    Anyone know anything about this Electrolux?

    Thank You Hans! I hoped you would chime in on this one. It’s a pretty cool machine and works flawlessly, it was a trade in at my local Kirby office. It was taken very good care of.

    I bought an Avalir 2 :)

    Love the Sentria 2! I have one of those in the box. That’s my favorite style model of the newer Kirby’s. I usually would never buy and new Kirby but couldn’t resist the deal I got.

    Suckolux The handle design really does create a better feel than my previous Kirby’s. It also seems to be more sturdy than previous models.

    I bought an Avalir 2 :)

    It sounds almost identical to my sentria 2 I do not believe they put a brushless motor in it. It Still has the classic Kirby sound. I will post a video Thursday.

    the late Clay Floyd's Air-Way
