Actually, I can't say that I'm that crazy about it. The gold looks strange with the G6 color scheme. And imagine getting a scratch on this. I guess you just wouldn't use it and it would be for collection only. |

I think it's ugly, but I'll buy one when I win the lottery so I can say I have a gold vacuum :o) I'd use it though! |

I think they look better without the gold, but it would be a rare machine to have in a collection. One good thing about a normal Kirby is its restorability if it gets scratched. I imagine that the gold would buff off of a machine like this, so I'd be nervous to use it lest it be ruined and unrestorable. I'd love to have that gold one because of its novelty, though.

These are models given to dealers/distributors when they meet sales goals. The gold color, I believe, is a sprayed lacquor over the current aluminum. A scratch will take the color down to the silver. |

Actually that is a Santeria, not an Ultimate. I think it is way over priced and definitely not gold plated. |
