Once you know which model you have, you can search specifically for the right parts. Pay particular attention to universal parts that are suitable for multiple generations, but always check for exceptions. Using original or compatible parts ensures that your Kirby vacuum cleaner continues to perform optimally and significantly extends its service life.
