The TechDrive (transmission) shifts much more smoothly. In fact, it shifts so smoothly that you don't really notice it. The G3 was a little jerky. |

I COMPLETELY agree with Eric. All the G Series machines are the same. I do have to say though after using all the G Series the G4 seems to be the quietest for some odd reason. Maybe it's just me... :) Clayton |

I think they all perform the same, but I prefer the G6 because I like it's black and gold color scgeme the best of all of the Generation series |

Thanks for all the info!! How "special" is the 2 speed feature on the G7? Or is it just a "topside" version of the safety switch? Inquiring minds want to know!! Greg |

I too have a Diamond Edition (bought it NIB on eBay) and I absolutely love it!! I use it weekly and I think the tech drive seems to be better than on the G4 I had a while back. I don't use it on small area rugs often but when I do that Two Speed switch is a life saver! Like someone else said earlier, it makes it possible to vacuum an area rug or door mat easily without pulling it right up into the machine. I use the Kirby Hepa bags in my unit and while they are expensive, I noticed they greatly improve air flow and they last me a long time. The Diamond Edition is one machine which I will never part with, I plan to have and use it for many years to come! I use a little Windex to wipe it down every few weeks and I still think it shines just like new.

Beautiful, Andrew! Makes me miss mine...it was sold last year to help pay for my trip to North Canton! Great cleaner, but not terribly practical for my house. |

I own a Hair Salon that is completly carpeted,,even under the hydraulic chairs at the work stations (With rubber mats directly under the chairs. ( i have an eversion to cold,bare floors,,am just a carpet kind of guy) I bought a G4 to use in the salon, when they first came out, and soon found out i could not use it in the salon for vacuuming the carpets, as the exhaust blew the hair away from the machine, before i could vacuum it up! Was VERY frustrating. Too bad, but i solved the problem by trading the G4 for a Heritage 2, with the G Series top fill tube installed, so that i could use the G series Micro bags in it. Also had a more agressive brushroll installed in the Heritage 2, which makes it very easy to push and manuver,,and grabs up every last hair on the floor without blowing it away from the machine. Works like a charm! |

"The generations have a nasty habit of blowing leaves away from the left side of the machine", Maybe you should rake before vacuuming. LOL |
