My 1999 Kirby Gsix Did This Too But Fortunately I Took The Machine Apart And Took The Transmission Out And Put The Selector Switch Back On And Put The Machine Back Together And Tested It And It Seems To Work Properly

I had a blod clot soon after the Pfizer covid shot

I did everything in the video, and the green light is still off. Any suggestions?

I rebuilt my generation 5 new carbon brushes and all Bearings front and rear and rebuilt the transmission and polish the metal and the communicator and a new light bulb and a new power cord so my vacuum cleaner is like if it was brand new 🆕

Just an FYI. You seem very knowledgeable. I’m in the US & it’s very difficult for me to try to understand what you’re saying. Not only bc of your accent. But bc you speak really fast & have a strong accent. I even turned the CC & it didn’t help. But I did slowed down the video. And that helped a lot.

What direction does the rear Is armature Spring go?

Has anyone heard of the Kirby Avalir Platinum?

hi Dean - sorry for posting this here but I really need your help: between the G5 or G6 and the Sentria which one you advice to get? the Sentria is newer so to say but I read on forums that they are not as well build as the G series (apparentky Sentria uses more plastic parts). I'm really lost tbh not lnowing which one to pick ( second hand on Fb marketplace ebay etc). What is your advice? I hope you get well soon 🙏

Howdy mate, Thank you very much for sharing this video with us. I have a Kirby Santria and it's never been completely cleaned but after watching how you've cleaned the one in the video, I'm going to clean mine. So, great video mate, thanks again... hope your doing well, and hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 😊

Its just me but while you are in there repack all bearings.any ways

Dean dean dean you like a super cleaning machine!!!!

So when shampooing put in N and set head as low as it’ll go? Not like D and 1 notch after brrrr noise when vacuuming correct?

utterly failed to show how to mount to the wall - in fact you missed the mouting bracket all together so thanks for reading the instruction book to us. Otherwise - brilliantly devoid of any insight

I like that this guy is very good at explaining the process with the Kirby and how to set up etc (in other videos of him). But being from Australia, he has a heavy accent and talks very fast. Hard to understand at times, even though I'm a northerner in the United States (Michigan) where we talk fast, but if he could slow down a little, that would help. Just some feedback.😊

It doesn't look like that hose is longer.

Had to turn on CC for this one! 🤣

I have a 2x Lengends 2. 2 x G3, 2 x G4. Earlier models and a G8 Ultimate, which someone nicked from our social club. Purchased Used one off Ebay. Too heavy for the Mrs, as she used the Vax-Pet Model. Not arguing with the Mrs. LOL

I have my grandmothers Kirby Gen 3 Vaccum and it works great except that the part that keeps the handle upright when not in use won’t catch. So I have to prop it up against the wall. What part do I need to order and replace so that it will stand upright on its own, thanks for the advice.

8:09 WOW!

🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

I have a Kirby Sentria but dont have that brush for moping😢

can I use classic 3 attachments with a heritage 2?

Thanks...easiest fix!!

You totally helped me save my Kirby today! Thank you

So sorry you're going through this. I had no idea. Sending prayers and good wishes.

So the other night i was taking out the garbage to the apartment dumpster, sitting there was an Avalir 100th with all the attachments, I'm not a dumpster diver but I was like man why would they throw this out, they can be repaired, anyway I called my Kirby guy and he told if it runs its good, so i plugged it in and attached the hose and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. the only thing I found was the belt was broken on the power head, fully inspecting the unit it was immaculate and actually looked like it wasnt run much at all, this vacuum was immaculate on the inside, not dust anywhere on the inside. the self propel drive works really well and all the LED Lighting works too.

I just lean our Kirby’s over to the side a little when I turn them on or off. That way the roller isn’t in contact with the floor when I stop and start. Our place is small, we have a lot of obstacles and I would spend half the day adjusting the height if I used the ‘official’ method, would become rather tedious. Just saw latest Avalir Platinum. Kirby went all out with by this update. They would have spent literally **hundreds ** of dollars on this cosmetic update!! I guess the colours ( shades? ) will age well. Hope the castings have improved. The last few Avalirs I have pulled apart have shown a deterioration in quality compared to the G5/6 era machines. Maybe the moulds are getting tired. Still an outstanding machine and without peer… after all this time.

I found a Kirby classic lll with the hose in the trash the day before thanksgiving someone brought a house and they was cleaning it out they saw me looking through the pile on the curb the front door was open and a lady was coming out with a cabinet I helped her take out I saw the Kirby in the living room she asked me if I wanted it I said yes

My wife and I have had our Kirby vacuum, for probably 6 years now. I love the thing and use it regularly; your video was quite the time saver for me. My wife has always shampooed the carpets, while I vacuum them, however her and the kids are off visiting family. I figured I'd take the time to learn how to shampoo the carpets, so it'll already be done by the time she gets back. Thanks for putting this information out there. I'll be sure to follow!

I hate this I got it but not having issues and customer service sucks no one is helping us

Thank you!

Thank you

I just picked up a really nice one a couple of days ago and am getting to work. Thank you soooo much for this video! Priceless! I'm definitely getting the view count up with this one. 😜👍

Thank you!!

Hope all goes well.

Thanks for helping the world of Kirby users figure out our issues. This one helped me out today so thank you very much for that!

G5...I have me mums handed-down, front-door salesperson, purchased G5 kit. 25+ years of rugged performance, and still going strong. Recently acquired a second from local thrift shop for parts. So, yeah..Gen5 for me. Also, love it's R&D history.

Thank you for this video. I don't regret buying mine because there isn't anything out there that has the sucking power a Kirby has. I do agree with the last comment, that this vacuum isn't for everyone. There has to be faithfully responsible do maintain this investment. I finally know how to fix the flickering light/skipping roller problem. Thank you again again and again.

Thank you.

I wish you the best life full of health and wealth

I have one and love it. I now know a couple of others looking for one so I would say this is quite collectible. Find one? grab it and keep it.

I was just thinking about this video today, my family go the kirby sentria long time ago and i have it right now i was trying to deap clean my carpet and i found your channel, absolutely the best thank you for all the hard work you put throughout the years Also i got a random question i couldn't find the sponge filter for the carpet cleaning tools what can I replace it with as a diy or something

The battery its full but not start

I went and bought a snap ring plier because in the beginning of part one you said we need it and I haven’t found a single snap ring anywhere in the Kirby or your videos. Kind of confused.
