Kirby Avalir Unveiling Video......

[kirbymodel2c]

Hi,

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Calem your welcome, It's great Kirby still continues on with it's high <a name="start_27689.309600"></a>quality, performance and reliability why still evolving forward. It's also great how versatile it is compared to others on the market. It's good to stand out on the market and not blend in with the others as some would want it too. There's far more upsides than downsides. Their doing lots of things right when you think how long they've been going and they are still one of the biggest if not the biggest high end vacuum companies around.

Interesting video-the salesrep that is providing me with my Avalir went to this.Besides the new Kirby--they now have new "sing-along" songs for Kirby Door knocking van campaigns.The Kirbys lowered from the ceiling-kinda kool.Keep in mind--Are these special "Stunt Kirbys"?Were are trained professional stunt rigging Kirbys-Please don't do that at home!My rep is supposed to call me after Christmas and tell me when the new Avalirs will be available.

I can't agree with you Chris. I can clean my home as quick, if not quicker with my Sentria than when I used to clean it with my Hoover Windtunnel. The Kirby Sentria has better airflow and suction so I don't need to make as many passes as I did with the Windtunnel.


 


I can convert from upright to canister mode in about 30 seconds. I do all my above floor cleaning first, then quickly convert to upright mode for all my carpet. It's no Big Deal!!!

Well James, you know what we all say about the truth....It shall set you free....Kirby free that is!!!

 Most other vacuums can't even hold a candle to THE KIRBY. But, would we really want a plasticVac to attempt such folly? The answer, of course, would be a resounding NOOOOOO!!! Because if it did, it would most probably burst into toxic flames, which would quickly consume the dirt it left on the floor!!!


 


sptyks, I couldn't agree with you more! Why, Kirby attachments are so well designed, that even a child can master it....Pure Kirb-plicity at its best!

I think that if kirby wanted to totally have a machine for everyone that they should make the typical larger second gen, ( classic,tradition,heritage) G3 sized vacuums like they have been and also carry a non tech drive updated dual sanitronic sized vacuum that both have great air flow and carpet cleaning so larger homes could have a kirby and smaller home and homes with people that can't use a larger kirby could have a smaller version. Anyone else think that could be a beneficial move from kirby?

Machine nice / function attendants: get some straighjackets

Nice video of the machine details.
Looks way nicer than I expected it to be, looks a tad less overhauled or "totally reworked" than announced.

But I am not referring to the machine, I mean the video of the announcement meeting: Gives me the creeps.
I totally agree with Chris: Overly loud, excessive and "...like a rock concert" etc.
Even if it IS an internal sales rep congregation, it still is WAAAAAY over the top.

If this was shown to me (let's say on a first day after a job interview), I would probably call the cops to check them all for drugs or mass-order some couple of hundreds of straitjackets.

Stan's answer "mean streak... /not anything WE could do to ...change HIS attitude" tells me the rest: He does not directly talk to Chris, but turns sideways to fellow fans and believers. Like: Here that is us, the "family", there the so-called "outer world /them" (and therefor "unknowing laymen" probably...).
(which has nothing to do with Stan or Chris of course, I am just referring to that pattern of communication).

My point about the Kirby release party:
This hypertensional yeehaah-whoaah frenzy, the whole meeting, the vacuums coming down from the ceiling like Tom Cruise on a safety rope...
THAT is supposed to come from company? No way.
I cannot take anything of it seriously at all.

Even for the most important business meetings and best technical progress conveivable, I might even imagine some minutes of applause and praising words on the microphone - but not like this here.

What I see (and even worse: must hear!) in this video leaves me speechless.
What stuff ARE they on?

*turning my index finger next to my temples here*

I'm sorry, I thought we were all talking about these peoples' bread and butter, you know, their livelihood! I think if anybody with an inkling of common rational, or is that being too lucid, would believe they had better get excited about it and fast, or as the song goes,  " Hit the road jack...don't you come back no more, no more, no more!"  And they all go crying to the poor house together, as some should suppose, of course, I'm just postulating...but just maybe.

Hooverkid,

I have always thought that! They really should make a smaller 500 series remake. I think that something like that would do really well.

As for the video, why not go a little bit over the top? They make some of the best vacuums available today AND a company only has one 100th anniversary. To me, it seems like a great excuse to have a swanky party/product release. Product releases don't always have to be speeches & slide shows.
