I love all of the small nozzle Kirbys,they really made a mistake in late 1969 with the 16 1/2 inch nozzle on the clunky Kirby Classic and didn't trim down again until 1986,in the middle of the production of the Heritage II. |

WOW! I am not really a Kirby dude, but that is really awsome! I am more of a Hoover, Lux, and butt man. |

I purchased it a couple of months ago and I love it. It is the best vacuum I have used for cleaning carpets and lifting the nap. I would rate it comparable to the power nozzle on my MIracle Mate or the Worwek power nozzle. It out performs my Lux 9000 for carpet cleaning that's for sure. Normally I prefer a canister vac because it is more convenient to switch between rug cleaning and above the floor cleaning as I am moving throughout the house. With the Kirby I have to retrace my steps after switching to the above the floor cleaning. I was amazed at how much suction it does have. It is heavy but with the tech drive weight is not a factor. I do wish they made a better rug/floor tool and floor/wall brush. The rug/floor tool doesn't allow for air to circulate when vacuuming on a low pile carpet or the floor so when vacuuming up larger objects (like hard cat food) it tends to push the food away. Gary |

I also installed the Ultimate G brushroll in my Diamond Edition...The softer brushroll works just as well as the stiff brushroll. |

Hey KirbyKid, I like my Electrolux 9000 for cleaning the floors with the bare floor tool but I find the hose handle heavy and cumbersome when doing a lot of above the floor cleaning with the dusting brush or crevice tool. Because of the handle's size it is awkward to get into tight places. That's where the handle on the old hoses (like on my lux 89) is much more convenient. I like the lightness of the Kirby hose and the tools but I just wish they made a better rug/floor nozzle. Gary |
