Dear All,

I wanted to share some pictures as soon as I could. As some of you have read, I was trying to replace my 9 year old Kenmore with a much better cleaning system and I want to thank those for your input.

Fortunately, Hoover1060 helped me with a G6 and I wanted to share pictures of her. Like many of my things around my home, I have a name for them. My car, MacBook Pro, all appliances all have names. Well after some debate Troy and I settled on Hellga. So I now introduce you to Hellga our G6 Kirby. And what a suck-mistress she has turned out to be.

First, I cannot believe the difference in quality between my 1999 Kenmore and this Kirby, there is no challenge! In all aspects, it works much better than any vacuum, even the Dyson Animal. What astounds me is it's so easy to use. I have done so much cleaning today, I fear Troy may get used to all this. LOL. Even the quality of attachments are good too. I thought just the vacuum was well built, but even the attachments are made of very durable plastic and the bristles on the brushes are thick and work well.

However with all the quality and well thought out design, it's amazing how close it looks to my Nanny's 1965 Kirby Sanitronic 50 series. Although there are many modifications and changes made, it still looks and even somewhat sounds the same. The only thing that is missing is my Nanny making cookies...LOL.

Overall, I'm so very pleased with the performance of how this Kirby works and how so very easy it is to use. While I did do most of my vacuuming in Neutral without the help of the Tech-Drive, I tried it once and vacuumed my living, dining room and hallway again just to see it work. In fact, I nearly danced with it today, and that my friends is a true Kodak moment.

Here are some pictures I wanted to share. Hellga standing proud and tall after a day's work. A picture of her new home all snug and put into bed and lastly, a picture of her friends, the attachments.

Thanks so much and I'm sure to keep reading and enjoying this forum.

I don't know how to post multiple pictures, so I'll do them individually right now.

Matt,

You will love that vacuum. I have the Diamond Edition. The bags filter very well, it is easy to use with the attatchments and your right...it will out clean, out filter any Dyson on the market. Not only will it do all that, but it will last you a lifetime....not just a matter of a couple of years.

I am glad Hellga has found such a loving home. She even has her own room...not shared by another.
