My experiences
When ever I am at relatives I ask if they want their house vacuumed for free and most of the time they accept my offer. I have used these vaccums.
*Kirby G3 (Now mine)
*Kenmore Progressive Canister (What they replaced the Kirby with)
*Hoover Tempo
*Bissell Powerforce (blech)...
Same Old
Kirby, everyone on these forums (me included) get excited about the next new model hoping it is something different and we get the same thing except for a bag and slight color change.
It seems to be
A household model. I did some research and found it was trying to insert Windsor into the residential market before Sebo or the other brands that licensed Sebo's designs.
Kirby has a tradition of not doing major redesigns, but really that is the best they can muster? Also if they want to fill in time keep the same model, please, it just confuses people.
