dyson DC14 on a silver platter! Kirby’s are excellent cleaners!

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

So glad the H2 showed what Dyson left in my home, more challenges coming soon

[@ronaldstrik]

My condolences for the lost of your stepfather. It was a nice dedication to him using the Heritage. A nice heritage and remembrance of him. I was you and your family strength for the coming time.

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Thanks so much Ronald means a lot , I wouldn’t wish that disease up on anyone . Thanks again for your continued support

[@JasonSmith-oy8yb]

Hi Dean, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the latest video, and know your step dad will be very proud of you and what you have achieved with the channel and the information you have passed on to all of us. Keep the good work up, and accept my deepest sympathy.

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Thanks so much for your great supportive comment, everyone has been so supportive . I will grow this to the biggest Kirby channel I memory of my step father .May he rest in peace

[@D.Pensak]

My condolences on your loss. Great video. Glad you made it through using the Dyson. I would have lasted only ten minutes. Keep up the great content and look forward to what’s to come. Thank you KE.

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Your so welcome .Thanks for your continued support and kind words . It’s hard not being able to go back for the funeral. Due to the Covid situation in the Uk

[@danielhedger5904]

Rest In Peace to your Stepfather, My Grandma went through Dementia and it was awful I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Thankyou 👍👍

[@rwdplz1]

Just picked one of these up at Salvation Army missing the head for $6! This'll be my 5th Kirby!

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

That’s awesome, I have 17 at the moment that’s including the 2 that I’m giving away at 4K Subscribers

[@alexvega7527]

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Thanks so much Alex , means a lot . Sorry for late reply, been full on with my channel. Thanks for continued support of my content

[@anne-marielewis5274]

So excited for this on, i set reminder and dinged the bell to be notified

[@ryhnomcdezzy2678]

We had one of these growing up. And it's still running...we never knew what all the attachments were for as kids...like the canister handle, we did play with it as a toy . And I just saved one from the scrap man. needs rebuild though

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Great Kirby , this was a given to me by my daughter in law she hit it for free off a buy swap sell site , came up awesome on refurb and runs a dream with original brush roll

[@RJA_World]

I've just got one of these fully refurbished from another collector. While I'm blown away by it's cleaning ability and sheer quality of every inch of the vacuum and tools, I just find it all too inconvenient to use and it's very heavy. With that being said I do like the idea of having a tool for literally every job and a total cleaning system which no other manufacture can offer, but for me personally not having at least an on-board hose is a huge no no. I like quick and easy. Maybe I don't understand the whole Kirby vibe but that's just my personal preference. P.s the shampooer really intrigues me so I will be using that at some point and do a video demonstration.

[@vacuumtests9225]

I have been watching a lot of your great videos. I really enjoyed this series. I felt the pain of Dyson stretch hose. Keep doing good work👍 Sorry about your step father.

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Thanks so much for great comment, condolences and subscribing to my channel. Your support is so appreciated 👍👍

[@TheHouseofChameleons]

I still have this since new and only replaced cord and hepa bags. Too bad my dealer closed during pandemic and I am not happy with my new one.

[@linksmith1057]

So as a test, I cleaned a swath of carpet in the unfinished portion of our laundry room, it’s basically there just to catch lint and anything else that comes out of the dryer or sucked into the basement by the HVAC. I went over the whole thing quickly with just suction with my shark to get any big things off. Then I went over half of it with the Shark with the brush on. The other half I did with the Kirby Avalir 2. Then I went over the whole thing with the Shark again. The half I did with the Kirby basically picked up nothing, but the second try on the half done by the Shark picked up a lot more. Further evidence that a Kirby is properly engineered. I mostly use the Shark to sort of pre-vacuum to save bags some.

[@neilmansfield8329]

Love this vacuum cleaner.. It is cnvertable

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

My favourite Kirby next to the classic 3 now 👌👌

[@colbolt54]

Have u ever noticed how similar the heritage to and old propeller plane?

[@graysonsvacsandmowers5426]

I have one of these myself along with a 3cb Tradition, both are fantastic, but I do believe the Tradition is more powerful than the Heritage II, but I do like the double row brush roll on the Heritage II than the single row of the Tradition.

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

I’m bidding on a tradition at the moment for my channel

[@philiprizek6384]

The old guy who gave me a whole bunch of Kirby's he ran the service center in Lincoln Nebraska he told me that tradition moved the most air

[@graysonsvacsandmowers5426]

@@philiprizek6384 Was it with the metal fan or the plastic fan?

[@philiprizek6384]

It had the metal fan in it then I changed it to the lexan they have roller bearing cap ends with the adjuster screws you should be able to put any g-series brush roller into any Kirby head well from the dual sanitronic 80 unless you have an Kirby with the apartment head on it it sucked harder after I put the new style fan on stick a toothpick in the safety switch on the front then put your head on put anti seize grease oil anything on your screw threads the oldest Kirby I have is 55 or 58 and I can't get the screws out

[@philiprizek6384]

Yep I put new bearings suction fan and motor brushes and one just maybe I may have put 4 row brush roller and then I traded it for a 1985 Chevy chevette two-door cs

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Just waiting for my new brush roll to arrive

[@mariokrystallidis2526]

Great video as usual! can you make a vid 5 days dyson and weight the dust and 5 days kirby and compare it?

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Thankyou did you watch the whole 5 day series

[@vacuumvault2469]

I'd like to find one from 1987 if you come across one available please let me know! Excellent condition I'd prefer of course. 🙂

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Think my H2 is and 1987, I have to check. Think there are a few up for sale here. For not a lot

I like the black carpet hides dirt but not from the kirby!!!

[@lovethosebudgies]

Unfortunately the close-up views were often blocked. I would rather see how the dust and dirt is dislodged on the sofa instead of watching it being vacuumed from across the room.

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

This was a early video i have remade a new version with more camera angles and close ups
