Also... I don't think there is a single vacuum in existence that I want more than that Generation 3 Prototype. This is a long shot, but if anyone out there has one by chance, and they are willing to cough it up for some cash... please let me know. That would actually be awesome. I know they are...

Sorry for bringing back a very old thread, but I wanted to mention for those who didn't know. In the Sentria owners video, the Sentria used has a delicate switch. Which could indicate that Kirby wanted to continue with the switch, though it is never mentioned in the video. It is interesting to...

That’s an odd shade of green. Check the inside of that trim ring. It could either be a very faded and discolored original trim, or an aftermarket. The D80 was no where near that shade of green.

I can confirm The early 516s had no suction relief. That’s a cool find there!

Well Hopefully something will happen. Better than nothing happening at all. Something has to happen, whether it’s a color change, or redesign. Something… and not nothing.

Panasonicvac Yes! I would love to see that! A Royal resurrected as a Kirby would be so cool if I’m being honest. Maybe even bring back the 888 style one with the removable nozzle and belt lifter. I doubt it’ll ever happen, but just imagine…

The seller Probably did a decent amount of research and saw that collectors tend to sell these for this price. Hence why a non collector has listed it this high.

That is very cool and in decent shape for its age. Though I can’t justify paying $1200 for it. If it were fully restored, possibly. But I’ve already gone down that road before, and have no intention of doing it again. Hopefully it finds a good home with a collector who’ll give it some love and...

Well It’d be very cool to see Kirby make a change regarding their sales method. I think maybe they should have vacuum shops, and janitorial suppliers sell them. As well as have them available on their page. That would be a cool thing to see. Back to new models. This is very unlikely to happen...

As I’ve said before… We’ll see what happens. It’s good to have this thread to discuss this.

The Sentria & Avalir names are pretty interesting. According to a thorough google search, these are their meanings. Sentria means “Versatility” Avalir means “To Destroy” They seem pretty obvious to me. Kirby is basically saying the machine is versatile and destroys dirt and debris.

The Diamond Edition Is a more desirable Kirby for its delicate switch. Which allows you to switch between normal and low speeds for different carpets and rugs, as well as drapes and furniture with the hose.

Here is some of the discussion from the other thread. I figured I’d carry some of it over to here.

Yeah it would be very cool indeed. We’ll see if they are actually releasing one. Where I stand with this whole thing. I want it to be true, and I hope it is. But I’m not going to hold my breath until we hear something more official.

I decided to make a thread dedicated to the rumored new Kirby, since another thread was getting filled with comments about this. As mentioned earlier, there is a rumored new Kirby model, that is said to come out this year. Take this with a grain of salt. There’s no guaranteed information here...

What happens, happens… We’ll see what happens. Maybe we’ll get another recolored Sentria, as always. Get an all new model, which would be exciting. Or nothing will happen at all. Anything could happen at this point.

My mistake I gave the wrong group name. I found this on “No Kirby Left Behind” on Facebook.
