    Kirby Ultimate G and Diamond Edition I have to respectfully disagree with a comment made about the Ultimate G Diamond Edition. The Ultimate G was released in 2002, and the Diamond Edition was released in 2003. The DE ran until 2006, when it was replaced by the Sentria. I do agree that the DE...

    A Strange Kirby Classic Omega...

    If memory serves, Wasn't the Tradition the first Kirby with a 240v motor made for over there?  If so, then the motor in the Omega would have been replaced with a Tradition motor, since over here, those models share the same motor.
