I think I'm going to get one of the refurbs from WallyWorld. I looked at all the models but don't understand the HEPA units. How/where is the HEPA filter? Also, any thoughts about the Kirby shampooer (why is there never any real poo) vs a home steam cleaner?

I am guessing the hepa is in the style of bag?

That's a very hard question.

If I was you, I would get all of them! Every year, every make and model.

You might want to look at goodvac.com..............

Before you buy from that link, you might check out the above. They give you a warranty with them, you can even get an extended warranty for an additional price you could ad a attachment kit and shampooer for additional price as well. You only need one set of attachments and one shampooer for all G's series after the G4, due to the gasket....

Also check the reviews about a couple of sites like you are looking at to buy. I was concerned when I read them. One review I read said the vacuum received was nothing like the one pictured......

Sincerely,

PR-21

PR, I read that review as well but went ahead and ordered the Ultimate G. I do want to get the shampooer as well. Now I just need to sell the Oreck and Hoover!

If Kirby HEPA is just a type of bag, couldn't all "bagged" Kirbys be hepa?

I think it only fits newer style collars inside the bag.

A hepa bag that is a universal fit. It will do either the two tabs or the f style connector.

the bag hanger/receiver may be able to swap out to new style, no idea when they changed the bag opening

The reason why that Kirby seller is getting bad reviews is because they get their refurbished Kirby's from a Ebay seller called Great Vacs. Look closely at their pics, how it's laid out, & the accessories, & the description, & it's pretty obvious the seller is selling on Great Vac's behalf. I have read some pretty bad things about Great Vacs. Additionally, my ex Craig bought a refurbished Dyson DC07 from them....it showed in the Ebay listing as it having original Dyson tools....Great Vacs sent generic aftermarket tools, & the suction hose inside the powerhead was cracked & broken, had to buy a replacement on Ebay for it. I would strongly reccommend NOT to do business with them!

Guess you can wait until November and buy Kirbys newest model?

Tol, patience has never been one of my virtues! Plus maybe I'll by the new version and take one to the cabin.

The Kirby landed today. Packaging could have been better but unit is super clean and everything else is brand new.
