I totally agree with Rick, I vacuum much slower with my Kirbys then I do with other machines. The Tech-Drive is just miles ahead of any other self-propelled vacuum that I have ever used. It certainly makes Hoover's self-propelled set-up look like something that was created out of total spontenaety. I really love my Diamond Edition and Ultimate G!! It just doesnt seem right to vacuum the carpet with anything else, they just dont seem to be "completely clean" in my mind unless I use a Kirby. Best of luck with your new machine!! The G-Series really are wonderful vacs.

I have a G4 80th Anniversary Edition, & a G6 2001 Limited Edition & they clean great. Nothing beats a Kirby when you want to use an upright & want to really get the rugs clean....
My only pet peeve with the G series is I wish they made the brushroll bristles stiffer. As much as my Heritage & Heritage 2 are hard to push, I like the really strong brushing action from the brushroll. However, I also haven't tried the new pet owners brushroll with the stiffer brushes, so perhaps it would be better if I upgraded.... Just out of curiosity, guys, who here owns a Sentria, & how well do they clean compared to the other G-series models? I have been thinking of adding one to the collection... Rob |

on the Pet Brushroll, guys! I noticed that, too, that the suction is awesome, but I wished the bristles were a little stiffer for better grooming. $5.00, Brian......WOW! =) |

The Sentria's oblique brush roll has much stiffer bristles and does a much better job of setting up positive agitation of the carpet too. You can use it in the G4, but the magnet will be on the wrong side of the nozzle. If you don't care about the brush roll light being lit, then the Sentria brush roll will work very well for you.

I figured out a solution to get better brushing action out of my G4 without replacing the brushroll. Just set the brush wear setting on the endcaps to '3'. Yes, it will make the brush wear out more quickly, but I don't care about that when I buy my brushrolls used, & pay around $5 to $10 from the dealer's scrap-pile whenever he parts-out a Kirby. Sure beats paying $50 for a brand new brushroll from the local Kirby distributor!

for all the info., guys! I didn't realize the brush roll was adjustable either. I thought it was odd that they didn't have the set screws anymore. Still lovin' it! =0) |
