I told them that We were not willing to pay over a certain price and got Back half of our money. Now we feel great about the purchase and love the Kirby because my husband and I cleaned on a Saturday, the whole week the house didn’t accumulate near as much dust as it used to, so I didn’t have to kill myself vacuuming on Friday and was even able to use the extra time to have a little me time. The guy that came to the house Michael Lyons just wanted to say thank you you are an excellent salesman/instructor. I know how to use the Kirby inside and out for all the functions. Great vacuum!!!!

I’m loving my new Avalir. Had a Dyson and I would have to run over a spot several times before it picked it up. With certain materials I would notice it would spin around the brush roll before finally being sucked up plus all the dust from having to empty the paperless bag system. Since my Kirby, I haven’t looked back. I use it to clean everywhere in my home and when it’s time to empty the bag, I don’t have dust flying back in my face. I’ve learned my lesson, I won’t buy any other vacuum but Kirby from now on. Yes, they are expensive but they are worth every penny. I also know it will last me for years before I’ll need another one.
@@kirbyvacuums I have bought a Kirby avalir 2, and a hand me down Kirby g5 from my father's friend, I also have a Kirby classic, I am ridiculously impressed with the quality, performance, and the upgrades between the oldest and newest vacuum I own, keep up the good work!
nothing compares to my kirby. i used to use one as a kid. one that was kinda purple. my mom bought it along with all the attachments and shampoo kit. now i have a little cleaning business i just started. after my cheap vacuum broke, after only 3 months of use. i tried to buy an oreck xl. when i went to but this they also had a open box kirby, and i remmeber how powerful and durable the are. our old kirby lasted us over maybe 15 years and we never even replaced the belt. after the belt broke my mom i think didnt know where to get one so she retired it to the shed. i decided to buy this kirby and the man gave me a really good deal. i knew that even though it was a previous model you can count on kirby. i bought both the kirby and the oreck xl special edition. the xl broke in one month so i will take it to the shop. but i used my kirby yesterday and it was like a dream. i showed up to my clients home and they saw my kirby vaccum and you could see they knew because they barely said a word. it was so easy to use on their combination flooring. i pulled out my attachments to clean the kitchen cabinets and it cut my time by 60% just to have something capable. i even shortened my time on the refrigerator. this avilir model seems basically new but so did our 15 yr kirby. im so thankful for kirby and their design. i have some wealthy customers with very pricey vacuums in house. like the miele model that ran them over two thousand dollars and dyson etc but after seeing kirbys performance in just that first use i can already tell there is no comparison. idk why kirby doesnt just put it out there. hey buy this vaccum its the best period. i could npt be more happy with it. the major draw back for someone like me vs for examply a oreck is that the oreck is super light. but my confidence the the kirby will pick up the dirt and do the job without wasting my time outweighs the weight factor. also that its made of true durrable materials. i will always recomend kirby, at any price. i want to get another one just to have a back up and be so happy to own two! maybe as my business gets better this kirby will help my buy a brand new one 🙂
I love my Avalir Kirby!! Shampooed for the first time and carpets look good!! Only problem I have is my dirt tray must have been used in a demostration because it was dirty and had a little crack in it! But it still done its job. Plus maybe because I was nervous doing it the first time I must have been too slow because the sudds was filling up over the trash collecter too high and I was running out of the shampoo mix too soon and I had to refill twice lol!! But it was a fun experience😊.
Remember do small 1 metre square parts of the carpet first with the foam an before it dries turn off the shampoo and brush the foam in, then do another square metre the same. Just move slowly but steadily, the results will be amazing
I love my Avalir!😍 I recently bought a Dyson vacuum but noticed itis hard to push. I love my Avalir. Great on Carpet and Floors. And it looks BADASS. Performance is the best!!! Only concern is that it's heavy and hard to assemble. But you'll get what you pay for. I love you Kirby😍😍!
I love my new Hoover Avalir - cleans brilliant you need to play with it to find out the best way to get the most out the Hoover - I have a G4 and Legend 11 all unit work brilliant 👍
I think shes English, they call vacuuming "hoovering" on account of back in the day Hoover was big in England also the English are known for saying "brilliant" often.
Kirby and Rainbow the two best vacuums in the world do not have rewinding cords because the cord rewinds always break and these machine have a lifespan of 50 years plus
No one in their right mind pays 3K. You haggle down to about $1000-1200 IMHO worth it, I have a 70 year old kirby that still works- other vacuums last 1-5 years.
Wyvern I disagree that normal vacuums always break that fast. I have a cheap Bissel that is over 10 years old & still working great. But I agree with you on the first part. It took some haggling but we eventually got the price down to $1200. Even so, it’s kind of a shady business practice for Kirby to hard sell these for $3000.
Hey Kirby, the idiot I took my Avalir to to fix the transmission's axle from ratcheting lost the two screws holding the power cord to to the top housing and twisted off a screw in the bottom housing. Any help?
So I've gone through 2 belts within 1 year, the first one got hot and snapped on me while I was vacuuming. Maybe I was cleaning with the unit too close towards my carpet. Sometimes the green light jitters and flickers really fast as if it was slightly catching something. Is this common? I'm afraid I'm operating it incorrectly, my belt is starting to thin and looks like I'm going to need ANOTHER replacement.
I've been using the same belt for 3 hard years without any issues. I don't have this model shown here but the old one and it's a tank, best cleaning system I've ever purchased!
The Kirby Company there is one thing that I would like you to tell you engineering department they need to see if they can put the toggle switch back on the newer models like the ultimate g diamond had that was a nice addition to the Kirby and it disappointed me when they got rid of it
Kirby Vacuum Collector & Fixerr You are correct. The 100th Anniversary notation on the Avalir unit is a special feature that will only appear for a limited time. Future Avalir units will not have the 100th logo on them.
I have two questions 1. Is there a chance that you could make more original looking parts for older models? Example: old aluminum fans, old 40s and 50s hoses with the fabric on the, original looking bags, and original colored parts 2. Can you possibly make a special edition Kirby identical to the early 50s models but sold in stores?
+Kirby Vacuum Collector & Fixer Thank you for the suggestions. We try to supply original parts for the older models as much as possible, but sometimes it just isn't possible so we substitute similar parts from newer models. I will share your suggestions with our engineering department.
+The Kirby Company and another thing Even though you say the eleven blade polymer fan has the most suction I have done a retro fit of a sanitronic ten blade aluminum fan in my G4 and the G4 had increased performance Shen I did tests. I did a baking soda clean up test between the G4 with old metal fan vs Kirby diamond edition with polymer fan and the G4 won every time. I switched the fans so the diamond had the older metal fan and the G4 had the polymer fan. The diamond won that time. I'm not saying your wrong, it's just the fact that that's what I got with those tests.
VacuumCollector FixerEnthusiast When hell freezes over. Kirby isn't known to release new thing all the time. Expect the Avalir to be around for a while.
I don’t like how they explained the toe touch control, you should never lower it all the way to the floor and then raise it one notch at a time, in fact you should do the opposite which is lower it one notch at a time until you hear a change in the pitch of the motor, this means Kirby has sealed to the carpet, then lower the toe touch pedal one more time. That’s how it’s always been explained by Kirby and anyone else and that’s the universal way to adjust a Kirby. I’m not sure why they decided to explain it like this in this video.

Marryann claritan if your Kirby is older the light is on the opposite side from the newer ones which will make it so you light does not come on one thing you can do and I do it with my G4 is switch the bearing cover on the brush roll they pop off if you pull on them and it makes it so you can use newer brushes with older Kirbys but I'm not sure if the new brushes work with the Kirby before the G3
Marryann claritan your is an older style than I've never worked on a legend 2 the only old one that I have worked on is an omega but that one I think is different then yours it's a lot different from the g series ones

You would think asking $3000 it would be easier to use and you would have a cord rewind and it would be quiet.
Kirby and Rainbow the two best vacuums in the world do not have rewinding cords because the cord rewinds always break and these machine have a lifespan of 50 years plus
No one in their right mind pays 3K.
You haggle down to about $1000-1200

I'm afraid I'm operating it incorrectly, my belt is starting to thin and looks like I'm going to need ANOTHER replacement.
If the green light flickers on and off its cause its to far down make sure you click the adjustment type diwn until you hear a muffle than once more
Lower head to carpet until you hear the bristles hum then lower one more click down
I've been using the same belt for 3 hard years without any issues. I don't have this model shown here but the old one and it's a tank, best cleaning system I've ever purchased!

They won't bring it back. The president that took over during the development of the Sentria canned the idea because he wanted to save money.
Will all Avalirs made after Kirby's 100th year have 100th Anniversary on it? The G4 had 80th Anniversary on it for 1 year.
