To shampoo the carpet only, would the Avalir (based experiences with the Sentria and past Kirby models) be as effective as the X3 and/or vice-versa? |

Compared to past kirby carpet cleaners, a kirby cant hold a candle to a rugdoctor or hoover etc. They never were long term cleaners, and didn't do much of an impact in the appearance as a good hoover would. |

Maybe Kirby will go to a dry cleaning system, like lindhaus and sebo. Maybe a redesign of the polishing brush to scrub it in....That would get rid of the tray in front....and still allow them to have a shampoo system. Quite honestly I have been concidering the dry cleaning method for some time.....

The info I had about Zorb being composed of cotton was incorrect, or the composition changed since I was told about it. Sorry. |

when I have picked up spent Host Cleaner-I use a Royal with a dump bag-no problems.Just think its too much to use the disposable bags-you go thru SEVERAL in a cleaning session-for one box of Host. |

for sharing that information about Zorb. The larger granules is a much better idea. I've had experience with the finer baking soda type stuff sifting right through a thick area rug. |
