Kirby G3 brush

[logdog]

Hi all I have a Kirby G3 just sitting in my closet as I bought it and have not done anything with it yet. I wondered, as I need a new brush roll, if I should get the pet brush roll or the normal one for the G3. I do have a short haired dog but it seems the normal brush does fine. Any reason to get one over the other?

Thanks,
Logan

The

pet owner brushroll has stiffer bristles and it deep cleans better!

As for bags what kind should I get? Kirby cloth or do the generic Envyrocare do the same job?

Thanks

Great place to buy bags online is kirbyneeds.com (ebay store). There is a minor price difference between the Micron Magic and cloth bags. Currently I am using the Micron Magic and have vacuumed drywall dust and fine cement dust and I do believe it captures it just fine as the inside of the cloth bag is still perfectly clean. I have a pack of cloth bags that I have not used yet, so I can't really compare the difference when it comes to suction.

Since..

you have a dog, I'd recommend the best cloth bags. They will hold more pet hair and stop all the odors.

The cloth HEPA bags hold more and maintain airflow much better than the paper MicronMagic bags. As for odors, I think the cloth bag will help reduce the odor while also allowing you to clean longer with the same vacuum bag, which equals fewer bag changes. Nothing will elimate the "dog" smell completely but every little bit counts. I've never used generic bags for any Kirby vacuum I've ever owned so I can't say how they preform but I've been so happy with the genuine bags I never thought about trying anything else

My Diamond Edition and Ultimate-G have the newest style brush roll with the staggered bristles and I think it cleans much better than any of the previous styles. I haven't used the pet owners brush roll as my machines do just fine removing the white cat hair from my carpets, if you have a large dog then it might be worth for you
