I bought mine 43 years ago,i abused it horribly it still works great what lasts longer than the roof on your house?
and parts still avalible in this day and age. expensive yes but 43 years !!
I have had my Avalir2 for over a year and have loved it since day one. I believe it’s the next older model as the current Avalir Platinum but was sold about the same price. Not sure the difference.
Wonderful cleaning system. I haven’t even begun to use it to its full potential as my house is not very big but everything has worked better than I could have imagined. That Hazard guy crying about the price has obviously never used one. My first is a model from the seventies that I still use regularly for the HEAVY DUTY stuff like vacuuming mud and dirt out of vehicles and vacuuming out the wood stove. It’s almost fifty years old and it’s needed nothing but a belt change here and there. Everything on a Kirby is well designed and easy to use. Even changing the belt (a nightmare on some brands) is a breeze that takes 30 seconds on a Kirby. My dog is a chewer and leaves trails of wood chips, pieces of toys, stuffing etc all over the house. The Avalir has great suction and will pick up mass amounts of bigger, heavier objects than any other upright vacuum I’ve ever used. Every component seems very heavy and well made. I mean everything! It is all metal, wood, heavy plastic in a few small parts. The vacuum’s auto drive assist makes it very convenient and easy to use. For being as large and as heavy as they are, I can literally push it around with ease with one finger.
I love any item that I can use and maintain over the rest of my life and Kirby is one of the few companies that still offers such a thing. Very well designed, well thought out and worth the price if you didn’t want to buy used. Five stars hands down and I would recommend a Kirby vacuum or whole house cleaning system to anyone.
I have had my Kirby for quite a while now and basically I can say it is a tank but the weight and if you can ignore how loud it is I am debating which is louder the plane over head or my Kirby if they made it lighter and brought the decibel’s down so I don’t feel like I am at the airport it would be phenomenal I guess those are the 2 major issues and the last one is the attachments it is great to have so many but it’s it so necessary I have had mine for Umm 10 years I used 3 of them it would be better to make the attachments sold separately to make it more affordable not everyone has room for all the attachments it’s like you need a whole closet for it by the way it really does suck good but in comparison to newer vacuum’s it will outlast them
I bought a brand new Kirby 30 years ago and it still works great. My sister just bought me a nearly new Kirby with all the accessories for $100 and I can’t wait to get it!!
Buy what you like but don’t bash what you can’t afford.
I am an owner of a Kirby G6, Kirby G5, And two Dyson vacuums. Dyson And Kirby’s prices are horrible and I don’t recommend buying the new modern ones. The Dyson V11s will die even if it sucks up ONE drop of water (both of my Dyson V11s I purchased broken and fixed them) I stored away my G5, (still works great) And I use my G6. The Kirby’s are great and reliable. The dysons are easy to use and have decent suction. Both have their own perks. But I must say. Kirbys have not changed since the G3 and you can pick up a G3 – Sentria II For under 100 dollars on FB marketplace or offer up. The modern Kirby’s are not worth nearly Three thousand dollars. My advice is to buy a old used Kirby and replace parts and clean it up. The Avalir has the same suction as the 30 year old Kirby G3 and they are not worth it. Sure they look nice but everything about them is identical. Take them apart and they are exactly the same as eachother. Kirbys last long and have great repairability and I do recommend getting a older Kirby and replacing parts. Please don’t spend 3k on a vacuum that’s using tech from 30 years ago. Keep your money and buy a used Sentria or G6! They last years. If your a Dyson fan than get one of the older DC07 – Animal. Save yourself money and get used. My two dysons were 20 each with 7 dollars parts. And both my kirbys were free. Please do not buy the newer models.
