    Kirby Avalir actually Sentria G10E?

    Hey all, See pics attached. Looking at this on local pages, says it's a Sentria but the design is the Avalir. The data plate underneath says it's a Sentria G10E? Also does there look to be a crack in the fan casing underneath the machine.

    Which Dyson to buy? DC07, DC14, DC27 or DC33
