No Fair! I had made plans to visit the HOOVER Historical Center right before the convention, but with the car breaking down in Medina, OH, that didn't happen. It was a wonder we made it to the hotel on the right day!

Reply No.7 Is this not the wanted brushroll?

With all due respect, Kirbykid I would take the machine on the left any day of the week.

I have had excellent results using the Rug Renovator.

When I talked with John Lackner at the Convention, he said something to the effect of "it would be something completely new in the vacuum world." I also heard that Kirby and CWP had been working on it for the past four or five years.

I got my Sentria for $15 from Goodwill a year ago. I polished it up and took it to Cleveland and showed everyone at the Convention. It really is a great machine.

I've already gotten to use that system, and have been aware of it since in debuted. I thought that this model was coming to an end.

2011 to 2014 Have they updated it already???

HOOVER blender I used to have a HOOVER blender, but I lost it when the old house got repossessed. So sad. :-(

Instead of buying a soft belt, I would recommend buying a four row ball bearing brushroll. It will perform much better with a knurled belt and four row brushroll. The new brushroll with give double the agitation, and will last much longer than the old sleeve bearing brushroll.

You can't fix stupid You'd probably get better results cleaning with the Kirby dirt meter IMHO. If I ever found a Kirby with one of those keeler things, I'd take it off and smash it to bits.

Still won't work I haven't tried my computer yet, but none of my YT apps will let me sub.

Scott, I tried to subscribe to your channel, but it said "publisher not found."

I'll be there! Less than a year to go...

For all we know it could be an operator error. If the fan is present, the motor spins freely, and the belt and brushroll are good, there is absolutely no reason why this Kirby should not be picking up stuff. You need to make sure that when you use it, you adjust the Toe Touch Control properly...

TLC If I could afford parts, I sure would.....

Very Very Nice! Compared to that, my Franken-G5 looks like crap. I will be making it look as spiffy as yours as soon as I get a new drive, handle back, and cord.

Yep, I've dropped many a Kirby transmission.

In normal use, this Tech Drive makes a sound not unlike someone pushing a Kirby Generation series against a wall in drive. Both forward and reverse make this same sound. I've been using it to vacuum my house (all shag carpet), and I think it is getting worse. Now, in forward, it does this thing...

Limited life left You said the noise means that it has a limited life left. What will happen when it does die? Will it seize up or something?
