Last week the Kirby man paid me a visit-Haden't seen him in several years.Got a new Kirby Sentria2,then he let me look at the trades in his van-some interesting ones!!Lets see-A Lindhaus Healthcare 12 upright,Royal blue Pony,and last--A Nilfisk GS80 Silver Bullet vac in prime condition.Cleaning up the Nilfisk now-didn't need much-just wash out the bag bin,and clean the filters.The Nilfisk came with an air powered powernozzle and the other tools.The Royal has all of its parts-just needed the bag to be changed.The Lindhaus will need a bag-will have to try to get some.Haven't tried it yet.Told him to let me know when the 2014 Kirby comes out-he was saying I would be his first customer for it.

I actually bought the Sentria II for a couple reasons. Firstly, it's gorgeous. Secondly, if the 2014 Kirby turns out to be less than perfect, then I will still have my Sentria II. But then again, if the 2014 Kirby turns out to be completely redesigned for the better, then I can trade in my Sentria II for one if I want to.
I do like the Sentria 2-its a very nice machine-like the newer "mini emptor" better-if it really has one.The new design is more efficient.The Kirby guy and I are both wondering what the new Kirby will be like.The Niifisk and the Royal are working really good.Had to deodorize the Nilfisk.So far-much better-had a musty-dog smell.Haven't tried the Lindhaus yet since i don't have any bags for it.Since I have more than one Sentria 1,will trade that towards the new Kirby if I like it.
