Well I nevah!!!
You know...this could open up a whole new can of worms for me, what comedic material I could come up with for THIS one. I won't do anything more than PG rated.
rayjay!!!! Forget the Sunbeam CoffeeMaster, I WANT this! LOL
j/k..maybe, maybe not. (it IS getting near my B-day *wink*)
Bid Bid Bid!
If I got this, think of all the folks who would want massages, at wash-ins...and then Venus could whip up some eggs for omelets! My my my, this is a very versatile tool. *snickers*
Wouldn't be too "handy" for someone with carpel tunnel tho.
I better stop...hehehe I'm not even close to being warm.
R-rated version is soo much funnier tho...LOL

Not what you all think-at least I don't think
I think this is (based on the provided attatchments) intended as a massager for aches and pains. I guess you could get creative though.

Has anyone ever used the Filter Queen Vibrater? Tee Hee. Very Odd.

actually they were used for that other purpose too.
Such uses were actually prescribed by doctors for women who were overwrought, anxious, emotional. It was almost a piece of medical apparatus. Not really an implement of pleasure, more to provide relief. The back massage attachments added an air of legitimacy and did make it more versatile but there is no doubt about its prime purpose.

Also Kirbys had a vibrator-have one around somewhere.Its said that to some folks was the most pleasurable part of the machine!!The current "Turbo Tool" has a massage pad with it.You used the Kirby vibrator on the flex shaft attachment that went with the Handi-Butler.You would use it like an old Oster vibrator hand held massager.
ok out of curiousity I HAVE to ask....
show us your "Turbo-tool"
show us your "Turbo-tool"
The Turbo Tool is an optional attachment used with the Kirby "G" series machines.Its a sander,polisher,scrubber or a massager depending on what pad you put on it.It is powered by the airflow of the Kirby.when I have used it as a sander I can barely stall it by putting my full weight on it.Its a very powerful device.when its a sander-its like the vibrator-oscillating pad sanders.It uses a 1/3 sheet of paper.It aslo uses the vacuum action of the Kirby to collect the dust-great for drywall jobs!!There is some on Ebay-you can see them there-Strange the Kirby website doesn't show the Turbo Accesory-or Turbo Tool.On one of the EBAY pictures of the device-the red pad is the massage pad.
tks!

Oh my!, how energy-efficient!
Perfect for off-grid living, when you don't want to run down your PV system batteries overnight.
I suppose this is whence came the expression "it turns your crank"!

Certainly not where Eureka came up with the Vibra-Groomer. I had a friend who carpeted his whole house but would always buy a little Eureka Princess with one of these. I told him not to worry about trying to find this atachment after I put it away. I don't know why he would not buy an upright.
Now don't read this if you have delicate sensibilities:
When I worked in housewares at Rich's in Atlanta, we started selling Panasonic small appliances like the blenders (very interesting designs), blow dryer and the Panibrator, an large, interesting, but certainly not suggestively shaped body massager with a body like a long white column and a vibrating end that was of a larger circumference with a ribbed drum shape. One morning a phone call was answered by one of the sweetest women, of a certain age, who had recently begun working during the Christmas season. She began the conversation very normally, listening while the lady on the other end asked if the Small Electrics Department sold vibrators. Sarah demonstrated excellent product knowledge by explaining about the two different types; the type that you put on the back of your hand for a deep manual massage and then the Panasonic style. She paused and then this look of absolute horror came over her face. She was in such a state of "high horror" that when our male manager walked by, she just pushed the receiver at him, forcing him to take the call. He finished the call quickly and sent one of the other ladies to find and comfort Sarah. The caller's final request was something to the effect of,
"No, not that type. I want one shaped like your penis." I don't know which of the last two words freaked her out more. The other ladies talked about it among themselves and discussed it with a couple of us guys in the department, but the Southern males were far too gallant to mention it to Sarah.
