    updated kirby avalir platinum?

    Agreed. I'm really hoping for a more 'out there's color for it. Maybe something in the purples or greens. G4 with it's space blue and G5 with it's beautiful burgundy is something I'd like to see return too

    updated kirby avalir platinum?

    Yeah I agree the bag topper being missing is uncanny and the Platinum it's probably the most boring design they had yet. And I actually like the previous two Avalirs too

    updated kirby avalir platinum?

    Found more updated outer bags on some EU model A2s Interesting they dont have bag toppers anymore and stitching is different. Looks to be even thicker than the pre Gsix modles https://www.kirbyservice.eu/en/kirby-avalir-2-compleetzipbrush-fabrieksnieuw/

    Best and worst aftermarket brand of bags?

    Genuinely surprised they're actually improving! I've actually been curious about both the Pop and Go (never had a proper canister) and their Intuition specifically the lift off because NO ONE else makes a bagged vac like the for some reason lol and I haven't seen much talk on the latter.

    I haven't used a Kenmore in soooo long but I hear they still make good machines and nice to hear their bags are up to snuff too. And sure mentioning your fav OEM bags is cool too! I have noticed higher end fabric bags are more tighter woven and or thicker.

    I think I know exactly what you mean about the EnviroCare bags. I cant confirm that's what i used but I got some off brand Kirby HEPA bags for free when I got some shampoo and they had this same weird notched collar that's SUPER TIGHT looked almost like these minus the seal sticker and mine had...

    I forgot to mention these! Kobolenz HEPA F&G bags are AMAZING. I had to clean an old carpet in a large house for my grandma (I got her a Sentria that fixed up now) that haven't been properly vacuumed in a good while and that had drywall dust in it BAD due to some carless renovators but It worked...

    Best and worst aftermarket brand of bags?

    Just a little fun question here. I genuinely use HEPA OEMs when it comes to my Kirby aftermarket when it comes to other brands especially Bissell and my Ridgid shop vacs i gotten after market. Some pretty good some made really thin and prone to tears and poor filtering. One good one I found for...

    updated kirby avalir platinum?

    From the video the sound is really nice IMO. Plus I'm excited for the thicker outer bags like the older Kirbys had. I wonder how the muffler is going to work in handheld and canister mode tho

    Dirt Devil Model 103 using Oreck B bags with 3D printed bag adapter

    Thanks! Yeah I agree aside from the micro fresh bags which I don't think are made anymore the G bags SUCK like you can see finer dust flying out

    Dirt Devil Model 103 using Oreck B bags with 3D printed bag adapter

    So I managed to snag myself a nice looking 103 that was pretty dirty but after a good cleaning and I got it all looking pretty. My only issue was not having a filter bag adapter and I really didn't want to use the shake out bag because really want to preserve it and after finding out how crazy...

    updated kirby avalir platinum?

    Absolutely! That should have been a main selling point considering how the Platinum is no different from the A2. I have to wonder how that muffler works in canister/handheld mode and how it works on older models. I did some research on tiktok just not too long ago and I noticed somebody had a...

    Holy cow that sounds really soothing. Like a hoover convertible! Does that mean thick outer bags are back?!

    updated kirby avalir platinum?

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

    updated kirby avalir platinum?

    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
