The Kirby Sentria II

You get to see it before the Distributor's Meeting tomorrow in Cleveland.

I have searched all over and haven't found anything said about this model yet.

I don't have pictures of the back yet. The on / OFF switch is that same blue as the handle.

Pics of Shampooer and Accessories coming soon.
 
Kirby's have looked pretty much the same since 1990. all they do is change the trim, the bag, and then also the small improvments that were introduced late in the sentria era. (smaller mini emtor, third handle lock, F-Style Bag System etc.)

And as for the Tech drive, it is also blue and grey like you said adambomb
 
I think

they should have come out with the color change when they introduced the Style F bag because people buy the wrong bags all the time for their Sentria and a color change would have helped or even a name change.
 
Eh

I was hoping they would have done a complete color change instead of just the bag the grey was fine for a while but i think it's been overdone now a change to the trim would have been nice
 
Don't know how this is ....

Going to increase their sales. All a Sentria owner has to do is buy the new bag, and the blue handle carrier and possibly the cord has a little blue in it as well, can't tell. Can't tell if that is gold or brown by the picture, but again they used gray with it......


Sincerely,

Bud Mattingly

Thanks for the pictures, I do appreciate that....
 
Oh, please....

SEVEN YEARS FOR THIS!!!????   This is all they could come up with? All they could do? The best they could muster?


It still weighs over 20 lbs. It still does not have on board tools. Every day at least 5,000 people turn age 65 in this country. What happens when people turn 65? They retire. They downsize. They tend to be more cautious about spending money. The population that has made Kirby what it is is getting greyer, less mobile, more frugal, and moving into smaller living spaces.  If the anniversary model is introduced after only one year, that means OVER 18 MILLION PEOPLE WILL HAVE TURNED AGE 65.


I don't know what Kirby is thinking, but they are not thinking much.
 
love Alex's cartoon ;-)

So true! Exactly what I was thinking.

Well here we go: Years of hushed-up "hard thinking" and what do we see? Some Jetsons' family 60s fabric pattern (any arbitrary print design apprentice could have done the job just the same).

Rumors are going: "oh but that is not even a fraction of what is coming!" Aha. So what.

Trebor, you are so right. What will be Kirby's future audience?
It's the Sentria II-shrug-it-off to me...
 
It looks as if Kirby tried to copy Rainbow with the whole "action parts" thing. If you look closely, you can see that the Bag Release Button, Handle Tilt Latch, and carry handle are blue, just like when Rainbow made the latches for the Water Basin grey.
