The wife brought home her Mom's Kirby upright vacuum that Mom had
been using since the old man bought it for her back in the 50's.
Seems our second daughter had laid claim to it many years ago and
grandma told her it was hers when she was done with it. Well the
time is here and June takes it down to her. SIL takes one look at
it and asks my daughter what possible use she could have for an
old piece of junk like that. Mind you this has all the original
attachments still in the original boxes. So Samantha being the
good wife decides she doesn't want it. I really thought I had
taught her better. Anyway I decided to vacuum the living room,
kitchen and hall today. OMG!!!! what a workout! It isn't that the
thing is heavy, the kitchen was easy, but when I hit the carpet
it was like pushing a tank. You could see the vacuum picking up
the carpet. I wish my "heavy duty" shop vac had even half the
suction of this. I may see if I can steal this to use in the
shop, but I'm very much afraid that I may not get a chance. June
thinks it "isn't too bad" so I'll just have to dream about an
adequate shop vac.
I've heard about how good these are but as they say seeing is
believing. I guess the next job is taking it apart and doing a
service, clean and oil. I'll be Googling for that later.
