they should have come out with the color change when they introduced the Style F bag because people buy the wrong bags all the time for their Sentria and a color change would have helped or even a name change. |

Going to increase their sales. All a Sentria owner has to do is buy the new bag, and the blue handle carrier and possibly the cord has a little blue in it as well, can't tell. Can't tell if that is gold or brown by the picture, but again they used gray with it......
Sincerely, Bud Mattingly PR-21 Thanks for the pictures, I do appreciate that.... |

If they were going for a retro look, they succeeded. I had bathroom wallpaper in a rental apartment in the 70's that looked like the bag. Really? Sad...very sad that's all they could come up with for a model change. |

Oh, joy!!! Yet another shade of grey. That some original thinking Kirby. How many more shade of grey do you think they can come up with? And that bag... gag. So much for 'major changes coming'. Maybe it's a good think I can't afford one, it would be nothing more than a slightly changed Sentria.
However, over a year ago I told a member of this forum that Kirby should just change the trim color, find another patter for the bag and call the machine Sentria II, so I must be smarter than I look. Justin ps. Did I mention I don't like the bag and grey trim? |

Dan,
Just because I don't like think Kirby spent much time choosing trim color and bag patterns does not mean that I am not a Kirby Lover. I love Kirby far more than any other brand on the market or off. I just think that the 'suits' at Kirby could have done better... Red or Blue, even Green would be better than yet another shade of Grey. |

That looks lovely, really like the colours in that bag, kinda like a mix of retro with modern lol.
I think it is a re live of a legend 2, how they were developing the G3 at the time. Let's hope kirby ate cooking up something special for 2014! I can see people are disapointed, but what you moaning for? At least they brought out a new model! Also, I hate the new emptor, it is horrible, old one, please! :( |

I think the new Kirby looks cool! It seemed that most people on here wanted to see a color change on the Sentria, (which was long overdue), and now that Kirby gave us one, a lot of people don't like it. It's not like Kirby was going to introduce a brand new, redesigned model two years before their 100th anniversary, so why complain?

I just find it a bit rude, somewhat. I can see where you are coming from, seven years waiting patiently for a new model, wondering what they have done next. People were begging for something new, something with a different colour, just people did when the Legend ll came out, and now Kirby's come out with the "sentria 2" with a few colour changes, like people wanted, and you throw it back in there face. I quite like the new model and I am not gonna lie they could off added a bit more blue detail, but you know what, it is still something different and a modified name. Like Floyd said they are hardly going to bring out something totally redesigned, two years prior to their anniversary. Please don't take any offensive, I was just expressing how I feel. |

I was never too fond of the original Sentria, but this model looks even worse. I noticed the new emtor immediately, and once again the older versions looked much better. The bag looks oddly vintage and extremely contemporary at the same time; it might have looked better in a different color. I do appreciate a model update, and the company letting us see it before the conference, so it's not entirely negative. Still excited for 2014!

When I first saw it yesterday I was a bit disappointed, but I have to admit its growing on me.
How does one really redesign a Kirby anyway?? Kirby's to me have always had the same basic design and function to begin with. If you change that then to me it would no longer be a Kirby... Also, will these be sold until the 2014 model? Isn't that a bit short for a Kirby model to be in production. Seems like it would financially hurt them. |

I just happened to be passing through Andrews, Texas today and stopped by the Kirby factory in hopes of getting a first hand look at the Sentria II. Unfortunately, it was past their normal office hours, and I couldn't get in. So this is all I can post! LOL!

P. S. I think they need to work on that sign! |

So is the trim color grey or light brown? I will admit that I have a very slight color-blindness so to me the pictures look like more grey. I hope it's not grey. Otherwise, I like the Sentria and I want one. There really was nothing I didn't like about the Sentria, so I'm sure that I'd like the Sentria II. The bag pattern will just take some getting used to.

Jeff, how would someone design their own bag? I know that people can think of their own design ideas and such, but how can the average person get that idea from their inside their head on to the bag? |

its way and was trying to let everyone know but I couldn`t say anything because I promised my source . This was held up because of the economy and almost didn`t make it . Kirby wanted to give everyone something to hold over until the big 100th anniversary total redesign makes its debut . Like I have said the new Kirby (2014) will change Kirby for the better and I even think will make all other manufactures say why didnt we think of that ? Stay tuned folks less than two years and counting . I am so happy with the Brown and teal colors and that cool bag pattern rocks ! The new emptor improves and increases the Kirbys power and will also be used on the new model plus it is way easier for people to remove especially the older folks which Kirby has NOT forgotten wait you will all see very very soon !!!!!!!!!!!!

Brovokid, This isn't the 100 anniversary model ( I don't believe ) it's just like when they came out with the Legend II. It was just for filler untill they finished the G-3. I bet this is a filler to keep us customers happy because we can say there is a new model, till finally the new big boy is finished. I bet it WILL wow us.

So I noticed that on the handle it still just says "Sentria" - they should have made it say Sentria II, similar to when they did the Heritage / Heritage II.
I'm betting it was a cost saving but it kind of seems like it would be important to label the machine in a clearly visible area. At least for me. I'm sure the rating plate on the bottom indicates Sentria II. Minor detail that bothers me a little! :) Andrew |

Doug,
I emailed Kirby about just this subject. What I was told was that the trim is called Warm Brown and that it is a mix of grey and beige. I think that makes it Greige. The accent color is teal, called Mineral Blue. I still don't like the patter of the bag, but I will learn to live with it. Justin |

Kirby has a tradition of not doing major redesigns, but really that is the best they can muster? Also if they want to fill in time keep the same model, please, it just confuses people. |

I'd guess that the Sentria 2 would be $1200-$2500, since that is what they are sold for here. Royal vacuums, which are similar in design to Kirbys have a removable cap called the Adjust-O-Rite on the front that is used to indicate the correct height setting. When the adjust-o-rite is removed and the belt is removed from the shaft, the hose can be plugged in.

In the times I have used both of those-never have seen them completely dry out.Even after waiting for an hour.Guess the dampness in my area-it REALLY damp here-even with AC.And my home has a vapor barrier under the flooring. |

And another thing for the drywall sanding-put the sander on the wands and you can reach high areas without a ladder! |

I miss the big puffiness of the older Kirby outer bags. This one looks even smaller than my Ultimate G Diamond. |

Hello, has any of you ever wondered why kirby doen't design a better floor tool? I've always been disappointed with kirby floor tools, did any of you noticed that they don't clean hard floors very well and that are too small if compared to the widt of the power head, being a Kirby a vacuum cleaner for homes of certain dimensions? I had to buy ( for very little, about 20 euro, a standard floor tool with front and rear brush bristles, large air path so it doesnt continously clog with objects and hairs etc and two rubber wheels that allow it to glide perfectly on hard floors and also on area rugs or carpet.i think that a cleaner of that price would deserve a much better attachment, more simple and better working! Your opinions? Greetings, Tommy

I love the old Kirby's and would buy the new one in an instant, but a just can't get past that cheap plastic hose and the cheap plastic on the tools they are using now. |

I just bought my mom the new chainlink Sentria II, she loves the colors... Though, I argued with her and argued, cause I just rebuilt her G3 that she has, she said she had to have the new one... A couple days later she calls me and says I can have it back if I wanna get my money back cause there are really no noticeable differences between the g3 and sentria II...... ... I nearly hung up.. All I said was 'AH DUH!'... I told her she was stuck with it.. LOL She still likes the machine.. just was thinking there would be a lot of changes... to her, the new thinner outter bags that support the new hepa bags, different transmission, pivot, carry handle on the bag holder, emtor and more poly body don't count as significant changes..
Oh well.. LOL I hope Kirby makes a self propelled vacuum in a similar design to the royal powercast... That would be a modern update! |

Basically the same story as the Heritage II legend and Legend II before the introduction of the G3 in 1990- the only difference between the Heritage II legend and Legend II is color. That's it. They held over the Heritage/Legend II by improving the color scheme, then introduced the G3. They held over the Sentria (II) by improving the color scheme, and no doubt they will come out with a new and completely different machine.
