Indeed, but most importantly, how much aluminum will it still have? |

the idea of on board tools on a kirby made me hope like hell that it is a rumor |

On board tools will be stupid on a Kirby. Because then it's just not a kirby. |

Is this to be the new standard for Kirby, or is it sort of "keeping up with the Jonses?" I remember when Kirby went to the disposable paper bag. It was the option of the customer. Some people (like me) wanted to stay with the Sani-Em-Tor, others wanted the paper bag system. If the new Kirby with on-board tools is a new style for the sellect few, I say go for it! If it is in fact the new Kirby then I will have to accept the fact that Kirby is also a thing of the past. I know this for a fact. James B. Kirby will be turning over in his grave! This is NOT good news guys! A very deflated, Alex Taber |

I can see wanting to preserve the powerful upright that the Kirby must continue to be in order to fill its niche. Compromising that in deference to on board tools would be terrible. But, I'd be suspicious of anyone's reasoning who would bemoan a transition to a better filtration system, i.e. paper bags. That's irrational in an age when we well understand the effects of airborne particles and in view of the fact that the Sani-eptor was anything but sanitary.

The Kirby Diamond Edition is the ONLY 4 speed model that Kirby sold. I have my late grandmother's DE and I love it...Very flexible machine with the Normal/Delicate switch. |
