I agree with you. If its not quieter then I'm not interested. Thats a big turn off with kirby's in general is how loud they are. We as consumers or just people in general associate sound with power. The louder the machine, the more powerful it is, an now in days thats not true. Quieter machines are just as powerful if not more powerful than really loud machines.


I do hope for the love of God its not another shade of grey or black. I hope they come out with a color scheme/pattern scheme that is going to grab consumers interest.
 
@kirbycollector

Where did you see this? Because I didn't see anything posted in the kirby facebook group about this. Also this makes me wonder what the MRSP for this system is going to be. Also I wonder if kirby is going to release any new optional accessories. I say this because they can go beyond the MS3, Turbo Accessory and Zippbrush. I would include the tile and grout brush and miracle shine but those shouldn't really apply because they only apply to the MS3.
 
And this is the group i can i find the details about this supposably new model and whom to ask questions about/ Cause I sure do have questions.
 
There's no new Kirby coming down the line. With the sale to Right Lane Industries, there's no millions of dollars for research as well as dies and tooling up for a new model. Never happen. I worked for Tacony for a decade and I see how long and what it takes to launch any new model. Besides, if you look at the patent for the "new" kirby, they let it expire due to non-payment of the yearly renewal fee.
 
What happens, happens…

We’ll see what happens. Maybe we’ll get another recolored Sentria, as always. Get an all new model, which would be exciting. Or nothing will happen at all. Anything could happen at this point.
 
I just have several things to say and ask also. Kirby could've had this model design and completed for god knows how long and they probably were going to launch it sooner than expected They probably didn't want a repeay of what happen with the G3 back in 1990 when it launched and it had a lot of issues with its transmission. They also probably took into account the recall issue that rexair had with the SRX a few year ago after it launch. I feel like if they are releasing a new platform then they want it to not have any issues or recall concerns like what they had back in 1990 with the G3 or what rexair experience a few years ago with the SRX. My question is why are they waiting till June to release this "new model". Is there some sort of event that happens in the vacuum community that takes place in June? I'm also curious to what color and what they'll name this "new model". Just because they sold the company to right lane industries doesn't mean they couldn't have had this machine in the works for some time. It also doesn't mean we'll get stuck with the G-series/sentria/avalir systems forever.
 
Regarding my first post on here...

If TTI still has the design, tooling, and moldings. I would hope they would bring back either the Hoover Platinum Collection UH30010COM/Royal Pro-Series UR30095 or the Hoover Clean & Light U4707/ Royal Lightweight Upright RY6400, and just slap the Dirt Devil name/colors on them. In my opinion I think they're better than some Orecks that I've used before. They also would get more competitive to some other lightweight uprights that are on the market today. And probably would make David Oreck feel a little better about not having the Dirt Devil brand on his Orecks lol. Anyways, just a thought.
 
YES!

I would love for TTI to bring back those classic metal uprights:) Whether it's under the Hoover Commercial, Oreck Commercial, or even if TTI creates the Dirt Devil Commercial line. I would prefer them to be under the Dirt Devil brand since it's technically Royal's sister brand. Though I don't think they would revive the Royal brand again, I doubt it's a popular brand nowadays.

its March.....

And you all know what that means. potientally a new dyson cordless around the corner, since they launch those typically in March.






And just 3 months till this "new kirby" we might be getting.
 
As a Huge fan of upright vacuums I must admit that their is nothing I am really looking forward to.
Firstly Here in South Africa our market is cylinder ( canister ) and cordless based.

We get very few uprights, outside sebo, kirby and vorwerk their are 2 on our market.

Dyson is now completly cordless in our market and while I love my v11 I still prefer a plug in upright vacuum.

I have to say that the current vacuum market does not bring any excitement to me any more. I dont even know when I last walked down the vacuum isle at a shop.

I saw the nex sebo x7 yesterday and while I am sure its very good ( I have a x4 as my daily at home ) I can see no reason for uprgading from my x4. They even look the same almost ( aside from the headlight ) but it has a less powerful motor. Its kind of like looking at the new Toyota Camry over the old one , Yawn Why bother upgrading its never going to break down.

A new Kirby would be nice to see if its acually new and not a re colored version of a 30 year old design, I seem to think that Kirbys chief engineer used to work at Buick, Think Century 83 to 95
 
Good to hear from you Gareth! I always find it interesting how here in the US, it's the opposite, while cordless vacs are also very common here, uprights (or at least traditional uprights along with crossover type vacs like Shark style) are far more common than cylinder/canisters. I wouldn't say canisters are totally unheard of, but in a typical department store retail/big box environment, they are rarely seen.
 
Well, unfortunately I didn't get to see my wish(s) come true this year. And I even highly doubt that'll ever happen, at least not anytime soon. However though, I was very excited to see Bissell step up and release their new dual motor commercial uprights that are made by Lindhaus, I like them better than their predecessor models. And, I was very excited to see the new Karcher Ranger upright that's made by Sebo. Anyways, for next year I'm going to make another wish and this one is for sure going to be granted because it's expected to come out soon. John the CEO from SEBO America confirmed to me that Sebo will be showing off their own version of the Karcher Ranger at the VDTA convention in April and should be shipped out to dealers by May. I'd like to add both the Sebo and the Karcher Ranger to my collection cause I don't know how long they'll last in the market. That was my mistake when Shop-Vac came out with their Easy Lift upright because I didn't realize they weren't going to last for very long in the market and have wanted to add one in my collection during the time but I didn't unfortunately.
