Hi All Today i used my 26 year old Kirby i mostly use the g series as i have a lot of thick rugs while i most admit i really like the power drive i FORGOT what a nice feeling it is to use the Heritage2. I love the sound of the motor and the nice large bag I love the color two. My wife got done puting the tree up last night and needed to go over the rug i had the Heritage out so she used that after she got done she said i think you are right their is something nice about useing the Heritage2 (First time i was right in 40 years) I was at my Kirby dealer yesterday and saw the Santera i would love that to add to my collection. It looks much nicer in person then in a picture power drive is very smooth.Ok all have fun with those vacuums. And Happy Holidays to All Doug
