I bought an Avalir 2 :)

[mpbyrd]

So today I was gonna stop and buy an Avalir 1 but I decided on the Avalir 2. I was unsure about the bag at first but it looks better to me in person. I love this machine and this is my first brand new Kirby purchase. It has a lifetime motor warranty and 3 years on everything else. The handle design is much better to me than my sentria 2. I think that is the biggest improvement overall.

very nice machine. From what I've read online its appearantly quieter than the previous model, is this true? Also can you post pics of what the attachments look like as well as the shampooer

thanks

The upgraded shampooer

That’s one reason I got it. It’s a much better design in my opinion and I like the dry foam system. I will post more pics on Thursday.

I do like the handle

Can you post a video of it ?I'm curious what it sounds like. There was a rumor going around that they were going to put a brushless motor in that can you confirm or deny that?

 

[mpbyrd]

It sounds almost identical to my sentria 2

I do not believe they put a brushless motor in it. It Still has the classic Kirby sound. I will post a video Thursday.

The handle design really does create a better feel than my previous Kirby’s. It also seems to be more sturdy than previous models.

The Avalir 2 DOES NOT have a brushless motor.

Well...

I would rather replace carbon brushes any day that have to buy a circuit board that cost hundreds of dollars...

carbon brushes vs. circuit boards...

Agreed. Carbon brushes = self-destruct systems.

Im not sure how to post video links here...

It really is so gorgeous! OMG! What a machine!!

Somebody was saying that that came with a new style bare floor vacuum tool but that looks like the same old one they've been selling for years.

Can you confirm or deny that?

Same old, cheap, plastic combo floor tool
