... I think you have to look at the total value here.
Getting a "like new" completely cleaned and refurbished late model Kirby for under $300 *alone* is an amazing deal. The aftermarket accessories are a bonus. Even chucking the accessories and buying a brand-new accessory package directly from Kirby puts you way ahead of the game. |

My ex Craig bought a refurbished Dyson DC07 Animal from Great Vacs back in 2009. It was pictured & advertised on Ebay as having genuine Dyson tools & being fully refurbished & with a warranty. When it arrived, it had a cracked powerhead hose & aftermarket tools & aftermarket turbo brush. When he confronted Great Vacs about it by email, they refused to take responsibility & fix the vacuum. For that reason, I would be hesitant about dealing with them & look for another Ebay-er to buy from.

Tyled,
One thing that some first-time G Series users may not know about is that you must ALWAYS switch the Tech Drive pedal, on the rear of the cleaner and below the power switch, into "N" for Neutral before you turn-off the cleaner. If you leave the cleaner in "D" for Drive when the cleaner is off it will strip the Tech Drive and wreck the system. Also, I strongly recommend you use the Envirotect HEPA bags for Kirby G Series vacuums. They filter very well and are great for people with alergies. Best of luck and enjoy your purchase.

Very Nice. I picked up a bunch of kirby tools/front nozzle/shampoo curbside a couple months back from a G4, unfortunately I think scrappers beat me to the G4...: ( |

It will mark your floors and wear the tread off of the back wheels. Also do no try and push the G4 with tech drive on and the motor off. If could ruin the transmission.
The G4 was my first Kirby since the Classic. The tech drive has improved since the G4, but it is still a nice feature on plush carpets. I always liked the color. Interesting comments on great vacs. They use the same picture over and over when selling these items, so you do not get the machine pictured. If you want a refurbished machine, try goodvac.com. Very nice people to deal with and quick shipping. PR-21 |
