Making my local visit to my Kirby dealer I happened upon this Hyla GST made 11/2/15.. I got it for $20! It may not be as good as Rainbow but I really really like these machines as I had one of the previous models and sold it to a friend.I think my favorite thing about this vac is the powenozzle. It has a nice feel to it and grooms carpet nicely. Anyone else have one of these machines? Please share your thoughts...

I have no experience with the machine, but will say it was still a good buy. The nozzle alone is worth more than what you paid.

You definitely got quite the find with that one!! I have heard they are supposed to be similar in quality to a Rainbow and have some features which may work better.
The power nozzle looks like a redesigned Wessel Werk EBK340. Are those dual LED headlights in the front? The EBK340 used to have fully indented headlight area with lens.
Awesome find!!

Those are dual LED lights on the front. I have not stopped using this thing since I bought it. It cleans the carpet so well and to be honest I find a few features more convinent than my rainbow.
-The Power nozzle has complete control switch on the handle in which you can turn the whole vacuum off or just the nozzle itself. -The Power nozzle itself really seems to deep clean and groom carpet very well (including shag rugs) -The water basin is large capacity and is very easy to carry when full of water. -The water basin is also very easy to clean as it is a bucket design. -The machine automatically adjust from air cleaning mode to full power once the hose is inserted Bottom line is, for the price I paid for this, it truly is worth it and I plan to use it often because it is fun to vacuum with it, not to mention it does have very good cleaning ability and so far pretty good quality. |
