2009 model from Craigslist. I swapped the bag and converted it to accept Kirby Sentria bags. I have had a problem with bulbs burning out quickly. It really only happens when I go over tile to get to another carpeted room. The brush roll then spins too freely creating extra vibration, then the bulbs burns out almost right away. I still love this machine. It's pretty cool to use and does an amazing job.

No offense, but you painted it WHY? I love the original red and chrome on those machines, the black just doesn't look right to me.

No offense taken. Personal preference I guess and I get a lot of compliments on it. The Sanitaire rep at my local store loved it.

Nice!

Funny how you can still see HEAVY DUTY printed on the bag. I think it would look even more awesome if you painted the trim pieces green! Like the bumper, handle grip, bag clip, etc. Definitely a One Of A Kind Sanitaire!

I would actually like to see more of that matte black Kirby Sentria. if it looks anything like this Sanitaire then it must be beautiful.

I have the same machine, except in far worse shape (lots of sun fade), which i plan to go to a industrial orange with while using the new standard red bag i already bought for it. Way to go...standard colors suite many but not all of us all of the time.
I also have a crappy Hoover Elite an artist friend is painting on & will hopefully be done soon. I used the machine & really wasn't happy with it's performance...& it needed a new brush roll so it's going to be my first art vac!
