updated kirby avalir platinum?

[juju93]

So I was searching the web and came across a few post on facebook. Appearantly the avalir platinum got some upgades. From what it looks like, it looks as if they did away with the fill tube on the inside of the permanant bag and added some sort of muffler tube? Not sure what the purpose of this is. It looks as if they did it to help make the machine more quieter (about time). My question is, is this just when using the machine as a vacuum or is this also applied to other cleaning modes such as canister cleaning and carpet shampooing. Like is it just the bag system that got the noise reduction upgrade or did the machine get some sort of interal upgrade to make it more quieter.

Can you link to that please because I'm curious! Surprised they didn't go for a thicker outer bag too. One draw back is the thinner bags look a bit uhhhhhh odd then the fill tube is pressed against the front

Yeah in the uk we have had it since the Av2 because of the EU noise regulations i know the platinum has been out for a while now but I’m interested to see if the next model is even more quieter

Really? What do they look like and how do they affect airflow? I'm actually really curious lol

Unfortunately I don’t have but I’m also interested to see what they are like

I found this but the page with bag and emptor parts is confusing to my pea brain and doesn't really answer the question.

Holy cow that sounds really soothing. Like a hoover convertible!


Does that mean thick outer bags are back?!

Unsure about the bag's thickness but they added a muffler to the filltube. And they did....something with the cooling air exhaust too.
