New Kirby model !!

[juju93]

I wonder if anyone in the company let alone right lane industries reads these blogs and think to themselves, “damn these people are right”. I’m curious to see how long and how well this system will sell. This along with the other avalir models are the joke models. I’m curious to see how distributors who still do in home demos are going to sell it to people who already own the prior versions of the avalir. That’s gonna be a downfall for them. I also see the inflated prices on Kirby’s website for the avalir 2 and its different package offerings and the prices are definitely much higher compare to what they use to cost. I know inflation cost things to have gone up but the cost of it currently for either package set up is insane. I mean unless that’s including the cost of shipping it as well. I mean I know door to door people hiked it up back in the day because they were adding their commissions on top of the cost, but buying it online, has me wondering if their adding the cost of shipping built into the “retail price”.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!111!!

I've just received word from Kirby themselves. They say in 87 years they're gonna make the Avalir '87 edition. Here's a pre-production picture. You could say that the Avalir tooling "always comes back."

You see I actually quite like that if they just got rid of the boring black colour scheme and did something like that I would probably get one

Well, here ya' go.

 

[kirbyg6]

It just looks so coool in my opinion

 

[kirbyg6]

I’m already looking forward to seeing the next one lol

Hey, Right Lane Industries - if you're reading this, take note:

When you get LONG discussions on a vacuum collector forum and people mocking and ridiculing your present design by colouring in and making fun of current promotional photos, or you see mocking cartoons or drawings - it's time to design and bring out a new model

HAHAHAHA!

What really gets me is that this model was patented back in 2020 according to the owners manual and well right lane industries didn’t acquire Kirby till 2021. So under Scott fetzer this model name was patented. It’s also funny how they did away with mentioning other products like bags, shampoo and other solutions like they’ve done towards the last few pages the manual. I’m curious to see if they’ll update the how to videos on the site/youtube. They can only milk the black color scheme for so long before the have to move onto a new color.

Maybe they call themselves "Right Lane Industries" because they're stuck going 55 in the slow lane when the rest of the industry is going 90 in the left lane with spectacular advancements.

I have the Avalir Second Generation Black and Blue and I love it. I use it pretty often, but still revert back to my Rainbow or Aerus Classic. But they still can't make any improvements. At least with Rainbow they find ways to improve the model.

 

[kirbyg6]

It just seems like Kirby is only bothered about the colour not the actual machine it’s self yes the avalir had a new handle and shampooer but that’s what have improved over the last 10 years absolutely nothing

Still not a fan it just looks to plain and boring nothing exciting about it

 

[dysonman1]

The Kirby salesman in our area has the Platinum model, and has sold a fair number already. I actually like it better than the Avalir 2, with its big bruise "K" on the bag. I noticed Kirby is not a division of Scott and Fetzer but rather Kirby Operating Company LLC.

 

[kirbyg6]

Hi dysonman1 yeah I agree I think someone must of been having a bad day or totally drunk when they thought that was a good idea I think the bag is my favourite bit about the new model I just find the rest of it boring

 

[KirbyCollector01]

I genuinely like the way the Avalir Platinum looks. The bag looks cool. The grey zip tie around the emtor looks good. It does look very nice, despite being another minor color change. I prefer the gorgeous Electric Blue on the Avalir 2, but I like the bag design on the platinum a lot better.

 

[lesinutah]

Thats

Nothing did you see the avalir x has purple zip tie.

 

[juju93]

I'm more hyped for the dyson wash g1 than a kirby at this point.... and its more useful than a kirby.

 

[kirbyg6]

I like the Dyson wash G1 but how is it more useful than a Kirby
