Can you share what you've heard of about this supposably new model? if anything at all.




If kirby does release a new model, let alone a new platform I do hope they bring back the video owners manual. When they did away with that and made those short clips videos I thought those were pointless and useless. I like the video manuals better.

All I’ve heard is that it’ll be an all new model that will be different than the G series. That it’ll be what the next several models in the coming years will be based off of. I’ve also read something about there being long lasting cogged belts and such. If all this is indeed true, I’m very interested to see how it’ll be.
 
Interesting! Although yikes about the cogged belts, jam the roller once even for a couple seconds and either the motor jams up or the belt is destroyed. I'd like to see something like Kenmore's powerhead belts, which have vertical grooves. That way if it jams, it will take a lot longer to burn out than a flat one.
 
This is very interesting. Can someone explain to me what a cogged belt is? I also do hope they reworked the accessories, especially the shampoo system. I say that because it’s to wide and bulky to get into hard to reach spaces with, especially the avalir version. I also do hope they work on the acoustics because Kirby’s are way too loud, especially in canister mode. With this news getting out, I do hope they “launch” it soon.
 
Interesting. Now im curious to when they’ll launch this supposedly new model. I say that because avalir 2 (really sentria 4) has been out for almost 4 years now. I believe next month will mark the 4 year anniversary. I also do wonder how Kirby plans on launching this new model.
 
The real question is when? I mean if word is already getting out about it then they might wanna do something soon. Yeah but when kirby launches a new model their kind of hush hush about it till it gets out on the web. Hell thats how I found out about the avalir 2, which was on here. The same can be said about the avalir and sentria 2. When I found out about the original sentria it was via ebay back in 2006 when it had first launched. The point I'm trying to make is that kirby doesn't really do any launch type videos and pics and if they do its typically for some sort of event. Granted if this is supposably a new platform/design then yeah I can see them doing some sort of launch video. Granted they might do what they did with the G3 and show a short lauch clip within the owners manual video (Hopefully they'll have one for this model). Hopefully this model will address the following things that I would like to see:
1. ditch the sentria look
2. reduce the acoustics
3. scale down the size of the shampoo system.
4. scale down the weight, because it will be benefitcal if using it in the portable mode.
5. no more black, or grey color schemes
6. launch new optional accessories and make em stick around (in reference to them getting rid of the sentria handi butler not even a year after it was launch)
7. Bring back the videos owner manual, but take time mentioning things and not rushing through it (referring to both sentria 2 and the avalir's videos manual.
 
Another thought for a new Kirby-----Go CORDLESS-with modern battery and motor tech this could be possible!I am also for the return of the video manual on a DVD-just about everybody has a DVD player of some sort or one in their computers.Also in the DVD-DITCH the ugly furnishings you see in the last one Kirby made.If SkilSaw can make a cordless battery powered worm drive circular saw-I think a similar motor could be used in a vacuum.The Skil brushless motor can develop over 1800W-more than the plug in model.!!!The saw runs from a special 48V lithium battery.Indeed the saw is a BEAST!!!Have one!
 
Or…..

We can all just sit on our hands and wait patiently….
There’s nothing worse than no “spoiler alert” over a newly anticipated vacuum model. [this post was last edited: 1/10/2022-20:30]
 
I'm just ready for something new. I mean we've basically had the same machine for 16 years with a differnt color scheme and or different name and the more and more we have of it, the less interest people will have in it and the more likly they'll end up in pawn shops or online selling sites for pennies on the dollar. And the platform itslef is going to be 32 this year. I can't understand why now they decided to finally release a new platform, if this is true. I mean I can see them doing it in 2020 starting a new decade with a new platform, like what they did with the G3 back in 90. I can also see the pandemic also playing into a factor for why they haven't launched it. However we're still in a pademic and its not getting any better. I'm also intrested in what new attachments and or optional accessories that they have coming out for future models. I truly do hope with modern technology and online forums, that kirby, themselves, looks online and sees what people are saying about their current G-series machine and how they can improve on them. Because I know for quite of bit of times that I've mentioned what should be changed and or added. I do hope somehow or someone in that group post something soon.
 
does anyone in that facebook group actually work for kirby.



Another thing Id like to see this year but from Rexair is a redesign rainjet. Potentially motorized, with a spinning brush and a bigger solution container for both the minijet and rainjet.
 
With Warren Buffet ditching Kirby and the door to door sales method, I'll bet real money there is No New Kirby coming out. Where would the millions and millions of dollars to tool up for a new model come from? They can barely sell the ones they have now. Your doorbell rings and two masked strangers are standing on your porch in the middle of a terrible pandemic, wanting entrance to your home and access to your family. To sell you an overpriced dud of a vacuum cleaner. WAY overpriced dud. Who allows that today?

Most people who clean their homes today want a cordless stick vac they hang on the wall. "Old fashioned" machines and cleaning ideas are long dead. Young and old alike want light weight stick vacs. Just ask them. That's what they're buying.
 
I bet Kirby will keep making the G series for as long as they want to I remember when the avalir was about to launch and some of us got very excited because we thought it was going to completely new but it was just another boring G series I think there’s never going to be a completely new Kirby
 
I mean if they keep the G series that’s fine (not really). But change somethings up on it, that way it doesn’t keep looking like a recolored sentria. By that I mean change the shape of the belt lifter and change the headlight hood.
 
Just some things that I'd like to add

Reply #8, I also agree with you as well. Hopefully we'd see an upgrade with settling down odors coming out of bagged portable vacuums (That's usually not a problem with central vacuums). I love certain vacuums like the Hoover Concept Two or the Royal Everlast 8300 for example that uses scent doors that makes the vacuums smell fresh as you're vacuuming. I also like the scent tabs that you can always swap out for another when they wear out like the Oreck ones for example. And I did liked the smell of Febreze bags, but unfortunately I find that not only the smell doesn't last for very long but also the bags filter terribly as well.

Reply #23, actually NaceCare did used to distribute some upright vacuums here before. It looks like they don't anymore or at least not now. Not to mention that they even used to use Sebo powerheads before as well or at least not now either. This is what one of their upright vacuums looks like: https://www.amazon.com/NaceCare-Motor-Upright-Vacuum-Capacity/dp/B00CT9JSNA

And finally, I think I agree with Tom here. I don't think a new Kirby would come anytime soon. Plus, I'm totally alright with the current Kirby design. I honestly don't think that they need to change anytime soon. And with reviews like these, I think the Avalir 2 still meets up with today's standards that consumers would like to have from a vacuum cleaner. Though if there's one thing that I'd like to see Kirby do, I hope that they can bring back the Vacuette handheld vacuum.

Here's my thoughts. If rexair can redesign the E-series and come out with the SRX platform, then who's to say that Kirby can't redesign the G-series and come out with something new. The G-series, in my opinion, is beyond its experation date to the point where we can go to our local pawn shops and online sites and get them for pennies on the dollar, but yet kirby doesn't seem to realize it and they still continue to make G-series machines. Say a dealer goes to a home that already owns a kirby (more specifically a G-series) and the dealer tries and sell an avalir 2. Those people aren't going to really wanna buy it since its not much different than the machine they already have. My point is, if kirby is going to come up with a new model they better do it in the near future, especially with how modern technology plays into how we clean our homes these days. Don't get me wrong the G-series is a great kirby platform but it needs a lot of modification, which I've mentioned numerous times. Also the G-series isn't all that user friendly for people who are elderly. I just hope something happens soon because I'm tired of seeing the same recolored 2006 modeled getting minor changes here and there and then getting relaunched as a new model when reality its just a 2006 sentria changed up a bit. And if you really wanna get technical its just a recolored and renamed 1990s G3.
 
Any word on this supposably new kirby? Also I looked through the fb group to see where it was mentioned and I couldn't find out whom was posting about it.
 
Okay this sounds very exciting but iv got a very very bad feeling that this is all made up to get us very excited about another colour change but if this pilot model does come out il be over the moon
 
Idk why he’s referring it as a pilot model, especially since it’ll be considered next gen, if that. I kind of believe it because most of the time Kirby does release a new model in June, primarily with the sentria in June of 2006 and the sentria 2 in June 2012. However I don’t see the potential for onboard tools as that kind of defeats the purpose of the Kirby with its multi purpose power plant. As well as controls at the handle. Then how would it be converted to a portable cleaner, which I’m sure people don’t use it as that anymore due to its heavy weight. Also it’ll just make it a little more heavier than what it’s already. That’s the part I have doubt on.

My question for the community is, is he a reliable source and if he is, are his sources reliable. I tried finding this post in the group but couldn’t find it.

I definitely would like to see Bissell sell the BG1000 under the Sanitaire brand. Sanitaire used to have Aerus make the SC6600 and SC6610 for them, I thought it was a business mistake to discontinue them because they were in my opinion one of the best Sanitaires ever sold. But now that Bissell sells the clone of the Aerus under the Big Green commercial line, I hope they would also get to sell it under the Sanitaire brand as well.
