I do the Team cleaning approach now with one machine as the main driver. it was the way I was taught to clean. In commercial applications you have more people on site and can justify seperate machines for the various tasks. It is about time managment on the job and you don't do every job daily. Tasks are broken down to daily, weekly, monthly. With the economy the way it is you clean to remove obvious soiling. There are of course exceptions. Even in hospitals they don't clean every inch of the place daily. Common touch surfaces and Restrooms get the high priority after the operating rooms. Some of our difficulties at home are how we approach cleaning at home and what our perception of clean is. It is easy to do far more than is really needed. Depending on the size of a home or apt. Storage of additional equipment can be come an issue. Trying to keep things handy and easly stored.
Anyone have info on the new Kirby ?

We will have to wait...
until late 2013 for the new Kirby. I spoke with the local office and they say the factory has said unequivocally that there is no planned color change for the Sentria, that the current model and color scheme will be offered until the 100th anniversary model is out, which will make the Sentria the longest running model Kirby ever (it is already0
I don't know why a color change is such a big deal that they will not do it, but apparently they have their reasons.

Because it is
cheaper to leave it as is . Well that`s good new`s at least they will be bringing out the totally new redesigned Kirby . I`ve waited this long I will continue to buy all the other new models from all the other D2D Vacuum companies.

Me Too Kirby Lover Dan !
I will buy all the other DTD machines till the new kirby comes out. I wanted to get the new Rainbow, but I heard one run on you tube the other day and it was as noisy as my E2 2 speed is. So if they are that noisy I don't think I will be buying a new Rainbow because I don't like my Noisy E2 2 speed.... Dan

Hey Dan (Thermokid)
I just purchased the new Rainbow E2 Onyx and it is so much quieter than my E2 Gold.
It is well worth buying . I love my new Onyx .

New Kirby looking similar to the old ones.
Hoover 1 you are not alone in that thougth. I too would like to see the classic design stay on the market. Only time will tell what direction Kirby will take their design. From some of the drawings we have seen patents for it is anyone's guess.

I am up for any kind of design as long as they do not subtract metal and add more plastic. Keep them lasting a lifetime....
But..
Plastic is fine as long as its the super long lasting stuff. I see no issue in plastic if it is just as or more durable than metal. (and KIRBY claims theirs is more durable.) They have already been using plastic for the sentria basepan and shampooer head for a couple years now. As far as I know there have been no issues. The basepan being plastic subtracts 5 pounds (I think) from the machine, which is the only complaint I ever hear from people about KIRBYs. Everything depends on the plastic used, but I don't think KIRBY would remove all the metal from their machines.

I think the plastic is a problem with the newer machines--too much of it.Remember this is a high end machine not a WalMart special.I feel Kirby should put MORE metal into the machines-not less.Esp the fan.and for folks who are enviorenment types-the metal is more freindly.It is more easily recycled.Plastic of just about any type is more likely to fill the landfill.Plastic tends to deteriate more than metal from age.
