New Filter Queen color design
Well I agree with what has been said about the Filter Queen. I have a very nice dark brown & chrome Filter Queen that came from a friend in the vac club. I love the machine but it's just too heavy and the caster set catches on all my rug edges in use.
The new style tools look cheaper and less distinctive and with no direct connect hose,no light on the power nozzle and the new cheaper looking power switch on top really doesn't make me want to buy a new one although the new design on the dirt container looks nice. I also have noticed the power cord on my machine is too short and it is not the cord winder model.It looks like they are not offering as standard equipment the S wands with the regular carpet and felt floor duster which you would think would be a strong selling point with customers using more hardwood floors today.
Almost like the new Lux Guardian. They went backwards by removing the 3 speed motor control,covered tool storage,shorter power cord,old style cord winder,smaller bag capacity,louder motor,no more flip over rug and floor tool. It looks like the Lux 2100 I bought on QVC for $349.00 years ago.
I sure hope Kirby does not go in this direction with the new model.
