Potential New Kirby Vacuum Model Discussion

I don’t see how Kirby is making anything at the moment because Cleveland wood products is not producing any brush rollers for anyone. CWP was sold off by Right Lane Industries.
 
god forbid avalir 2 is like sentria 1, 6 years in the production line. I mean hey its already been out for 4.5 years, mines well keep it going. (not really wanting that)
 
Well…

Here we are in 2024, still no new Kirby. The Avalir 2 has now been out for the amount of time the Sentria was out for (six years). But this year being the 110th Anniversary of Kirby, I wonder what they'll do for that? I think they’ll either make a 110th Anniversary Edition Avalir 2, or finally release a new model. And mark that an anniversary edition, before going to a non anniversary version in 2025. Only time will tell.
 
Agreed

Yeah its been way to long for the avalir 2 to be in production. Even people are commenting on kirby's facebook page saying things like its time to release a new model, which people aren't wrong. I've given up on kirby a long time ago in terms of modernizing and tweaking their design model. I'm sure they can and probably redisign a 34 (way to long) platform thats older than some of us that way it can appeal to people of younger generations but still apeal to consumers of older generations. The problem that kirby faces is companies like dyson and hoover who are making pretty good, at lease in my opinions, cordless cleaning products that work as efficient or even better than a 1990s kirby platform with modern cosmetics.
 
Maybe

Alpha and omega. alpha is the beginning and they've mDe omega.
I'd like to see a straight suction vacuum with a bypass motor and hepa filters
 
With the current cost of any capital investments, not sure why they would do anything at the moment.
Anniversary or not, it makes no sense for companies to make any “major” changes. It’s why you see a lot of companies rehashing old products as new again.
 
Every

Model is some sort of anniversary. Avalir ultimate g series
Black and yellow.
It will have a special 105 on the vacuum handle.
 
I do hope kirby does away with the black color scheme with accent colors. If we really want to get technical, avalir 2 really isn't a "color" change let alone a pattern change compare from when kirby went from the sentria to the sentria 2. That alone was a different color and pattern scheme. As with the transition of the original avalir (sentria 3)and the"current" avalir 2 (sentria 4, at this point) they both shared the same main color (black) and changed the accent colors from red to blue and still kept the same pattern. I've kind of given up at this point on a new kirby system coming out. I'm suprised that the avalir 2 is still selling, even 6 years later. I mean how much longer can Kirby even keep using the sales model? As far as I know, both the sentria and avalir 2 are the longest kirby's to ever be in production. I do think us comsumers are ready for a new model. I say this because people on facebook will be commenting on their post and basically ask when a new model is coming. Me personally would like a baby blue color kirby with white accent parts and a much quieter machine.
