Oops
I guess it's not, just the same color scheme as a HII.

Looks nice, but guess we're outta luck for a totally different Kirby. Just another boring color scheme change.

Wow! A shock to me!
Based on the publicity it was getting, I was expecting something a little more revolutionary! Maybe the tools have been revamped? The only thing that really looks different is the handle. I must admit, I do like the color scheme. Maybe they are doing small incrument improvements, and saving the new model for the REAL anniversary?

It all adds up.
When we were at Kirby this summer, the head engineer who gave the tour talked about design issues. One thing he said that struck me: whatever they do, the Kirby has to look like a Kirby, sound like a Kirby, and function like a Kirby.
Honestly I would have been surprised with some radical break in the basic design.
Look if someone wants a completely different approach to a vacuum cleaner, there are plenty of brands with their own identity, sort of. But some people will want a Kirby; and they have a base that is loyal. And there are many home situations where a Kirby provides an excellent cleaning system. To be sure lots of people buy a Kirby and then dump it for another machine soon after; it didn't suit them or their needs. But there are all kinds of people who like them, enjoy using them, like the attachments and feel like they're getting their money's worth in the long run. Otherwise Kirby would not be still in business as it's own company instead of being sold to somebody else to produce hybrid generic sort of non descript mostly plastic tools on board vacuum cleaners. But if that's what somebody really wants, there are plenty of colors to choose from out there at all kinds of price points. And really, most of them basically clean OK.
I would have been surprised if Kirby tried to replicate something you could find in a big discount store. Why bother with that?
I think it looks cool; I am interested to see what they did with the attachments and especially what the guys at the brush roll factory hinted about --some sort of floor scrubber/ hard floor cleaner??? It'll be interesting to see what's actually on this new machine.
But in the end, a Kirby is going to be...well, a Kirby!

It's simply the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.....YEAH!!!
I'm cuckoo for Kirby!!!

I'm sure kirbyloverdan is bent out of shape. Once again he didn't get his totally redesigned Kirby. For the rest of us loyal and true customers we have been spared any huge disapointments with the Kirby. The tried and true triumphs again.
