Pizzly bear sounds a lot cuter than what it really is

Reply to My parent’s 45 year old Kirby vacuum. Built like a tank and running strong. It still glides very well. by WyoBuckeye
I have used this this model vacuum many times (only the green model). It weights a ton - I remember vacuuming stairs and carrying it up stairs many times.
They also tend to not pick things up nearly as much as modern vacuums.
Yes it is made of metal and will last forever and the bag is thick material.
They have a much larger head (no idea if that is what it’s called) that picks up more area at once.
I’d be interested to hear from others.

Wonder if they had PhD candidates back then.
“Yes I will sponsor you but part of your lab duties will include weighing my food and excrement.”

Reply to My grandma owns a lot of machinery she really bought for life in the 50s/60s/70s... Some examples. by worldiscubik
I have a friend who is a musician - she has a 1950s stove and her kitchen looks like it came out of an episode of I love Lucy. She would love this stuff.

Reply to 1987 vw jetta. Starts, runs, tiny maintenance costs and never left me stranded. Soon 300k km. Got it since 5y + by korky1318
Is this the diesel model? I used to have an early 1990s Jetta diesel manual transmission. Around $5 would fill the tank up and a tank would last me almost a month
