  • I bought it 3 days ago and made $600.00 with it over the weekend. I have a lawncare service and I just called some of my wealthier clients to see if they would be interested in having their floors cleaned before the holidays.

  • Just so everyone knows... I bought one Friday brand new. It came with everything but the floor buffer and I got it for $1100. I know some people get them cheaper but you don't have to pay 2 or 3k for these machines. Sorry if I just cost anyone their $1400 commission.

  • wait you paid 220$? i know its not new but i Lithuania it costs from 3 to 4k $ ! (new)

  • Ok thanks

    

  • Why does the headlight blink? No other kirby sentria ive seen does that?  Its it just the year or something?

  • @kirbyman2000 I have no idea why it blinks, it might have something to do with the fact that its LED's and not a bulb?

  • Sebo (made in Germany) Vacuums are actually better. More reliable and significantly easier to use. They are about $800 for the popular standard model

  • I love this Vacuum, and I just got a job working for Kirby. Yeah yeah, I know a lot of people wouldn't want to go to folks homes, but I would! I love this vacuum, and I hope I succeed.

    The product speaks for itself. Wish me luck!

  • @BarefootArizona Good luck to you, I think its a great machine too!

  • @hoover1060 I appreciate that. Today was my first day of training and I love the machine! Oh my gosh, I gotta have one.haha

    It's going to be easy to sell these. My charming personality doesn't hurt either ; )

  • @BarefootArizona You will succeed as a Kirby seller, JUST do your best and all will be fine. Research the mechanics of the machine in detail though so you will be able to answer any questions you get.I now own 2 Kirby vacuums, 1 Kirby G4 and 1 Kirby G6 both are my favourite models.I want to buy and modify a G6 Kirby, by rebuilding the G6 and placing a Diamond motor into the black G6 base housing.I may need to either spray paint a Diamond shell black, or ask Kirby to build a black shell for me.

  • I absolutely love my new Sentria!! People are quick to tell you what a waste of money it is, but I'm glad I have one. It's built like a tank, and it works hard all day like a diesel truck! The shampoo attachement is amazing. Anyone who talks trash needs to use one first.

  • how does this compare o the legend and G seris

  • dude i love ur kirby collection theyre beautful

  • I'm jelous i would love to have a big room full of vacuum cleaners

  • need to get me one of these

  • i am a kirby salesman anyone who wants a kirby message me

    

  • @urbansktrboi Hello, can you help? I live in the UK and I now own 2 Kirby vacuums, 1 Kirby G4 and 1 Kirby G6 both are my favourite models. However I want to buy a second G6 Kirby and modify it, by rebuilding the G6 and placing a Diamond motor into the black G6 base housing.I may need to either spray paint a Diamond shell black, or ask Kirby to build a black shell for me.Can Kirby build a black (Kirby Ultimate Diamond ) sized base housing by request? to build a G6, but with 2speed diamond motor.

  • Does the LED headlight improve visibility better than a standard light bulb?

  • @TheyCrawlOnWalls its about the same, I really have not noticed a huge difference.

  • i just got a 2007 Kirby Sentria for $120.00 at a yard sale and it had ever thing and its paper work these people paid $1856.95 for it i got it for $120 yes :)

  • @kirbvacman94 I'd say you got a deal!

  • The only thing I hate is that is is heavy but it is worth it

  • KIrby makes Dyson look like a feather duster!

  • Nice vid. Besides exterior styling is there any differance between the sentria and the Ultimate G non-Diamond Edition? Or is there newer technology in the sentria as well?

  • @Kaykonna the only difference really is the new model has an LED headlight, and the motor has a littler higher RPM

  • kirby SENTRIA IS THE BEST VACUUM IN THE WORLD! I WORK FOR THE KIRBY COMPANY IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND. IF ANYONE LIKE TO PURCHASE A KIRBY OR SEE DEMOSTRATION IN VA OR MD OFFICIALY PLEASE CONTACT ME AT aadreams01@yahoo.com or if you have any question. '''''''' PLEASE BE AWARE! NEVER BUY KIRBY SYSTEM ONLINE ON EBAY OR ANY OTHER INTERNET WEBSITE BECAUSE THEY ARE USUALLY STOLEN OR USED; AND DOES NOT COME WITH LIFETIME WARRANTY. THANKS

  • I have the one , works great.

  • man,your collectoin is huge!you must have like 400 vacuum cleaners or something!

  • @vacguy99 not 400... maybe more like 250... I have too many!!

  • @hoover1060 does that one have the same style bag zipper like the utimate g?

  • @hoover1060 we got a sentria

  • I'm happy with my dyson DC23.

  • @kkjgg112391 so am i

  • Hi. WOW love your collection. Cant believe you only paid $450 for you sentria. Over here in the UK they are very expensive but are slowly becoming cheaper. A brand new sentria of kirby costs £2000 over here. As much as i love kirby i wouldn't pay that. I do intend getting one as they look great. I agree with one of ur comments about the underhand tactics of the kirby sales reps. I had a demo once when it was the G5 and i did buy it only because i was intending to and they took 3 hours.

  • actually I paid less than $250 for this one...

  • Hi, If you trade in an old kirby or another vacuum you will get money and keep bargaining with the man i got mine for £850 only. Excellent value which includes the shampooing kit and all the attachments brand new as well as the stretch hose for free all from the actual kirby dealer :-) Great vid btw i love the sentria and my miele

  • Hi everyone im a Kirby Dealer in the UK if you need information on how to purchase one or a demo just send me a message :)

    I mainly deal in the west midlands area but if your outside this region im sure we can help

  • Can you please make a video of your collection! if you could that would be great. Love your sentria system by the way.

  • I have two videos posted of my collection already, are those what you were looking for?

  • Thanks for the video and comments, you all helped me decide to shop for a Sentria for my 2 story home.

    I started with one near new Sentria with all attachments for $450, and 2 months later another one for $400, as carrying the one unit up & down stairs took effort.

    These things are HEAVY to carry, but SWEET & EASY TO USE. Very powerful & durable! Easy to REUSE the bags too. I take em outside & shake em out into trash!

    Thanks to all for your comments & videos about the Kirby vaccums!

  • why not,??? plz explain

  • Hey Hoover1060, I am a collector as well, I always try to find vacs in good wills, thrift stores and even in the garbage but we only find ones that smoke or can no longer be used/fixed. Where do you get all of your vacs... A web page, ebay craigs, where please lemme know... thx.

  • My stuff is 30+ years of hunting, in the trash, junk stores, garage sales, stuff like that. Also more than a few were given by friends & relatives.

  • No attachments? Where does the hose and nozzles connect to?

  • The front on the vacuum IS an attachment with the brush. You take that off and attach your hose onto the nose of it. it's a bit more time consuming then to have it ready to go, but it works better then plastic vac for sure. Just don't pay more than $600 for a new one with everything made for it. 2497 is a 2000 mark up.

  • see my page lots of kirby videos

  • For those of you who didn't purchase a Kirby from a Dealer/Distributor, you're stupid. You're not going to have any warrantys or anything so if anything happens to it, they won't honor the warranty...

  • well for me, this cleaner is part of a collection, so warranty is kind of a moot point, since it receives minimal use.

  • then why am i trying to sell these fkin things for 2 grand ???

  • Because the ones on Ebay are reconditioned...not NEW.

  • Buy a Sentria on ebay for about $500.

  • $1.800 why would some one in ther right mind pay that kinda cash for a vacuum dont get me roung i love kirby but ther just no way in hell for a glass of ice water would i pay that much for a VACUUM ill buy them every day for 50 but not 1.800

  • Noting beats the cleaning power of Kirby, nothing. Why even vacuum with a POS plastic vacuum that doesn't even clean the cartpet? We've had Dirt Devils, Eureka and Dysons, ALL have been beat terribly by the Sentria. The others just don't get all the dirt out of the carpet, even if you make 100 passes in the same spot.

  • You are correct! I used to sell Kirby's back in the mid 1980's we were just coming out of a recession and jobs were hard to find! I recently bought a G4, because of the plastic junk vacuums out there, I went back to the Kirby. While I don't like the high pressure sales tactics that they employ, I do like equipment quality and functionality . Kirby sucks really hard!

  • These vacuums are excellent. I just got the sentria, barely used and only a year old, for $400. My in-laws have a kirby vacuum and have had it for about 20 years--and have never had a problem come up with it. You pay a lot of money for them, unless you can find a used one like I did for a great price...but they last forever!

  • Yes, it is possible,...on Ebay. That's where I bought mine for $320 brand new w/ parts in box with warranty!

  • i work for kirby and there is no way a person bought one for 50 or even 200 dollars cause the cost to make one is ten times the amount

  • hahaha  well then this will make your ass into a pin hole i just bout a g4 im great looking and working order i ONLY PAYD $20 FOR HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

  • aahhaaahahah fuck thats soooooooo true

  • the light is for reflecting glass particles...

  • pretty much all american vacuums have headlights

  • MSRP WHaaaa! I bet you're on a % or a 1050 split or something with a TL? Has your Distributor/Factory Dealer told you that he can purchase the machines diectly from Kirby for $350-$450? I've been present at closings of cash deals on new achines for $650.00

  • The Kirby company does not let everybody and their uncle purchase units directly from the factory.

  • Yes, I know. I worked in the business for some time. Doesn't change the fact that they are dirt cheap from the factory to the next person in the sales chain ...

  • I live here in Orlando, FL and work selling Kirby Vacuums.

    If you would like to schedule a free side by side comparison of the Kirby to your vacuum,I can show you how much Dirt/Dust YOU DONT SEE!

    Its very alarming.

    Call anytime,

  • Remember that selling isn't telling.

  • holy shit u got that pritty cheap cause i work for kirby, just selling then and the retail price is 2,500 $

  • I spent $50 for my sentria!

  • In Italy the Kirby is a fraud, a predicament.

    In Italy it is sold beginning from the 4200 euro!!Their methodologies of sale are incorrect, disloyal and aggressive towards the clients and of the same sellers.I know these things, because I have worked there and I have not even had a cent of Euro.

    THIEVISH KIRBY!!!

  • I tried one of these machines out in my local Kirby shop in Plano, TX. I was amazed at how the Sentria just glided across the carpet! To tell you the truth, I have NEVER EVER used a self-propelled Kirby in my life and I was AMAZED by the difference!

  • Thats my favorite part, the way it glides across the carpeting, so smooth and fluid. It really feels nice!

  • I know if only I could afford it but I don't have a job or any money!

  • you're not alone in that one my friend....

  • Can you please show us a video of you washing your carpets with the kirby. I want to see how well it washes carpets. oh and how much did you buy it for. thanks

  • Man I am so glad to see all of these people really digging thier Kirbys... awesome awesome but I don't think the company will last much longer... people in corporate are really screwing things up... but it is an awesome machine

  • the headlamp flashes when the roller is too close to the floor, needs to adjust height adjustment. :)

  • I noticed that the headlamp blinked when it was switched off; is this normal?

    (Great video, by the way. Thanks!)

  • I don't know if its normal or not, I don't know anyone else who has one to compare!

  • yes... the headlight is supposed to flash when the machine shuts off

  • The flashing of the bulb is normal. I am a kirby dealer. I see it all the time. It works the same way that the Led for the brushroll works. If you see it as a problem call your local distributor. We stand behind our product. Unless you bought it from ebay. Then it voids the warranty. thanks for the great video. Happy Cleaning!

  • I take your house is very clean since you collect vacuums.

  • So - is the headlight supposed to "blink" when it's turned off like that?

  • Sentrias will pick up AAAALLLL that dog fur and dirt on the carpet! Their the BEST! I have two cats, one dog, and a rabbit that occassionally hops around the house. And two little sisters who always track in the dirt. Those things are great! And your carpet is geouges!

  • I'd love to visit your house. that's awesome.

  • Thanks for the nice words. We are in the greater Chicago area, perhaps someday you can visit.

  • It has a pretty cool headlight beam pattern with the LEDs now, but I am thinking of retrofitting a Sentria headlight board into my G5, just to see what it's like... :D

  • Or just go on ebay and get the same thing for less than $700... ;)

  • Yeah me too!!!!

  • I would like to see some of those older kirbys in action.

  • Is the tech-drive on? I CAN'T hear it lol

  • Am I imagining it, or is that headlight an LED one?

  • This is the LED headlight model

  • did hear dog bark at 0:05

  • Jeff,

    I will be calling my local Kirby dealer 2morrow @ 8 a.m. LOL!!! JK!!! I SO WANT 1 NOW!!! Cool vid and enjoy the aweSOME Kirby!!!

    :)
