Kirby Ultimate Diamond Edition G7D
5 of 5 found this helpful The Kirby Diamond offers high quality construction and superior cleaning. It is a versatile, powerful machine. The use of plastic has been kept to a minimum. Most of the machine is polished cast aluminum. The Diamond will last decades if you simply perform routine maintenance.
I've had other vacuums in the past, such as Hoover, Sharp, and Eureka, and the Kirby Diamond far outperforms them.
The output 'emptor' to the collection bag is large, making it highly unlikely that it will clog. Mine has never clogged. The suction power is outstanding, and the machine will maintain the suction well into a full bag. The fan is durable, and will not break under normal use. It's not a shop vac, so don't go try and vacuum up construction debris.
Kirby makes an assortment of brush rolls, (stiff for pet lovers, regular for most users, and soft for delicate carpets and berber). You can set the depth of the brush roll, another nice feature. I have read that some people have trouble with pet hair with their Kirby, and my guess is that they are using an old or incorrect brush roll and possibly also are not using the correct brush depth. I have never had a problem.
The Diamond features rocker switch so you can go from high to low power. This is useful when you want to vacuum smaller rugs and need to keep them from getting sucked into the nozzle. Given the power of the machine, this is very handy.
This model, like all of the Generation series, is self-propelled. It takes very little effort to get the vacuum into motion. I found this feature well designed.
It is a rather bulky, heavy machine, and it will take some getting used to. Most people will not want to carry this machine up and down stairs. However, you can attach a long extension hose and do the stairs with the attachments--it will hardly lose any suction, even with a 12 foot hose. There is plenty of suction to get the job done.
Kirby offers a wide assortment of attachments, including extension wands for cleaning under furniture and the fridge, as well as attachments for floor buffing and carpet cleaning. And yes, I have used them and these attachments actually work. There are numerous offerings on eBay for these and you can grab some terrific deals if you are diligent.
The Kirby Allergen Control carpet shampoo is a good product. I tried it with the carpet attachment on the Diamond and was very surprised with the results. The Allergen Reduction vacuum bags are another well designed product. They are high capacity and need infrequent replacement. Not cheap, but in my experience they helped reduce the dust and pollen in the house.
Overall, I've found the Kirby Diamond to be an excellent vacuum, and the house is much cleaner since I began using it. I recommend it without reservation.

It works
1 of 1 found this helpful Placed bait in the basement and garage and it was partially eaten in just 24 hours. The mice are definitely consuming it. To protect other animals, I’m putting it into plastic bait traps (from another brand) and they fit fairly well into them.
I have used this brand in the past with good results. Recommended.

Good replacement bag
The Filtrete HEPA bags for Kirby are not up to the same standard as the original green label Kirby HEPA 11 certified bags. They are close and will do fine for most everyone. The bags are slightly larger than the Kirby bags and you will give you slightly more suction power because of this.
