The G5 is a phenomenal vacuum. Kirbys are remnants of a dying breed of ultra high quality, ultra long lasting, extremely powerful vacuum cleaners. I don't care much for a lot of the accessories in that they simply don't do the job their intended to do as well as they should for the price. I currently have a 515, Dual Sanitronic 50, Classic Omega, Classic III, G4, G5, G6, and my favorite "Prometheus" the Heritage G Prototype. Safe to say, I'm a bit of a fan.
