Les,

That is awesome you have some good use for your Kirby Avalir. And I also praise you for having come across those good-looking Rug Renovators for your machines!

I do have to agree with you about the original Classic III bag cloth. Over time, the fibers in the cloth deteriorate, which then allow dust to escape into the air. You are correct that my Classic III is wearing the Legend II's Mini Emtor assembly. I initially tried that inspired by other Kirby owners, as a means of reducing pollen in the air (there had been disposable bag conversions available for Kirbys in the past, as far back as the 1950s/'60s, which took the same kind of disposable bags as the Eureka [types F and G] and Royal [type A] uprights, but those ones had actually [and significantly] reduced performance). The Micron Magic brown disposable bags are strong enough, but the polypropylene disposable bags used since the Sentria, I've read, are even better.

Hey
I use the original emtor. I put a Lexan plate on emtor using 2.75 inch tube and use sentria 2 f bag adaptor. I used the new green writing on the bags. I like the emtor on tradition and classic where you can open the bottom getting out bigger items. It's basically Kirby's best filter system on the machine.
I may get to either classic or tradition this weekend and show pics.
I have tested f@g shakeout etc. Empty shakeout and newest Kirby bags offered highest airflow.
