Diamond is the best vac I ever owned/used & I owned many.
Fantom Fury (dysons 1st), Dysons DC/ Animal, Hoover (many), Devil Devils, Electrolux, just too many to list.
This Diamonds hi/low switch is a great feature no other vacs have. No other Kirbys have it even, its only found on the Diamond. This added Low speed option helps keep it from sucking up small carpets as you pass nearby, nice time saver on quicky cleanups.
I have this Diamond & a 2001 G series also. But I really love the Diamond best because of its hi/low switch. But truth is, other than the hi/low feature they are the same vac. Diamond if I recall correctly actually has a better OEM brush roller too but you can simply upgrade any other G series with the Diamond roller & this only leaves the hi/low feature setting the other G's apart here.
You won't beat this companies warranty either. I bought my 2001 here well over a decade ago, not a single problem yet but 5yrs I didnt worry about it either. Dont be fooled with Kirby lifetime warranty bs either. Thats only the motors outer case, its so Kirby can state "it has a lifetime motor warranty" and be half truthful. Sales garbo'...they toss lifetime around so buyers think it is but warranty fine print says differently trust me. This corp gives 5yrs on it & they mean it.
My Vac looked & performs like a brand new Kirby. My Diamond was brand new so I know exactly how a new Kirbys supposed to do, my 2001 ran just as well.
Anyone buying a Kirby regardless where its from please go to YouTube & watch factory demos & Great Vacs vids too, even if you had an in-home demo you'll still learn something new there.
Watch the vids, buy a Kirby from here, a decade later you'll still be happy as chit you did it just like I am. ✌️
Work great and last a long time because they could be cleaned.
I had high hopes for the Prolux, but have found the suction not nearly as good as vacs that are much less expensive. The fact that the height is not adjustable adds to the lack of suction. The hose is very difficult to get in and out for using the tools.
Recently after vacuuming with my Prolux, I used my grandson's thrift store vac and was amazed at how much more dirt it picked up.
It cleaned my carpet very well. My carpet had not been cleaned for sometime. I was thinking of new carpet but now I don’t need to. Thank you
I have confidence my house air is cleaner cause of this machine
