this sounds familier!!LOl- My ex- did the same thing -way back in 1978 or so- I was mad- but later on i had to cange my mind- I had that Kirby untill it was stolen out of my storage shed-in 2003- yep worked like it was brand new - the shampooer was great, but water tank small, but a good cleaner! My aunt gave me her newer Kirby generation 3- it is good, but not near as good as my old one- I wish i had it back- they are or were a little heavy, and attachments/ or the belt was a pain- but a great sweeper! Last for ever!!I used mine hard for25 year- and it was still just like new when it was stolen!
