Stan, Just curious, how does the 8300 clean slightly better than your Sentria? Is it just due to it having the larger motor and more airflow or more?

Congrats On your new machine, twinkie51999. I hope you'll post a few photos along with your first impressions. Tom, nice picture, great to see how Electrolux/Aerus has evolved over the years. Just curious, about how much do these run today? Just wonder if they've increased/decreased in price...

You're very welcome Dan, It'll be worth the wait!!! ☺☺☺

Dan, It's great that you learned valuble enrepeneurship skills at such an early age. I also learned early on how to change bags, belts, switches, brushrolls, cords, etc.. I've had quite a few, and only have 2 Hoovers left in my collection today... However, hopefully soon I'll proudly be buying...

Dan Can't tell you how excited I am to hear about this. Hoover has been an icon brand for so many years, and its about time they bring production back to the States. I always wondered if they ever would.. This is by far the best news I've heard of in a long time!!. I can't wait to see what good...

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ☺

Thanks Rob.. It's funny because I recently just thought that it might be time to upgrade. Kirbys in general are very common. It's not too hard to find a pretty good deal on them too. I was just at a goodwill store the other day and saw a Sentria 2 that was being sold for $200. However, it was...

You're right sptyks.. I wont mess with it then. Thanks for the info :)

Well.. I have a G3, and what is considered the standard brushroll. It works well with my carpets, but I've heard very good things about the new stiffer Sentria/ Avalir brushroll. However I found out that I can't use it on my G3 because of the bpi magnet sensor being on the opposite side... :( I...

Kirbycollector... You impress me.. You have REALLY good taste for someone so young!! That's definitely what I would recommend :) As for the site.. It needs work!! There is no depth to it.. I feel like it's more for the average day to day consumer that just doesn't care about quality and brand...

I'm a big fan of Tacony products If you need a corded bagless, lightweight stick type of vacuum, I would look into the "Steward" broom vac from Riccar. It looks like it would be a good fit for your needs. http://riccar.com/steward-broom-vacuum

I had one of these Similar to this one many years ago. This one sounds very rough, and nohing like what I remembered. I agree with everyone saying that it may be the fan (first place I'd check) but I would also try to look into the possibility of seeing whether or not it may be a motor bearing...

I've always seen comparing the Classic and the Legacy against the Platinum like comparing apples to oranges, at least when looking at those specs with air watts, waterlift, etc I agree Tom & Mike, cloth bags are usually always to go. However, I've heard of owners having their warranties...

Just curious.. How stong is the suction on these compairing to the lux platinum?

Wow.. Definitely wasn't ready to hear that news. I've had a few family members that each had panasonics that seemed to hold up well and were pretty good machines. It'll be a significant loss to the vac world for sure. Sad to see them discontinue what was once a really good piece of their...

@kirbysthebest No prob, glad you like. Is there a lux upright thats maybe better than the other models? or have they pretty much all been the same? (seems like it)

@kirbysthebest It's interesting that you say that they're good cleaners. I've never owned one, but everybody I've talked to say that they aren't good deep cleaners. I love the design, and shows that it has lived up to its reputation over the years.

@kirby Ok cool I'll check it out, thanks again.. yup I'm in Columbus too

Awesome find, Thomas!! I've been looking to upgrade from a G3 to a newer Kirby myself.. Maybe I should check out that pawn shop too, thanks for sharing!

Here is my one and only.. Hoover WindTunnel Self-Propelled, which I've had for 11-12 years, and my daily workhorse. Very well cared for too. I also had a blue WindTunnel of around the same time period, but not anymore.
