Kirby Heritage II and Legend Vacuum Owner's Video 

Gotta love the Heritage 2 , 1st Kirby I ever saw demonstrated

Found my Kirby Heritage II at a thrift and brought it home. I love it, its better than the new vacuum i was using before.

She pulled the new drive belt off of the Duster Brush. When the unit is packaged at the factory, the spare belt is slipped over the bristles of the Duster Brush. This helps to protect the bristles during shipment. In most cases, when the Dealer demonstrates the unit in the consumer's home, he/she removes the spare belt from the Duster Brush before demonstrating it ... so most people never see that it was on the Duster Brush during shipment.

That hair on the narrator lol Had a demo for this model in our home when I was a kid. I was very impressed with it, but we couldn't afford something this pricy. I have the Diamond Edition now and love it.

That Is Kirby Heritage 2 And Legend Starship Care System. It Has Mini Em-tor. Air Exhaust Port Is Right Back Here. It Is Extremely Nice Machine. I Really Like It Alot.

That Is Heritage 2 And Legend Vacuum Machine. The Final Of The Original Series. Looks Extremely Nice.

Yes, the video became available in early 1986, in VHS and Beta. For the Heritage II Legend, it was available in VHS only, if I remember right.

Hi Colinatlantic. This was the first video owner's guide. It was introduced for the Heritage II in Beta format. It was later changed to VHS format for the Legend model.

Was convinced by another RU-vidr to buy a Kirby. Found a Sentria 2. Totally blew my mind. Already had top of the line, expensive German vacuums, but the Kirby made my carpets cleaner than they've been in 20 years. Smelled like new! After watching his channels dustsucker competitions between different models where the Legend 2 won all the way up to the newest Avalir, which finally beat the Legend 2, I just had to have the old, and beautifully designed one. Finally found one in very good condition this week and it's a beauty. I think I'm terminally hooked on Kirbys! 😂

The last model of the “Classic” Kirby design and last non-TechDrive model before the Generation series was introduced. I’ve never used or even seen one, but I’d love to buy one used!

The Heritage II was introduced in 1984

I bought the same model a few years ago got it fixed I'm still amazed how well it still works now maybe the reason is taking good care of it being cleaned and polished and some spare parts being replaced as needed

Anyone know if their is a Heritage 2 vhs floating around? Would love to have one! Would also love to find a split second that went with that model. I bought my grandparents when they sold their home! Absolutely love Kirby!!!

Thanks Kirby

Hi Daconthocon78. The Generation 3 model was manufactured from 1990 to 1993. Kirby vacuums are only sold through in-home demonstrations. Our company was founded on this sales model and we believe in continuing it. It provides an opportunity for countless people to own their own business. It also allows consumer to try the unit in their home before making a purchase as well as to receive complete instructions on how to use all of the amazing Kirby features. Thanks for asking!

The belt that was installed on the rug nozzle at the factory is the soft gray belt (159056). However, the spare belt is the stronger flat one (301282).

Excellent. Just what I was looking for. So well done.

I Love The Kirby Vacuum!!!

i love the intro music

Man growing up my mom has a Heritage 2 Kirby my Grandma had a Heritage 2 until she gave it to me and she had all the attachments that she also gave to me and I bought a Heritage II from a thrift store and now I have to Heritage 2 vacuum cleaners but thank you for posting the video because I almost put the dang floor polisher brush into shampooer deal because I thought that was an extra brush and I'm glad I watched this purse to find out I was about to screw it up LOL but I got all the extra nozzle attachments and upholstery shampooer and I've been having a watch all the videos about this old vacuum to figure everything out that I haven't used before one thing I am missing is the zip brush though I wish I had that, that thing looks really slick

i bought this model used in 2016 it works great

That Is Kirby Heritage 2 And Legend Starship Care System Owner's Video. It Is Extremely Nice Machine. I Haven't Use Kirby Heritage 2 Starship Care System.

The reason why the old-fashioned Sani-Pocket/Sani Em-Tor option didn't click with many new Kirby buyers in the 1984-90 period was because unlike the then-new Mini Em-Tor/disposable bag option, the rear wheel axle was different depending on the bag setup. The Sani-Pocket/Sani Em-Tor-equipped Heritage IIs used the shorter #102080 rear axle while the Mini Em-Tor-equipped models used the longer #102084 rear axle (making the rear wheels stick out more, thus the Sani Em-Tor won't fit right).

Thank you for the information! I will call soon

Hi ClassicTVMan1981X. They sure could! This video really just showed the basics of the unit. Future videos went in to more depth covering many of the other features.

Hi Daconthocon78. This was the first unit video and it just covered some of the basics. Future videos went into more detail - and as a result are longer in length. Thanks for your question!

I know its not recommended, but I used the generation micon magic bags in my Heritage 2 cause of the better filtration

I own a 1989 KIRBY Heritage 2 Legend 2 vacuum cleaner. I buy it used.

I love my Heritage 84, And am lucky to have the optional Handi-Butler. Why are the optional tools not covered in this video? Random question- Have you stopped manufacturing original Handi-Butler and Rug-Renovator belts? If so, Why?

This was the first Kirby model to be sold with either the new-to-this-model Mini Em-Tor or with the Sani Em-Tor, the latter of which came with the old-fashioned "reusable bag" option. But by the time this machine was updated in 1987 to the "Heritage II Legend" and in 1989 to "Legend II," the latter option quickly fell out of favor with most new Kirby buyers. Even the smaller 13" wide nozzle option (a pre-1970 artifact) didn't exactly click among those who bought a new Kirby.

Hi Daconthocon78 - sorry, but we don't know the name of the music. Thanks for checking out our videos!

Just got a used Kirby Avilar works great so does the shampoo system

If I had to choose one Kirby, a difficult decision, it would have to be the Heritage 2. It is my opinion that it is the best well-rounded Kirby ever made. I own the Heritage 2 Legend with the 13 inch nozzle and it is my favorite out of the other Kirby vacuums I own.

Kirbys save you a $$$$$ over the year in carpets and furnishings. Love your home but a Kirby 👌👌👌

I know, I know you form the VL Site. Just figured to ask as why they were discontinued, and hear their side :)

The Kirby Heritage G

how come was it short the nthe sentria video

I own a Heritage with red and orange bag. What were the differences between the heritage and Heritage 2?

Is it any difference between Legend2 and Heritage2 dustbags?

I own this model. My grandma owned this model. Kirby just last so damn long!

Will some parts of this KIRBY Video help with My KIRBY Classic 3 2 - CB? For help tips.

Would it be possible to get a demonstration of the new Sentria 2 in my home? I requested one online but nothing ever happened

For both these models, you can, but it will not be the original trim color, which in the case of your model would be gray.

No model name was used on a Kirby vacuum until the 562 Sanitronic was introduced in 1962.

You're correct again, Wouldn't it be nice if they had a 500-series lightweight model again, with an actual MOTOR-DRIVEN Handi-Butler and Accessories? Is it likely to happen? No. But there's always the big release next year of the Centennial model.

I had a Heritage II, and I wish I had kept it, but I'll get another one I hope.

Even though, the whole Betamax format dates back to 1976, the year of the Classic III.

I only vacuum the living room in heals too!!

If you know the name of the music in hte video at the beginning let me kniow

Wasn't there a video of the Legend II?

what was the first video owner's guide

I'd like to know how to repack my Legend 2 shampooer box, anyone have a link?

As for "Legend" do you mean Legend II or Heritage II Legend?

I like the pre 1990 logo better.

Kirby is the greatest vacuum ever ! ❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥❤❤😎

Well, i have sold the Legend " and G3 Kirbys, and the G3's dustbag is smaller, so in a Legend it will just hang in the fabric cord and maybe break it! Maybe it's even smaller in the later G series!

It was a tape format by Sony.

I like the 1950's one, which reminds me of the Hoover logo.

+ForeverLoveisJC Actually, if you pay attention, the belt lifter makes short work of guessing how the belt goes on. You simply slip the new belt on, making sure the belt lifter is in the ON position before application, then turn the belt lifter to the OFF position to ensure the belt is grabbed by the lifter hook, then mount it to the nozzle, place belt lifter back in the ON position, and you're set.

The Kirby Company, It's Me Captain Sir Shawn David Capps Here. I Remember The Heritage 2 Vacuum Was The Final Of The Original Series. The Original Series Kirby Vacuums. It Does Do Deep Cleaning Duty. Different Brush Rolls. The Starship Care System. The Rug Renovator Is Carpet Shampoo System. The Original Series Kirby Vacuums Has Different Machine Body. The Original Series Kirby Vacuums Has Different Motor Sounds, The Next Generation Series Kirby Vacuum Motors Different Tone.

Hi Ben! Both the Legend 2 and the Heritage 2 use the G3 disposable filter bags. These are available from your local distributor or by calling 1-800-437-7170.

What year was this?

Hi Vacguy99, that's a good question ... but unfortunately I don't know why the optional tools weren't included in this particular video. For questions about parts, please give us a call at 1-800-437-7170 and our customer service team can assist you. - LW

when she was touching the "fan shaft" the only thing I could think was "girl, I know that burned the s^%& out of you!" lol.

HI Kirby Company was it possible to store the Vacuette on the Kirby legend?

Can you imagine the general public doing all that to maintain a vacuum?

Only the dark gray Heritage 1HD Rug Renovator/Miracle Head casting (303282) and the very early version of the Heritage II equivalent (supplied with units built prior to December 1984) will work on the Classic Omega, Classic III and Tradition as well... most of the Heritage II and subsequent Reno Group nozzle castings, on those units built from serial number X8412XXXXX (December 1984) don't have that one attaching lug which would jibe with the 134374 speed switch used on the Omega/III/Tradition.

Now if it could make koolaid we’d be set! 😂😂

is there a difference between the kirbys now and the kirbys then

Was the splitsecond trying to compeat with the hoover concept twos helpmate?

😊👍

Was 1990 the only year the g3s are produced? how come won't kirbys be sold in department stores like best buy?

why was the kirby logo changed in 1990?

What was the first model with tech drive

what does beta mean

The Rug Renovator belt is available as part 301289G (in pack of 3), but the Handi-Butler belt (405058) is definitely NLA.

Produced from 1950-1951.

+TheKirbyCompany, we used to have a Kirby Ultimate Diamond Edition, which got lost in a foreclosure many years ago. It was purchased through in-home demonstration. I never got to use the shampoo nozzle on it, unfortunately, however it did get much use otherwise. We now own a first generation Heritage, as of recent. Kirby makes the best vacuum cleaner, bar none. Does Kirby make Micron Magic HEPA bags for this model? It uses "Style 2," and I have not found "Style 2" bags in that form. Thanks, anyone who can help.

Which style is newer, the heritage or the legacy?

What was the thing she pulled a belt off of at 04:11?

Where did you get this video from?

Why do kirby in these videos never tell you how to assemble the kirby

At the end of this video, you can see a copyright of 1985 here.

Shiny.... never seen a split second.

The copyright at the end of this video is 1985, and the Heritage II owner's manual was revised in early 1986 to reflect availability of that.

@Ben Hard None at all; they're both Style 3.

They changed it in January 1970, when the Classic 1CR was first released. I know, because in early production, its attachments still bore the 1950s logo, but during production, the logo on the attachments changed to the then-current one.

About the Handi-Butler belt being discontinued: the device it was for hadn't been in production since early 1983.

ok i was just wandering

Cord = part #1920 (very hard to find; it's black in color and has a round female plug) Belt = part #159056 (used on most Kirby legacy models) Brush Roll = part #1482

Just got a Kirby heritage ll not a legand

It would be nion impossible to get a kirby salesman out of your house without buying the thing and it is also because Kirbys are sold at ridiculous prices and would not sell in a department store.

A lot of people don't no how to put it togeather

Indeed, They did bring it back on the Sentria model, But as a wimpy little air-powered overly-safe "Thingy"

ah the sony betamax forgot all about it

Who is the babe? She looks strong and capable of hours of fun.

.......

I'm a Bissell Man, but these old Kirbys are ok

Much shorter length then the other ones!
