    Door to Door sales and their relevance in 2018 and beyond...

    There are crooks, and they prey on the elderly. Unfortunately it happens. It isn't just DTD, but repair persons, roofers, etc. All a factor of isolation as you state, as well as in some cases high pressure. We did not high pressure, because we lived in that town.

    sptyks One thing I will disagree with you on. "Up scale neighborhood". When I sold Kirby, there was a better chance selling in the trailer park, and "rough" part of town that there was the Upper neighborhoods. Because I was in a college town, the upper neighborhoods were mostly college...

    New Rainbow

    Are Rainbow repair parts that cheap? I had always found them to be terribly expensive, then again that was paying wholesale. In most cases the sum is worth more than the whole. They once did a study as to why car theft was so popular. It's because at the time a $12,000 Honda Civic was...

    Kirby Tradition Fill-tube design flaw?

    It was explained to me, and I worked for Kirby during the Tradition run, that the reasoning behind the smaller fill tube was to throttle down the air flow, because the single ply Type 1 bags were unable to handle the full air flow. Bag material and fill tubes have improved since then, however...

    Leave it to Beaver

    Who really cleans that I do Phillip Muller, I do. &#92 After three eye surgeries I was able to see clearly for the first time in my life. I just about killed myself cleaning things that I never knew was dirty. I discovered the "frosted" glass shelves in the bathroom, weren't frosted. The...

    More airflow tests.

    Filter(s) on GP I have had my Guardian Platinum for four years now. Though it receives light usage, I have never had to replace the filters. The cloth bags do a very good job of filtering, of course, mileage may vary as those that use in more dusty conditions may experience more frequent changes.

    Never thought I'd see the day . . .

    Thanks Patrick I actually didn't get one, I got two air revolve. One was a return, but when it arrived it was missing the hose and wands. The seller on ebay, refunded my money and told me to keep the rest. I was able to buy a brand new in box also on ebay. I haven't taken it out of the box...

    I don’t know which one to chose from!

    My advice: Pick your color, they are all identical internally. I have a preference towards the helping hand handle, but the picture does show a few lower end models in the back with the straight handle.

    Kirby Avalir 2?

    I think the ones in the know at Kirby remembers the Royal Powercast. People say they want new, and redesigned. But do they? Do they really . .

    Kirby Avalir 2?

    I agree with all of you As it has been discussed in perpetuity. Kirby doesn't make many drastic design changes, in fact they have only done it twice in 100 years. They do ongoing updates and changes from different models, and refresh with color changes, pretty much some on this site did not...
