Markhenry:
I am repeating here what I wrote in your earlier thread:
FYI - All of the Kirby G series machines, including Avalir, are capable of using the newer Kirby HEPA bags. When using a HEPA bag in your Kirby, you will actually be cleaning the air in the room as you vacuum.
Also, because of their massive airflow, Kirby and the newer Royal metal upright vacuums will deep clean your carpets better than any other vacuum, Upright or Canister. Kirby Avalir has won CRI's GOLD seal of approval (Royal won Silver) for cleaning ability and Air Filtration. The Miele C3 will not deep clean or filter the air as well as a Kirby can.
Harley is correct, There is no need to pay full retail price for a Sentria II or Avalir. You can find a "Like new" Kirby for only a few hundred dollars on ebay.

the Miele you have chosen would work well. If you want a water filtration machine, check out the Sirena. It will work as good as the Rainbow and can be gotten new for around $895. I much prefer canisters over uprights, much easier to get under things and much easier to use with attachments. Mike |

Honestly, I feel both the Rainbow and the Miele are more user friendly, especially when it comes to attachment usage. I rarely if ever use the tools on a Kirby, I'll often use a suction only canister instead. The Miele and Rainbow have permanent belts and the P/Ns swivel for easier steering, and they also reach under low furniture better than the Kirby. Some find the water annoying and difficult to deal with, but I don't. I tend to prefer the Rainbow just because I like the round canister with 4 casters instead of the more typical canister design like the Miele, but they're both very good vacuum cleaners, among the best you can get.

Will not move the amount of air a Kirby will even if the Kirby is half full of dirt.Try a Baird Airflo Meter and see! |

Any machine with a HEPA bag should be able to do the same, those bags are what in my eyes saved direct air machines from being dust belchers, its just not easy to contain all the exhaust from the bag into a HEPA filter the way it is on a clean air machine, so making the bag the HEPA filter was the obvious easy way to do it.

@Kirbysthebest
I think the only credibility Question has been you. Fact checking time 1#The producer of That video Dose not make a dime if you buy vacuum brand A over Vacuum brand B . 2#I prefer many brands over Miele. Such as NSS,lindsay manufacturing,SEBO,MD,lindhaus,Nilfisk I know you will have to google some of those. #3 You are only a small time Collector who has yet to get more experience with other brands . you view will change over time . #4 I have been in Vacuum repair Since 2005 |
