However I do like it. I had a Sentria and gave it to my brother and his wife. I was just so tired of the gray color schemes....I actually like this brown and blue combination very much. I wasn't much on the handle on the Sentria, but after giving it to my brother and using my other G series Kirby's, I think this handle is an improvement over the older G series machines. Handle grip is wider and for some reason in my opinion it makes stearing easier as well. The one thing I can't figure out is why they would use a gray cord and not a brown one to match the machine...The tech drive is very smooth and there seems to be less hopping if going against the grain on certain types of carpet. The machine is still pretty loud, but no more so than the other g series.
I bought the new Universal Bags that were mentioned earlier and it was very easy to install. The nice thing is I now only have to buy one type of bag, as it will fit all g series, thus the universal.... Attachments are still the same, no changes and the DVD is very much shortened. (28 minutes). Different instructions on how to adjust the toe touch control. Bud Mattingly PR-21 |

I like it! I don't know why people dislike the bag. It's very retro. Lots of 1960's era styles are returning. I've just bought a sunburst clock. Kirby is going with the modern retro style and that aqua blue color really helps it a cooler refreshing look. |

I haven't tried it on my old style yet, but it was easy to install on the FStyle adapter. It will be interesting to see if these work as well as the old Fstyle bags. Also since this goes behind and not onto and then into the grooves on the F Style adapter will it stay in place without slipping out of the grooves on the back? Time will tell, hopefully Kirby did their research.....

I have medium pile nylon plush carpeting with a pad underneath. I need all of the positive agitation that I can get. |
