Kirby Tradition history

The Kirby Tradition was created in 1979, and was the first Kirby vacuum cleaner to make use of the paper bags. The bags in question are the Kirby style 1 bags, which can still be purchased online.

The fact that these vacuum cleaners are still in use after more than 30 years is a testament to their exceptional build quality and performance. The strength and durability of the Kirby Tradition still outweighs that of even its more expensive modern rivals.
