Kirby Vacuum Ultimate G Series (and Diamond Edition) Owner Video Part 1 

I remember just watching this on VHS randomly after school 🏫 or during the summer since we didn’t have cable

We got this model (Diamond Edition) back in 2002 or 2003, still going strong in 2019! We usually have 2 vacuums on hand in the house. we have gone through a hoover, Dyson dc07, and Eureka all lived their lives and eventually broke down while the Kirby is still going like new. Yes, they are pricy, but if you think about it, the value really shines through! This is not even taking account of the fact that we are on our second carpet cleaner backup for jobs and the Kirby does an amazing job carpet cleaning. Just wanted to share this. :)

I just found one of these machines on the side of the road, discarded. I’m ordering some bags and watching these videos to prepare for a test run. Pretty excited!

When I was like 2-3 years old this is what I used to love watching.

I grew up with this unit. I recently received one of these from a vacuum shop for free as the technician didn't have time to fix the neutral-drive pedal. So I pulled the unit apart in my dad's shop, blew it out with the compressor, washed the bag, sanded the metal from 3000 to 6000 grit, polished with Mothers, replaced the rubber on the head, gave it a general tune up, and fixed that pedal, and now it's better than it was when I was five years old. I reach for this machine more than my Avalir, and even my Dyson that I love.

Mom passed away and the 1976 2CB that she bought back then is currently being rebuilt by Kirby for my dad. This Diamond edition is one of my favorite designs and working on getting one for myself. I'm glad to see Kirby still around and hope they keep it up. Newer vacuums might have some convenient advantages but will never clean as well or last as long as a Kirby.

No real resolution to "problem" but I don't think it is a real problem. I see many videos and threads with Kirby's having exact noise. I read some Tech drive systems of years past are just a little noisier than newer ones. I am very pleased with it. The suction is so powerful it actually separates the carpet from the padding. I can tell because when I walk on it, I hear the plastic backing compressing back down. I have high end carpet and padding as well. This never happened with my other vacs. Kirby's are the only vac I will use for now on. Searching craigslist daily for another to use in upstairs of house. You would be amazed at how cheaply a Kirby made in the last 10 years can be had for on craigslist. So many people buy them, use them for a few years and sell them for pennies to the dollar. Much respect for Kirby for monitoring this channel and responding to posts!

I've had my Ultimate G Diamond Edition for years, it is the best vacuum cleaner I've ever owned. We have two vacuums, 1 is a bagless which is good for picking up messy stuff (spilling cereal or kitty litter for example), but I notice even if I vacuum the house with it, and go over with the Kirby, the Kirby still picks up dirt, and the carpets even smell cleaner.

Kirby are by far the best vacuum cleaners I've ever used. Nearly indestructible, powerful enough to pick up pretty much anything up to and including incautious pets, and pretty light to use thanks to the driven wheels. Absolutely demolishes any other vacuum I've used in those (for me, most important) criteria. My only complaint is that they're so expensive in the first place, but then you get what you pay for I guess.

Hi Stillwander. The vast majority of anything you vacuum up with a Kirby system(including cat litter) will end up in the disposable filter bag. Because the Kirby system is so powerful, it can suck up heavy objects (like a jeweled ring) that other vacuums leave behind. If the object is too heavy to travel up the fill tube into the disposable filter, it will settle into the Mini Emtor where it can be easily retrieved.

Hi kirby I've just brought an avalir kirby vacuum and I had a dyson and I vacumm with the Dyson and then went over with the avalir and the bag was full. great vacuum don't stop making them they are brilliant cleansers

Hi colinatlantic, we don't remember for certain, but it is doubtful that it is the same model in all 3 videos. The Ultimate G Series Diamond Edition is the only model with the Normal/Delicate switch. Because it was an upgrade to the original Ultimate G Series model, they both used the same owner video. A short section explaining the Normal/Delicate switch was added to the version of the video packed with the Diamond Edition model.

In 1993 I bought a generation 3 While I worked in a fully carpeted tree storie 45 apartments building. This building was behemoth 40x4 feet short pile olive green color with small beige diamond motive carpet hallway. When I told the sales person that I needed it for the building, he said that he did not recommend it because the machine was not build for commercial use, and If I use it for that purpose the warranty would be voided. I went ahead and use my generation for 3 days a week with no problem for around five years. When my wooden roller beauty got too tangled up with hairs and I lost a bit of the rubber that go over the rear plastic wheels, and I thought It needed a bit of looking after, I take it took it for a tune up at my nearest dealer at A&M merchandise in Belleville NJ. And when they call me I was presented with a high polished sparkling clean machine like new. Later on around 2001 someone move out and left behind a dirty and abused G5 and I took it to my dealer and the rest is history. Short story long… I have never used a more complete cleaning system like the Kirby. One drawback is that it’s a bit heavy. But who cares anyway. I just love my vacuums and so do my family. The area I

found two Kirby's on the side of the road in our neighborhood...I knew I had to rescue these two historic vacs, took them home....one is a Model 513, and the other is a Heritage 84, the 84 doesn't run but is being restored to run, while the Model 513 runs perfectly. Just ordered a Diamond Edition Ultimate G renewed, can't wait to use it lol

I used to sell this edition...feels like yesterday, but when I see them in for sale ads all oxidized and being called "vintage", I feel old...lol

just got an ultimate G yesterday true Quality! thanks for making a reliable easy to use, long lasting machine! truly outstanding :)

Hi Donnie. Numerous, continual improvements have been made to the Kirby system across all models, including the Gsix all the way to the current Sentria II.

I got mine 18 years ago and still works perfectly fine. I just used it yesterday. Things fucking awesome and sucks harder than anything else (that’s what she said.)

The aesthetic of this video is everything

The "Grasshopper" model was worked by a bellows system, and the Vacuette non-electric used a rotating brush on a gear system to clean the floor. Good questions. Thanks for asking!

This is my parents vacuum, and I forgot how to work it because it’s been a while since I’ve vacuumed with it since I usually use my dad shop vac, so I’m so glad I found this

Although Kirby vacuums are overpriced and sold by sleazy salesmen I love my Dual Sanitronic and Sentria! Beautifully finished and with a nice- healthy sound! Handy attachments, abd just looks perfect in a mid-century home like mine!

dear Kirby company, do you know the name of the song at the beginning of this video?? it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. :)

My mom bought this since 2004-05 and we still have it

Hi KIRBY. I own a KIRBY Legend 2, KIRBY Dual Sanitronic 50, and a KIRBY Tradition vacuum cleaner and they still works.

Still works great 2022 dad had it forever now it’s mine. Updated it with a powerful led bulb.

The Normal/Delicate switch on the Diamond Edition version had the same function as the Suction Relief Vent used on the rug nozzle for models 516 to Tradition.

Hi MixerVM. You are correct, the regular Ultimate G series does not have the normal-delicate switch. The Ultimate G series Diamond Edition does. Because the models are so similar otherwise, we only posted on version of the video on RU-vid.

Before this on the VHS tape they have a Kirby Upright in a test with "dust" from 1996!

My family has been using a Kirby since the ‘80s with the Heritage II. they don’t make ‘‘em like they use to

OMG I grew up with one of these lasted over 10years! Indestructible for sure lol

Hello Kirby Company. It's Me Captain Sir Shawn David Capps Here. My Diamond Edition Is Extremely Functional. I Am Member Kirby Family. I Really Enjoy The Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition.

Kirby i cannot thank you enough for posting this ps. is this the lady from the G3 and G5 video. I thought the Diamond was the only one with the delicate switch

i've had the Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition from 2009 to 2010 and it has been my favorite Kirby. but i sold it and got an Oreck XL Select

It’s 2022 I still have my from 15+ years ago, thing is MINT

Just bought one of these for $30 today.

Hi ACampbell0304. The Kirby system includes a 3-year limited warranty for the original purchaser. If you've picked up a used one, there is no additional warranty provided. A local independent Kirby distributor can assist you with service and repairs of your system. You can also contact The Kirby Company directly at 1-800-437-7170 for assistance and supplies. We hope you enjoy your Kirby system!

Thanks for the vid, I needed it for my kirby's

Sorry for the delay in replying. We missed your post on our feed. The video is scripted and provided to the video company before filming begings. The video copmany hires a professional actor to do the voiceovers.

@Kirby next model needs to add swivel front wheels...hint hint...

Perché nn fate il video della aspirapolvere Daiamond Ultimate G ultimation.

Good refresher vids' and I sure do love mine!

I have one too! It's is so great. I also have the G5

Do you have a video on showing how to detail a vehicle using the shampoo atchment

Have the same one had it for years. Any suggestions on how the suction can improve??? It’s not picking up as it once did. Anyone?????

Oh Kirby's are awesome! I have a Classic 3! The only complaint from me is that they are heavy! Is the Sentria or Sentria 2 light or heavy

where would cat litter go in any of the kirby the bag or mini emptor (mispelled?) ?

Do you know the background sound at the beginning of the video? I like it! It reminds me of a life insurance commercial.

Can any other filter bag fit into Kirby cleaners?

What they don't tell you is because it's metal it corrodes and tarnishs and if you have a mobility probably forget it! Plus you can't get under things like newer vacuums!

how is the sentria vs the kirby g6 and Ultimate G Series on performance air flow and rpm and suction power

Getting started 3:25

Sorry, we don't know the name of the music ... or if it even has a name :)

Could you do a video of the kirby 509 and 516 please?? Love your videos:-)

Wow they don't even show you this when you sell them!

My G Dwaine gave me 5 bucks for weed. That made him an Ultimate G

We have owned our Kirby G for nearly 20 years and are very pleased with it. However, I need a few repairs but cannot afford to take it in to an authorized dealer at this time. Is there any DIY repair sites that could help me?

@Kirby the tube underneath won't spin to sweep the rug. Is it because the bag is full. Please help.

I have an odd question I hope can be answered. I saw on the news a story about a boy with autism who loved vacuums particularly Kirby. I was curious how to go about designing a Kirby vacuum named after this boy and have all proceeds go to autism study/awareness? If anyone can answered that would be great thank you.

No offense but a Kirby is the farthest thing from s I m p l e for a vacuum. I still love em :D

What music is it by jake

Does this model have an Improved exhaust system prevents dust from blowing across hard floors or was this only on the diamond edition?

what year is this from?

Question for Kirby Co: My newly acquired Ultimate G makes a scratching or static noise when the power assist drive is engaged (I push or pull on handle). I have seen this on some other videos of Kirby G series. Is this a normal noise? It is quick to respond so I am thinking (hoping) it is.

ive had this vacuum for like 13 years now..... shits heavy as fuck

How much is Kirby diamond series?

I think its more of a noise like a hydraulic hose would make. More of a whining noise.

Since when does the regular Ultimate G have a normal-delicate switch?

Are the bags small or is it the camera?

My parents Own this

My grandma had 2 of them when I was young lol

thanks for being helpful..

Kirby can you trade a Sentria I to get the avalir 2

Does this version have the same narraitor as the G6 version?

If Kirby goes back to before electricity was even an idea how were they powered?

Well I got the VHS tape of this.

OK THANKS

what year did the ultimate G come out

Hi jhon riadi. We have forwarded your contact information to our customer relations department. They will contact you and help you find a distributor near your location.

What a behemoth! Why would anyone want a vacuum cleaner that is that large and heavy with all those tools and accessories? You'll need a whole nuther room to store it in! I would really hate to live in a two or more story home with that monster and have to carry it up and down steps!

500th official like!!!!!!!!

I have had this vacuum my whole life, I hate it so much, always been such a pain to maneuver

I have this one since 2004 and it's perfect but a year ago transmission pedal just fell of.
