When the E Series Rainbow was launched to the distributors in 1998, I was there. We were NOT allowed to take pictures. If the VCCC wasn't allowed to take pictures of the factory making Sentria II's, do you think they'll allow pictures at the distributor's meeting?

The new Kirby will be an improved rebadged Riccar 8-lb Supralite vacuum with canister. Except the Riccar will be modified so that it can be used with a blender attachment. Will also be able to attach the carpet shampooer to the top rather than the front. I'd tell more, but the Kirby security force is pounding on my door...

So has..

Tacony teamed up with kirby? Ot is it just going to be similar? I'm so suprised that kirby is going from all metal and heavy to the other extreme.. An 8lb vacuum. Thanks for the update!!!

I suspect that Ralph may be being sarcastic. His post certainly made me giggle, anyway. Blender attachment? I don't think even Kirby would go that far!

 

Trust you lot to take that seriously.

I kind of figured that...

Although stranger things have happened!

It's sarcasm. We refer to the Kirbeast as a 'glorified sawmill' and "a conglomeration of crap". That's sarcasm too.

Kindly watch your Kirby bashing, please. Unless of course that is you would like me to bash Riccar & Simplicity products.

Blender attachment....sounds like it's time for the the KITCHENETTE! Kirby might not be crazy enough, but KSSRC sure is! laughing

 

Tom, I'd love to see a Riccar build a birdhouse, then clean up it's own mess! Kirbeast for yesterday, Kirbeast for today, and Kirbeast for tommorrow! Kirbeast is the Kir-BEST! wink

Gotta do something to help keep me awake on the mid shift here-so this is one of them-in between transmitter tuning and fixing-had to do a minor fix this night.

to the Kirby fans, I'm sorry for the joke about the Riccar Supralite being the new Kirby. Certainly the Supralite is a modern direct air machine that cleans well. However, it doesn't have height adjustment, and it cannot be converted to canister mode, or run tools like a shampooer, so it could never be a Kirby.

After seeing the pics of the new Kirby, it's obvious that there are limits to how much you can change a Kirby and still have it be a Kirby. I don't think anyone would be happy with a Kirby version of the Royal Powercast. Perhaps someday they'll figure out how to add an optional bagless attachment. Would certainly be handy for the demos.
