When an outgoing Kirby model has its parts changed entirely like this, where every part from the then-current new model is installed to make the old model look identical to the newest model, would that be considered fraud? Who would be doing it? A vacuum store or a salesman's office trying to move old inventory out and pass it off as the newest model? I've encountered a few like this for various models. I just classify them as "clones" but I always wondered why it was done. It's a ton of work to do, and deliberate, so it isn't just parts being replaced as they break. I can't imagine the everyday vacuum owner ever noticing that their "new" Kirby is actually the past model with new model parts on it, since they usually all look identical after all.
