I kno I do it wrong, I just set it down all the way regardless of th edepth of the Pile if it is a Generation machine. If it is my classic or Legend II I go until it is hard to push and stop there | ||

Toe Touch Control
Kirby has been changing the bottom plate to enhance the tech drive. I know that I have a different one on my G5 and Gsix, than was on my Sentria. If you put the Sentria one on the G5 and Gsix you have to lower it an extra notch to have the same adjustment you had with the older rug plate nozzle. I much prefer the older style rug plate and tried to buy one off of ebay, but I got the one for the Sentria. The photo on Ebay showed the old style,which is why I bought it, I could have returned it but did not.....

Sam, You and I will have to sit in the "doing it wrong" section. I've been going - all the way - forever myself. I don't think I've never vacuumed above "2". 99%, she's set at a crusing level of "1".

I love the sound of the Kirby's airflow through the carpeting up to the machine...makes it sound like a real machine! | ||

Definetely However, I don't run into too many people that consider a vacuum cleaner a "machine"...even though they are. Now everything in the home is deemed to be an "appliance". | ||

way above the carpeting. Well, you just can't fix stupid. On a side note, I have found that I spend less time drying my clothes if I don't use water. | ||

On pre-Generation models
I've also notice that the tension on the handle spring can affect whether or not the nozzle maintains a good seal. If the spring is too tight, it will cause the nozzle to lift off the carpet too easily when pulling the vacuum backward. At that point, you have one of two choices: either click down one more notch (which makes it harder to push), or loosen the tension on the handle spring.

Yes-there is that OPPOSITE extreme vac users that have the floor nozzle set too high-in that case-they are just vacuuming---AIR.Most are the other-its set too low. | ||

I have an Ultimate G and a UG Diamond Edition and I always go two clicks past the change in sound of the motor. However, on certain carpet that I have, it occasionally requires one extra click to keep the nozzle sealed to the rug properly. Its probably all in my head, but I never feel like the little wall to wall carpet I have in the house is really "clean" unless I vacuum it with a Kirby. I just cant see how any other machine I own, even my central vacuum, can actually lift and beat the dirt out of the carpet like a Kirby can. I'm certainly a Kirby user for life!
