Patrick Nice machines! I love those luxes! Two Questions: What do you think of the Dyson DC28? What is you personal experience with the machine? I am thinking about purchasing one.

I have a beautiful blue electrrolux cloth hose that doesn't leak at all. It does, however have a clog. I hooked it up to my model E exhaust and barely any air blew through the end. It also made the machine "wheeze". While it was on the exhaust I unfolded a wire hanger and pushed it in as far as...

I love.. Orecks! The brushroll design and speed helps them clean fairly well. My grandparents use a newer model (A couple years old)and have thick, plush carpet. It is very, very dense. They have used their oreck twice a week since they've had the carpet. It must be doing its job because there...

Here.. is mostly high end. Rainbows are extremely popular. Many people still use S.E's and a lot of people have e series machines too. A huge number of people have an electrolux canister in their basement or attic, but a few of them are still used regularly. Oreck is really popular in my county...

P.S. Thanks for all the wonderful information Bill!

Bill... What are your thoughts on the new emptor? Do you like it better than the old style?

.. I saw the full view but I think it looks different too. It kind of seems more "cartoonish" looking from the top side than the old emptors. Also, it looked to me like the bag may be closer to the exhaust port.

What I did.. Half-way through the video, I muted the volume! lol!

changes... These changes may signify the transitioning to a new model. It could be like them using new gray wheels at the end of the run on the 515 without them being officially introduced until the redesigned 516.

Maybe I was just thinking, since they used the new emtor at the end of the sentria run, does that mean the new kirby will in fact be totally redesigned? Will they make a new "G" machine with the new emtor and other updates perhaps? Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

In a past thread, it was mentioned that kirby was going to introduce a new model with a different style emtor. I found this youtube video, uploaded last month, with what appears to be a sentria complete with a totally different emtor. Maybe it's a trick of the eyes, but I think it is different...

I... use a pet owners brushroll in my G3, even though I don't have pets in the house. I LOVE the stiffer bristles, they really lift my carpet nap and I firmly believe it improves performance. The bag fills up more quickly since I installed the new brushroll! I highly recommend them to people...

I... use plastic bags to empty my kirby shake out bags. I pull it up around the emptor as far as it will go which prevents any dust from going into the motor or coating the metal housing. I like doing that better than using newspaper.

Once on the kirby website, there was an actual picture of a sentria from the emtor side, but the height adjuster was there and the emtor was on the other side. It was when they were having that video contest a while back. Since it was from the side, a webcam couldn't be the explanation.

Thank You!! I will get right on that!

Yes! I was hoping for a smaller emtor on the new kirby.

Ok, I would like to know how to replace the bearings on my electrolux CB (blue one). I know how to get to the motor, but have no idea how to replace the bearings. Also, What kind of bearings should I buy?, Is there anything else I should do to the motor besides replace the bearings and brushes...

... I guess that means I should NOT use my PN2 that came with my CB unless I put the normal brush in it. I never realized that it had 3 rows. How interesting!

Here she is... Kind of rough. lots of handle rust. broken zipper. Sorry for the quality :/

I have one like this.. with what I am almost certain is the original bag. It has a slim white rubber top. I will post pics in a bit.
