Kirby Avalir actually Sentria G10E?

[richardc1983]

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.

Yes the my Avalir says the same maybe they had some left over sentria power plants and used them I could be very wrong but what I think

Thats because the sentria and avalir are basically the same machine. The only real difference is the color scheme and pattern scheme and the name. Otherwise its the same machine that weve had for almost 18 years, on a platform that we've had for almost 34 years. Both sentria and avalir use the same motor, as does all other kirby's, same headlights,same power nozzle belt lifter, and so on. In fact I'm curious to why kirby went back with the plastic belt lifter on the avalir 2 instead of using the chrome one that they've been using since 2006 (original sentria).

I’m really curious to see their next model

Does anyone think the sentria/avalir are a better machine than say the diamond ultimate g?

The

Armature is upgraded to spin at a higher rom at the same voltage. The transmission has a few upgrades as well.

The belt lifter on the Sentrias are plastic as well. They’re just a shiny plastic that’s made to look chrome.

Kirby is proof positive that the more things change, the more they stay the same. And that's not always a bad thing.
