i have a Gsix its a 2001 limited model, i like it allot. believe it or not i only paid $20 and there was nothing major wrong with it. i also have a 1981 heritage and a 1980 tradition. i love the tradition and its blue bag styling. the heritage has been in the family for 15 years and has been hands down the most reliable vacuum i have ever owned. hope to have it a long long time. i love kirby machines i just hope you stay in business another 100 years and continue to provide parts for my vacs
Hi Daconthocon78. The TechDrive was added to the G3 as an enhancement to the system. This automatic transmission senses which direction you are pushing the unit and how fast you are pushing it. Unlike a self-propelled vacuum, it does not "drag" you behind it. Units prior to TechDrive were were not too heavy to push ... units with TechDrive simply seem almost effortless to push.
Hi k3bab. Our service expert says the unit may need a slight tune-up or an adjustment in the transmission. Sometimes this will cause it to "skip" on certain carpets or in certain directions on carpet. It won't hurt the vacuum or the carpet though. Or, it could simply be a difference in the wear (high traffic areas for example) on the specific area of carpet it's happening on. Your local Kirby Distributor can assist you with a tune-up if necessary.
Hi Donnie. Many internal improvements have been made to the system since the G4 and G5 models. While your older unit can be rebuilt to its "like new" condition when it was purchased, it can not be upgraded to match a newer model.
I just my Kirby G6 i got earlier this week this is quite an upgrade from my Kirby G5 with a HEPA filtration system, smother tech drive, and the metal is in better shape than the G5.
On certain areas on the carpet then I push the vacuum forward, sometimes it shakes a bit. It mostly happens when I have it in drive, but it sometimes happens in neutral too. What might it be?
I don't thinks there was a difference in any of the Generation series besides minor changes like colors/patterns,location of the hande tilt latch, and a change of the shabe for the headlight hood, which I think they only changed on the UltimateG/Diamond edition
Hi Donnie, sorry for the slow reply. Please contact us a 1-800-437-7170 and our service team can provide you with rebuild information for your G4. Thank you.
Wow Andrew - you found an amazing deal on your Gsix! We plan to be here for another 100 years for you. Thanks for the kind words.
My mom has owned a G six since the early 2000’s. Awesome vacuum, still going strong.

The Kirby G6 turned out to be a very nice vacuum and i'm very happy that i wouldn't any other brand.

I just love seeing the machines when they are brand new, and shiny. It sets standards for any Kirby restoration.

I see a kirby g5 it's awesome to see brand new kirby g5 systems in a g six video!
Hi Donnie. There is no considerable difference between the motor speeds on these units.
Iam proud to be part of the kirby family I,have a g six and love it.
I plan to get a Kirby at the end of 2017 or beginning of 2018
I've been in the Kirby family since the Heritage II And now I'm the very proud owner of the Avalir.
I just my Kirby G6 i got earlier this week this is quite an upgrade from my Kirby G5 with a HEPA filtration system, smother tech drive, and the metal is in better shape than the G5.
WOW thankyou very much for this I really appreciate it! are there anymore to come?
YES BABY WHO HOO KEEP IT COMING
How come was a tech drive created on theg3 and on the new Kirby's? Was it because its heavy to push?

I love Kirby!!!
I googled "Show me the most 80s thing possible." I was not disappointed
how much wood it be to rebuilt a kirby to look now agein
by adding the mini emtor and Kevlar fan to the g4 would it work for the g4 .
am I able to put the kirby mini emptor / kevlar fan on the Kirby g4 would that work like the Kirby g6 / or would it work the same.
by adding the g6 mine emtor and the Kevlar fan to the Kirby g4 what difference will it make
am I able to crank up the rpms on the g4 and g6 for more power
would the kirby mini emptor also work for the Kirby g5
Was their any actual difference between a G6 or a G5

BBC600 - it's a Kirby G5.
how much would it be to manufacturer refurbished my Kirby g4
on the sentria what did thay do to crank up the rpms can that be done what the g4/g5
how is the Kirby sentria vs the kirby ultimate g in performance air flow and kirby suction power rpm.
would the metal fan work for the g4/g6
how is the motor speed on the g6 vs the g5/g4
