    Potential New Kirby Vacuum Model Discussion

    I cant even call this sentria 5 because it’s not even a real color scheme change. From the 2 images i saw on the web (fb and kirbys website, both images show the lower half the machine, so i can’t tell if im looking at avalir 2 or a new avalir. To me it looks like a combination of avalir 1 and...

    Potential New Kirby Vacuum Model Discussion

    hate to break it to yall but its called avalir platnium and its still black with grey accents now, Someone commented with a picture on kirby's fb page and the picture hinted it was called "avalir platnium". I guess kirby didn't want to add the number 3 because they knew it was to much...

    Potential New Kirby Vacuum Model Discussion

    here we go with sentria 5 on the horizon...... I'm also sorry to hear about your home. Someone once said to me that "things can always be replaces, but peoples lives can't".

    Potential New Kirby Vacuum Model Discussion

    @dysonman1 what do you know about said kirby convention? Any inside sources? Also my question for the group is how do we know kirby is planning on launching anything at all? Like how ofton do they have these conventions and how ofton are they followed with a new model or some sort of launch.

    Potential New Kirby Vacuum Model Discussion

    I personally don't thing kirby would go down the black and yellow rout. I mean they already had that with the g6 back in the late 90s/ early 2000s and to do it again, it would be a similar replica of the g6 with a few cosmetic differences. Even If its still a color change they still have the...

    Potential New Kirby Vacuum Model Discussion

    lord here we go again... 6 years just for another color scheme, if it even is that. Hopefully down the line they bring back older accessories, such as the sentria handi butler, or something new, espescially since they inflated the prince. shoot 10 years ago the base package with the machine and...

    yes the black and blue is a nice color scheme but after 6 years its time for something new.

    Potential New Kirby Vacuum Model Discussion

    I do hope kirby does away with the black color scheme with accent colors. If we really want to get technical, avalir 2 really isn't a "color" change let alone a pattern change compare from when kirby went from the sentria to the sentria 2. That alone was a different color and pattern scheme. As...

    Potential New Kirby Vacuum Model Discussion

    Agreed Yeah its been way to long for the avalir 2 to be in production. Even people are commenting on kirby's facebook page saying things like its time to release a new model, which people aren't wrong. I've given up on kirby a long time ago in terms of modernizing and tweaking their design...

    What vacuums do you hope will come out in 2024?

    @kirbyg6 Yeah I feel like the MS3 was very gimmicky. I say that because even though it added a mop feature to it, you would still need a mopping device to clean in the hard to reach places, like behind the toilets, or even if you had flooring on stairs, you would need a mop for that. Also I...

    What vacuums do you hope will come out in 2024?

    @kirbyg6 Not only that but the avalir systems will be 10 (avalir) and 6 (avalir 2)in 2024. Its beyound time for kirby to retired the avalir systems, which realistically they're just black sentria's with a different accent color and also 6 years is the most kirby has had a model in production...

    What vacuums do you hope will come out in 2024?

    A new kirby would be nice as avalir 2 is going to be turning 6, but thats a long shot. Also a new rainbow would be nice as well. We all know dyson is going to release a new model, they do every year. This also isn't a new vacuum,but something new for a rainbow system would be nice, rather it be...

    Why is it taking Kirby so long

    Assuming thats all true about the attach hose, how will they implement that function into using the system in other cleaning modes, like the shampooer, blower mode, ect?

    Why is it taking Kirby so long

    Not only that, but those DTD sales people that offer the small air purifier use that as a way to sell the bigger machine version of them(cough couh rainbow). They use the smaller air purifier as a starter to sell the bigger one, that way if they like the smaller one, they'll be interested in...

    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...
