The new Kirby has finally come out! It's called the Avalir. It's the 100th anniversary of Kirby, and I think it looks pretty slick. We were all expecting a total redesign since this base model has been used for 25 years, but I guess we'll have to wait a few more years. 

Here's a picture of the brochure.

The Kirby dealer I use has called and and in formed me the Avalirs should be available in my area well after Christmas.He will call back when they are available to him to sell.So--just have to wait.Remember the older Sentria 2 have to be sold out first.
