    Why is it taking Kirby so long

    I doubt kirby will come out with a couple of different models at the same time. They, like a lot of other high end companies, will come out with one model that will be the main focus in terms of selling, untill they come out with something new. Its like what rexair did with transitioning from...

    Why is it taking Kirby so long

    I'm sure kirby will probably launch something new someday and I'm sure they're well aware of the issues that consumers want adressed. I'm just curious to when they will launch a new system / platform and how long the research and development went into it. They've milked the sentria/avalir...

    Why is it taking Kirby so long

    Avalir 2 wasn't even a real color scheme changed. All they really did was switch out the red accents with blue and went from a black outter handle to a blue one and also went from the chrome style belt lifter that theyve been using since 2006 to a black plastic version that they've used before...

    Why is it taking Kirby so long

    good question I like to know the answer myself. I do think that society is way overdue for a new model. I think several factors play into why they haven't release a new model. The first being the covid pandemic and most people being either out of work or not allowing people, such as in home...

    Kirby Avalir actually Sentria G10E?

    Thats because the sentria and avalir are basically the same machine. The only real difference is the color scheme and pattern scheme and the name. Otherwise its the same machine that weve had for almost 18 years, on a platform that we've had for almost 34 years. Both sentria and avalir use the...

    Looks like FilterQueen is diversifying the brand

    Still curious to when the next Kirby will come out and what it'll look like. Avalir 2 is 5 1/2 years in production. Come on kirby, release the next system.

    Looks like FilterQueen is diversifying the brand

    ^ easy.... kirby hasn't been doing nothing and has had the same avalir/sentria cosmetic design for 17 years now and also the same platform for over 33 years now. I've lost faith in kirby when they came out with the avalir back in 2014 and then again a few years later with the avalir 2, which...

    Putting my Rinnbow toward!

    The kirby shampoo system is somewhat a joke and also a gemic. Yes it shampoos and refreshens your carpets, but it doesn't extract and removes the stains. Not only that but it's wide and bulky,loud and unbareable, especially when you use it to mop the floors assuming you have the new updated...

    Viewing new Rainbow

    Are you talking about the SRX? It's been out for almost 4 years at this point. Don't get me wrong its a good machine and I own it. It has had some minor tweaks here and there, the most recent being the "new power nozzle". Unless your talking about a machine thats even newer than the SRX. In fact...

    New Dyson Robotvac, Hepa Stick Vac and Floor Washer

    Im so glad they came out with the gen5 model. I didn't expect to get a gen5 outsize model as well. If my current v11 outsize wasn't in the best condition I would upgrade but I have no reason to. I do like the new mop attachment (the submarine) that is also getting launched as well. This new mop...

    Kirby motor bearing

    its time kirby come out with a new model. Sentria 4 is well over 5yr old and its time for something new to come out, even if its another G-series (sadly).

    Rainbow SRX Separator Update

    Supposedly the SRX got an updated motor as well. From what I can tell from a previous thred several things must've been changed and they are as followed: the power nozzle (the obvious one) the separator and the motor. I can see the power nozzle getting updated but whats the reason for...

    Thrift store find

    im not surprised its a kirby. I'm so ready for kirby to ditch the sentria/avlir look and ditch the g-series design. For crying out loud its over 33 years old now.

    What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE?

    Any word about this new nozzle as well as updated motor and separator? any new pics?

    What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE?

    The day kirby addresses the major concerns that people have with their machines will be an eye opener. I'm curious to what they'll come up next. I mean its been over 5 years since Avalir 2 (sentria 4), so they've gotta have something in the works. Because no one is going to pay over 2500 for a...

    What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE?

    speaking of new motor. Can current srx owners get this new updated motor instead of having to get a whole new unit? The same can be said for the "new" separator

    What makes the SRX so HORRIBLE?

    With all these updates to the SRX, they mines well release a new model at this point and use those as strong key factors for why its better than the SRX.
