What BRAND NEW vacuum do you want?

[countryguy]

jfalberti,

I have a UG DE also. I am confused as to what you mean by 'this in effect made it a four speed machine' when there are only 2 speeds?

I will put it this way , I have both in my collection and the ultimate g just feels better made, it looks better too. 


 


There has to be a reason that my back room is filled with sentria trade inns and not ultimate g's or other Kirby models. If I look on ebay here in SA or gumtree all you see are sentria's for sale , Got to ask the question why ?

 

[jfalberti]

Well Gary,

The normal Kirby is a two speed machine.  Speed is determined by the attachment mounted on the front (High for canister mode, low for everything else).  When the switch on the UG DE is set to low,  then I believe the attachment switch on the front of the machine would operate at the lower power providing lower speeds for tools and rug nozzle, etc.  At least that is the way it was explained to me when I questioned it.  I could be wrong.  If I am, I would certainly appreciate it if someone would set me straight.

 

[countryguy]

I still only see it as having 2 speeds. When I attach the hose, I can operate it at high or low speed just the same as when the rug nozzle is attached.

Hey Gary,


 


I've fired off an email to Kirby inquiring about it.  It'll be interesting to see what they respond with, that is if they respond..  Let's see if they answer.  With all the info they wanted to submit a question, I bet I'll be getting a visit from the local Kirby dealer real soon.

Kirby Diamond has

Two speeds ONLY .

The switch was removed because people left it on low and complained it wasn`t cleaning properly and would bring it in for repair .

It never burned the motor out . I prefer the switch for delicate carpets but love my Sentria equally .

Sebo D4 commercial for me

 

[sebo_fan]

I like the D4 Commercial in some ways, manually winding up all that cable however is off putting. May as well buy a Henry for that process then! 

 

[ryry_87]

less to go wrong though I spose, I prefer the idea of a 1200w motor too lol

Question on a note, will a simplicity syncronys'/riccar brilliances' brushroll fit a simplicty synergy/riccar radiance? That will help me personally decide between the syncrony or the synergy. I'd also get a royal everlast metal upright model mry8300.

Hoover Platinum

Big Lots here has them re manufactured from the factory for $99.

Kirby generation speeds

There was also a little known and rarely seen option for Generations that was a hose end on which the tab that pushes 2 speed switch on front could be moved up & down to choose hi or lo for hose cleaning.So would this make it a 5 speed or 6 speed?!?

 

[kirbyvertibles]

I would like to have a new Vortech or a new Oasis, or maybe new Rainbow

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Joe!

That's a great price for that Platinum. I have one. (Big surprise)Only, I HATE te fact that the handle release is on the RIGHT (not correct) side of the base. tsk, tsk.

I'vw been Naughty........

Well... Further to my comment earlier in this thread. As its the Queens Diamond Jubilee here in the UK, I thought this Queen deserved a gift too....

Its a 2008 Model I picked up for a snip of a price.. This has been virtually unused and the previous owners (once they said, and I can believe it. No wear on the brush roll at all and totally clean). They even treated themselves to a brand new Zip Brush earlier this year and didn't even use it. Even has 2 hoses and the Handy Butler (Unsealed)..

I'm a happy bunny.... Happy Diamond Jubilee to Me!!!!
