So today I was gonna stop and buy an Avalir 1 but I decided on the Avalir 2. I was unsure about the bag at first but it looks better to me in person. I love this machine and this is my first brand new Kirby purchase. It has a lifetime motor warranty and 3 years on everything else. The handle design is much better to me than my sentria 2. I think that is the biggest improvement overall.

My new Avalir 2 did not come with a DVD either. The distributor I dealt with explained to me that Kirby will not produce DVDs anymore as the same material can be viewed on Kirby's website or on their YouTube channel. |

Congrats on your new Kirby! It’s beautiful! I’ve always wanted a brand new one myself, just need to be in a position where I can drop that kind of money without breaking a sweat!
Anyhoo, just two days ago I’ve come the closest I’ve ever been to owning a brand new Kirby... Long story short, I was visiting a friend about 40 miles north of me and the ride home was a series of accidents... So, I took surface streets and saw a pawn shop and just had this itch to stop inside. I’m glad I did. A shiny, beautiful Avalir (red trim) was right there...going by serial number it was only 7 months old - and - $104! I bought it immediately, took it home, inspected everything (perfect). I also have a Sentria 2, and used to also have Tradition 3CB (sold it to a friend, she just wouldn’t leave me alone about buying it). Sorry, I’m rambling on... Anyway... I hope you are enjoying the Avalir 2! I’m going to try to attach a pic of my (almost new) find...

The Avalir 2 does look beautiful.
But i'd like to know if: -the Avalir 2's made in USA; -the 1 1/4 in. accessories of competing brands can get connected to the model's hose; -the model is better-made than a Miele C3 canister with the power-head modeled SEB 236 or a Simplicity Power Team canister with the Tandem Air nozzle; -you people think that the blue and black on the current design as well as the red and black on the predecessor are a nice change from all that gray on the other modern models (like the Sentria and Sentria 2) that you're fed up with. |

@moderneezer:
ALL Kirby's have always been made in either Cleveland Ohio or Andrews Texas USA including the current Avalir models.
The Kirby is definitely better made than any Miele! All Kirby's are made mostly of High Grade Aircraft Aluminum whereas all Miele's are made of plastic. Kirby designs and builds all of its own motors which are made to last a lifetime with only needing to replace worn brushes every decade or so. There are many 50 year old (and older) Kirby's still in use today. How many Miele's do you think will still be in use 50 years from now?
