Totally impressed after using my Avalir shampooer for the first time today!
I have heavy gray carpet throughout my apartment and have used the Rug Doctor previously. Big difference! Rugs are look clean! No more traffic patterns!
Takes a bit of time to get the "hang of it." Lavender scent not too strong either! Greg
 
Nice

I have used my avalir shampooer a few times. It takes a couple passes to get shampoo distribution correct.
I liked how easy it is to use with water dump bin. It really cleans well too. It brings pile back yo life and carpet looks brand new. I too use lavender.

It does a good job, just takes a lot of prep work to set up the kit. I need to pull out my Ultimate G's shampoo kit again sometime.
 
The avalir does look way more improved than previous shampooers from Kirby.
But it really doesn't have any extraction. What do you say about the video results here?


 
Hey

You vacuum your carpet. Put in neutral highest carpet setting rotate belt lifter and take belt off.
Put carpet shampooer nozzle on and turn belt lifter attaching to spindle. Put tray on and waste tray. Put your cap or two of shampoo add water to line. Install resivoir to waste tray and attach tank to emtor and rotate. Make sure hoses are secure turn tank to desired setting and lower light hood and shampoo.
If you think any shampoo system is a little bit of a setup. I have a couple Bissell carpet shampooers and there alot more thorough than Kirby. They also shampoo carpet.
The only difference between avalir shampooer and prior years is waste tray all other connections are the same.
If I have really bad carpet I'm vacuuming with Kirby first. I'll use Bissell because it will get everything out of carpet. I'll let dry and vacuum again. I use Kirby so it doesn't get as bad to where I have to use Bissell.
If an animal is using it for a while and I didn't notice I have to use Bissell.

The Kirby shampooer system is just a surface cleaner, not a full suction extractor. It's meant to touch up and fluff carpets to counter the dirtyness in-between regular deep cleaning shampoos, or if you have thin pile carpet that doesn't need a deep cleaner.
 
good to hear and

your post is encouraging me to try my availir shampoer. I've only every used the old style Kirby ones....I Know, not a big difference at all, but want to try the new one on my wood flooring instead of my usual Rainbow Aquamate (which works wonderfully I"d say).
 
Aquamate

I have an aquamate haven't used it yet but Bissell symphony cleans and no wax residue better than anything we have tried. The oak is 13 years old and we used to strip wax polish twice a year. Four years ago we used symphony on it and it took all wax residue off and oak looks brand new. I'd recommend that I have not tried aquamate so I can't judge but a 12lb steam clean mop/vacuum is a helluva lot easier to move around and use over any rainbow or Kirby.

That's enough out of you. You make constant assumptions and come across as completely ignorant in most cases. I am HAPPY to be the one to tell you that.

The POS you are referring to was custom built from brand new parts as a proof of concept and is one of a kind.

The Magnesium you are referring to was a $700 vacuum (of which I own two) - never saw the "trash" and that TriStar would whoop your ass.

There is little if any spray paint on the Kirby. I do not know where you got that idea. That is hours of polishing and applications of layers silver buffed in to the plastic with custom pieces all over.

I am not even sure what a "troll" is but for you to call me that is offensive on the highest level. Especially coming from you, TROLL.

If anyone should stop posting it is you. sir. You have little if anything to offer. I have read - or TRIED to read- your posts and you simply have no idea of what you are saying the majority of the time though you love to say whatever comes to you little mind using whatever words you know whether they make sense or not.

I have kindly avoided this until now but YOU, sir, are the one that needs a hobby. In fact, I am an artist. In fact I do have an exhibit of art. I also have over 20 years of experience in the vacuum industry which has allowed me to be creative. I have sold my vacuums before and will sell these, too!

Shut your freaking hole. Stop posting your opinions. GET A LIFE and don't believe everything you know. Go back to school. Stop hijacking people's threads. Stop drinking or smoking whatever it is you are.

There are doctors out there that can help you. GO FIND ONE - STAT.

I realize this will likely get removed and perhaps me banned but it is quite worth it for me to let you know how most of us feel about you, damn it.

Once this is gone I will make another account just to come back and post this to you and bash anything you have to say about anyone else in the future.

GO TO BED. I am serious. You are the worst of the worst. Your insecurities are written all over your posts.

I have no respect for you.


No one who knows me would ever say something like that to me. YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE.

FUCK YOU LES, FROM ALL OF US.


Sincerely, Robert
