Hi NumaticVacuum. You can select the cleaning height by listening to the change in the motor's tone as you mentioned. For those that aren't sure about the change in tone, or if they what a more definite way to confirm they are at the proper cleaning height, our testing confirms that it is best to use the Toe Touch Control to lower the unit all the way down, and then use the bottom pedal to raise the unit to the proper height depending on the type of carpet you are cleaning.
Hi Jim, There is a magnet in the end of the brush roll. When the brush roll and magnet spin, it powers the Brush Roll Performance Indicator light. When the light is on, you can tell the brush roll is spinning.
Hi Jedi725. The Sentria II combines all of the improvements that were made to the original Sentria model over the past several years into a new color scheme. These improvements include an improved Mini Em-tor that is easier to grip and has higher airflow. The F-Style filter bags are easier to attach. A durable polymer base pan reduced the unit weight. And, the handle now locks the base for easier carrying.
it seems like kirby makes a very solid machine but they dont seem to have changed a whole lot since the introduction of the tech drive in G3 models. seems like the cosmetics changed but the mechanicals remain the same. one of the absolutely awesome things about kirby that no other vacuum offers.... flexibility. you can easily take a tradition built in 1979 change the emptor to the mini heritage II style replace fill tube and bag adaptor; your 30+ year old machine can run state of the art bags
It doesn't show very well in this video ... but the option to store the unit on end is nice for those that have limited closet space or a tight area that they want to put the unit away into.
Nice product video Kirby, very different from previous ones, I am a little confused as to how the video shows how to use the toe touch control...the video tells you to lower it all the way down and then use the bottom pedal to lift it up one notch at a time...this is incorrect...right?
they worth it, but i personally would only buy new preowned ones online. they're usually used only few times but are for sale for 200-300 dollars on ebay
This new way of adjusting the brush roll height isn't very specific. What happened to lowering it until the tone of the motor changed, then lowering it one more notch?
My... what... is an ass? You left a word out, there, dude. What: my butt is an ass? "Your..." [something] "...is an ass." I guess... yeah, you were talking about my butt, but forgot to type the word. That would be true, though! Good thinking! But where were you trying to go with that statement? You've lost me. However, if you were trying (wrongfully, of course--especially today) to be mean to me for some unknown reason, then you'd have to use a different word than "your." And then I'd have to say that I hope you aren't this much of a senseless jerk for no good reason *every* Easter!
Like you need to hear this 6 years later, but the roller has magnets in it, and the light has a magnetic pickup that generates a tiny bit of electricity to light the LED when the magnets spin past it. A really cool application if I do say so.
The Sentria II doesn't work for you I notice everything just seems to go by soooo fast! And The screen says disposable filter bag but he says disposable bag! EM TOR not Emter! THIS FEELS WEIRD! I hope you make the next one more like the old ones!

We just got rid of the Kirby we had best thing ever... We'll never go back just sticking to sanitaire commercial vacuum with a cord that reaches everywhere!!'
My mom has a 1976 kirby still being used today. I recieved one for my wedding 15 years ago, and it looks and runs like NEW
Wow! It was your lucky day! We hope that Kirby provides you with many more years of service.

Thanks for the kind words! We're glad you like our new video.

Hi fhoneman, we're glad to hear your Kirby systems are still performing for you! They're built to last!
What a fine well done piece of machine.
How come this instructional video is very rushed/brief and not as long and detailed as the older instructional videos?
Kirbys are built to last I have found a few Kirbys in the trash and they still worked they are made very well

I love my Kirby Sentria I would like to get the Sentria ll I really like the way they look.
Question, I had to replace the roller, for a new roller what number should you use? Thanks in advance
they worth it, but i personally would only buy new preowned ones online. they're usually used only few times but are for sale for 200-300 dollars on ebay
My mom has this exact cleaner we currently have it in our garage because our house doesn’t have an actual carpet nor a built-in one

With the newest one,expect lots of improvements.
I'm confused; should the belt be ON or OFF for carpet vacuuming?
@@alan1413 Thank you! Appreciated!

How does the brush roll indicator light work?
Like you need to hear this 6 years later, but the roller has magnets in it, and the light has a magnetic pickup that generates a tiny bit of electricity to light the LED when the magnets spin past it.
A really cool application if I do say so.
I'm sure it will! Kirby is the best!
They even got it’s by my grandma’s doorstep

Come on Kirby. I was expecting something new from you guys. Hell, Dyson has introduced the latest Ball vacuum, and it's different from the DC15. Smh.
The quality of this video vs the older models is so much lower. Almost like it was an afterthought.

Jim Kirby created his first vacuum in 1906
Masahiro Sakurai created "Kirby's Dream Land" in 1992
Who copied who, now?
Looks like every other Kirby. Nothing new.
