Congratulations. It's a great piece. Its the only vacuum in my collection that my wife will use. Although, sometimes I wish she wouldn't. I can hear the canister banging into walls and the power nozzle slamming into baseboards.[this post was last edited: 8/10/2015-17:52]

There were a few floating around here, but they were snatched up quick. Did you ever get your avalir

Sean You can do it. It's real easy. Theirs a few videos on YouTube to walk you threw it

I will Ask him. They sell and repair high end vacuums still.

That's close to my house. That place has been in business forever. A very honest, and fair shop. Next time I'm in there ,I'll have to direct the owner to this thread.

Go with the 351. The 4.9 liter inline six is one of the best engines of all time. My heating & cooling guy has one in his 1996 e250

Hey Francis , did you ever get an avalir.

I agree With everybody else. I like the look, but they don't last. By the way Derek, did you ever get your tools for your compact

Also, you're right about the dealers, not being up to date with product. I went into many shops inquiring about the wonder and prima, and nobody knew what I was talking about. I had to show them the thread Tom posted a year ago about the wonder.

I ordered The prima from Tom when they were first released. Like Tom said, it is a suction monster. The most impressive thing about it is the noise, or lack of it. It is the most quiet vac I own, and I have a central vac also. The wow tool, is the best hard floor cleaner I've used. The air...

I love the vernors sign. The hoovers look great too.

I have the prima with the power nozzle. It's such a well rounded, great performing machine. You can't go wrong with any of the riccars.

How are you liking it so far?

Don't even bother with the distributor. Email or call Kirby direct, and like rob said they will rebuild it for you. I called last year ,out of curiosity, for a price on a g-6 rebuild, and Kirby quoted me $350 plus shipping.

That's a good way to live. I have to drop my riccar off at arbor vac this week for its red carpet service.

They will rebuild it for you. It just cost more

Thats A good point.

That machine looks a lot nicer, than I thought it would. Usually, when somebody gives something away, it's pretty beat up. What store do you own.

I'm not gonna buy it. I have 220 out in my garage, but not in my house. Good eye Tom. I prefer the new one with the illuminated water basin. I'd like to get the 15' hose like you have, Tom.

I think The black bag looks pretty good.
