Also have to wonder what a new filter is going to cost, because you know you are going to need one probably sooner than later!! | ||

Sounds a whole lot more time consuming to accomplish the sam
As he says himself "...each time you use my bagless system you will empty the cup and clean (aka wash & thoroughly dry) the filter...". The Kirby as we all know sucks so strong the filter would be well clogged before you were finished the main floor carpet. Fun to watch it fill up, tho'. Heck, I just vacuum and go and change the bag when it needs it. Not a huge loss of suction til the bag is way too full. I'll stick with the Kirby cloth bag, paper filter bag and the combination of both, thanks. That horizontal version will be bruising a lot of ankles... Oh well, if Jim Keeler needs to re-invent the wheel to suppliment his retirement income then fine...after all, it says he engineered the power drive. Maybe Kirby restructured him out to the curb...? $100 for a 3 foot plastic hose on the 'Tornado Action' model! I mean, it's the same canister but for the name. That's a mighty expensive hosing... Those cylindrical HEPA filters have to be absolutely dry or the water trapped in the microgrid blocks the airflow. I have a cheesy china bagless hepa vac and I have to dry the filter on the furnace floor register before I can use it again. Don't use it much.

bagged Kirbys
I totally agree with you guys.... what's a Kirby without its signature bag? That's my favorite part about them! I give him points for being creative and using his imagination, but personally, I think his units look hideous. Who wants to clean a filter out everytime after you vacuum anyways? Give me my Legend II or G-4 with Micron Magic bags and some Kirby Odorific and I am ready to go!

Techdrive
I LOVE IT! I love that it doesn't just choose a speed on its own but rather adjusts to the speed of your movements. I love the way it hugs the carpet and how clean and groomed the carpets look after using it. I've been using it the most out of my collection since I have gotten it. I also love the retro/futuristic look as well. It looks like it could fit in in the past as well as the future. It's definately one of my babies!

This is just my opinion, but I have never had a Kirby loose suction with a full bag. Especially with the new Micron Magic bags, plus with those there is no leakage. When we moved into our home, we had to sand down the kitchen walls after removing the wall paper. I used my Diamond G with a Heritage Turbo sander, a micron magic bag. We sanded the entire kitchen and when I removed the bag there was no plaster dust inside the outer bag, the paper bag was lined about an inch thick with plaster duster, no loss in suction at all. The turbo sander left no dust in the air, the floor or on any of the woodwork. It was awesome. When I was finished, I just pulled the bag, put a peice of tape over the opening and disposed of it...now who would want to empty that container full of plaster dust, change the filter at a cost... does that make any sense! my two cents for this day.
