Wow that is some white carpet! There is no way you allow shoes on that (or have any kids lol).

Well you DO have a Kirby. I have the diamond edition and love it.

@billybassman21 Believe it or not I do wear shoes, and have a miniature schnauzer that often runs around like a madman with wet muddy paws :)  I just clean the carpet about every 3 months or so, and vacuum regularly. I have 2 Kirbys, mostly use my Sentria but sometimes pull out my Heritage II.

I use to have a kirby heritage 2 it was a good vacuum for many years, aso got to use the shampooer on it worked like a charm, would get another one if i could or a newer kirby model.

@megadarren2 I enjoy using mine from time to time, but I generally grab my Sentria as my day to day machine. The Heritage II is a bit more work for the back :) You can find cheap machines on eBay that are in decent condition - even if it has a few flaws, replacement parts are very affordable and easy to find on eBay as well.

so does that micro matic adjustment get worse and slip with the more use it gets? because i have heard that it was a defect on the heritage 2 and legend 2 models.

it was just wondering because your heritage 2 is brand new and it didn't slip in this video. has it slipped at all for you recently.

@NumaticVacuum I have heard the same thing but I have not experienced it on mine. I don't use it very often though, it's more of a collector piece for me. If the mechanism is worn out, it will need a new ratchet lever and or fan case to fix it.

@MieleTouchtronic Thanks for the reply. Wow it looks amazing! I'm the same way. I wear shoes when I want, vacuum frequently and shampoo as needed. My carpet while darker than yours looks good and I thank Kirby for it. My old vacuum just didn't keep it clean enough.

I've found my Classic 3 is easier to push, only cause i have the suction release open full, due to the metal fan in it, the Heritage 2 however, with the plastic fan, is still a suction horse, it still lifts carpets and thats when it gets hard to push a kirby In my opinion

[MieleTouchtronic]

@NumaticVacuum LOL it's ok. I did replace the brushroll in it with a Kirby replacement that has ball bearing ends - makes a total difference on how easy it is to push, not the bearings but the new brushroll design somehow makes a night and day difference. Also I have new bearings for the motor but have not put them in. In this video you can pick up on the bearing whine which has gotten worse as I have put more hours on the motor. Just have not gotten around to putting them in yet.
