That is the single most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my life. People are cheering like they're at some kind of rock concert. It's a vacuum cleaner launch, for gods sake!! And the re-written versions of "My Sharona"? Yikes. Talk about blowing your own trumpet.

A big deal to who? Members of this forum aside, I doubt anybody really cares. IT'S. A. VACUUM.

It's a good thing when the sales force get excited about a new product.</span>

Chris: don't you understand what's going on here? I doubt it.
This event was not open to the general public. Everyone in attendance was either the owner of a Kirby Distributorship or a door to door Kirby salesman. The purpose of this convention was a pep rally to introduce the audience to the new machine and get them pumped up to go out and sell sell sell this new Kirby door to door as this is the only way Kirbys are sold.
George: The new Avalir will go on sale as soon as the current stock of Sentria II's has been sold out. I'm guessing that sales of the Avalir will start sometime around mid January to early February. But that's only an educated guess. No one knows for sure.

I fully understand what's going on. I still think it's ridiculously overindulgent and overblown. I recently went to a conference with work regarding a new client - we were screaming like teenagers at a One Direction concert? No! There was a round of applaws, yes, but at the end of the day, it's just work.

Nah, being totally honest James, I'd be the first person to tell them to get a life and the last person to be screaming and cheering about it. I'd be interested and excited about it, yes, but not to the extent that I'd be screaming like a girl at it

James,
Chris just has a mean streak against Kirby.
I don't think there's anything we could say to change his attitude toward Kirby.

It might not just be a "mean streak" against Kirby. Some of us just don't care much for them. I've owned and used one for almost 16 years. I won't buy another. There is hardly anything "new" about it. Kirby vacuums are loud, heavy, cumbersome, and bulky. I see nothing truly "new" about it... Kirby is selling a machine of 1950's engineering. Until they can make it less bulky, loud, and hard to use I won't buy another. I value quieter machines and ease of use. I have no doubts about Kirby being able to clean well but they aren't the ONLY way to clean a home. I prefer canisters anyway...
But I hope Kirby fans love it.

Electromatik: Why do you say the new Kirby Avalir is using technology from the 1950's?
Nothing could be further from the truth!

Noooooo no no no no. Absolutely not. The Kirby is a great vacuum and under the right circumstances I'd highly recommend them. However I am realistic about it and I know that they're not perfect. I wouldn't ever buy one new. They're just not worth the retail price. They're excessive in every way - excessively large, excessively loud, excessively heavy, excessively fiddly, time consuming etc etc. Their whole launch event from this clip looks completely excessive, unnecessary and overindulgent. They're outdated design and sales technique does them no favours.
So whilst I do think they're great performers, I don't for second think that it's without its flaws. With that in mind, no vacuum is. It's all about finding what works best for you and a Kirby would just not be practical in our house. No 1 vacuum is perfect and will suit everyone, it's all about finding what is best for you. This is why I would always encourage someone to try a vacuum before buying one, where possible. Especially a Kirby as, these days, they're so different to anything else on the market, to go from say a Dyson or a Miele or a Sebo to a Kirby is a hell of an adjustment.

Anyone else think the pre "ball" Dysons had better Bin/Cyclone designs?
