I will give an update on my X4 repair, but I did get to try the Dart, Softcase, and Felix. The Softcase was nice to use, and the display wasn’t overly loud. The dealer told me that they had several Softcases that were overly loud. I think that if they added a longer cord and a handle power switch, it wouldn’t be a bad choice. I prefer my Healthcare pro to the Dart, the Dart did not feel as smooth in operation. I also did not care for the Felix’s swivel steering, it felt too loose for the amount of movement. The dealer had some refurbished Kirbys, g6 and Avilir 1. They wanted $600 for the Avilir and $200 for a g6 with the worst oxidation I’ve seen. I would definitely satay with eBay or other methods for Kirbys.
 
I have 8 kirbys and have learned that, if you want to polish them, you use 0000 steel wool and autosol aluminium polish before using mothers mag and aluminium polish. Then if you want to really finish it properly, use a bit of denim, microfiber or leather with some water using the mothers product. I then use a damp rag to polish it off. That is if you want a kirby though. If you try a kirby the techdrive CAN be tuned to be easier to push and pull.
