One of my flying partners, Nancy, gave me this Kirby G3 last week and after a little clean up here it is. I knew Nancy's mother, a fastidious woman and the original owner, who took very good care of it. She passed away last year and Nancy finally was ready to let it go.
It is complete with hose and attachments but not the rug renovator.
I ran the attachments through the dishwasher, (without any of the brushes), along with all the base trim pieces including the metal rug nozzle with the bumper removed but the bumper went through the dishwasher too!
I replaced the outer bag as a CWP, (Clevland Wood Products, a division of Scott & Fetzer, the parent company of Kirby), bag was on without the correct labeling. All the metal parts were polished with Autosol or Flitz. Other items replaced: headlight cover, lens, brushroll, belt, front wheels, fill tube and power cord.
Whether you like or hate the G series, it is a good vacuum and has the newer power switch for the tech drive. When these first came out I was not fond of them but they have grown on me. I have sold all my other G series but plan to keep this one.
