Hello, an italian kirby dealer told me that Kirby is designing a battery operated kirby vacuum cleaner and I laughed at him...it doesn't make any sense to me but does any of you know anything about it? And more is it true that a new kirby model is going to be presented next summer? Also this voice sounds like a bulls...to me. Greetings, Tommy | ||

Not as far as I know.
Hi, Not as far as I know. Maybe he means a portable like the split second or vacuette hand held type. ANYWAY..... Kirby Don't tell its distributors when the new machine is coming out till right up to the time, yet alone what its going to be like!! They always play there cards close to there chest. End of this year/sometime next year is obveous that the new model will be out as the Sentria has been out since about October 2006 and Kirby normally put a new machine out every few years anyway.

I dunno, you can get battery powered lawnmowers. Maybe it uses something like a big old car battery :P | ||

There was a rumor to that effect about 10-15 years ago in the G series run, along with an on board tools machine. Neither has materialized... Kirby is not one to set the innovation trail on fire, ya know. John | ||

Quite a standard Kirby gimmick this tbh, as it looks good but I can see no genuine reason for it :P | ||

i wonder.....
i wonder if the next kirby different, they only changed the handle and the headlight cap on the sentria, other than different colors and the nozzle bumper. mabey its like the dual sanitronic 80 was where they started to use new handle for their old model then they completely change it like the classic was to the 500/sanitronic series. in my opinion i dont think we will see a new kirby model this year because they usally have a new one every 3 years but there are exceptions like the g-4 it was late 93-late 97, then again the ultimate g was 2002-2003, i would be interested to know what they are planning for the future! i dont think there would be any benifets of a battery operated kirby, you would still have to charge it, and those batterys are not light!

My prediction remains If Kirby is toying with a battery opperated machine, it will be some form of robitic. | ||
