There is no differance in suction, just a wider path to cover. The classic style nozzle also featured 'edge cleaning'which was a strong selling point at the time. Alex. |

I accept the correction of Charles Richard. He knows the physics of a Kirby far better than I do, I just sold em. His ideas make sense. |

I must chime in to affirm Charles-Richard's experience with the small nozzle on the Legend. The smaller nozzle does make a difference with these machines. |

Also,edge cleaning did not come out on Kirbys until 1982,when the Heritage debuted. |

my dilemma is, (and the reason I'm asking) is becuase due to lack of space, I am trying to figure out which vacuum I want to keep in my apartment for use and which one is going into storage.. I have a Sanitronic and a Classic I CR... I can't really decide which one I want to keep home but I know I want the one with the best cleaning ability to stay... if I keep the sanitronic, I am getting a new brushroll, and i need to find a way to make the sani-emtor bucket thing a little more secure,, it's a little loose and i feel like it's leaking dust.. if I keep the Classic, i will use as is because it is in fairly good condition.. i may just slap another polish job on it this weekend...

classics had 7A motors versus the 4.5A motors on earlier machines.The Classic had to increase the motor power to accomidate the wider floor-carpet nozzle.the "G" machines are 7A as well. |
