put the machine in "delicate mode" so you could vacuum more delicate floor coverings without damage. In effect, that switch made the Diamond Edition a 4 speed machine. Two speeds in normal mode and two different speeds in delicate mode. I questioned the Kirby Company about them removing the switch when they came out with the Sentria, and they said it caused too much confusion with it's customers.

I have both Kirby Diamond's and Sentria's. I really like the optional power down switch on my Diamond Edition machines. I wish Kirby had kept this option on the Sentria models as well. |

Hi Tom I have a chance to get a G7 for a very good price due to the fact that you say the circuit board could cause trouble i am not sure what to do. The unit looks and sounds bran new and checks out fine. Please advise me. Thank you Doug |

You'll most likely, as a collector, never use it enough to have circuit board problems. If the circuit board ever goes out, just get a new one. I got a Diamond from an estate sale for $10, always use it on Low speed. But with 608 vintage cleaners, and a store full of new ones, I don't think I've used it 10 minutes the entire time I have had it.
