Kirby Sentria G10D Upright Vacuum

This is my Kirby Sentria upright vacuum that I bought from a pawn shop in my area. I bought this vacuum after wanting a modern G series Kirby for some time especially one the recently updated mini emptor like this has (which makes this a later model of the Sentria before the Sentria 2). This was in overall good condition other than needing the metal polished up. It comes with Kirby's Tech Drive system which is basically a self propelled drive motor mounted on the rear wheels and it is spring activated so when you push or pull on the machine, the handle slides forward and back (which eventually this might need a replacement since the transmission is showing some signs of wear, especially with it making a lot of noise). This also has the same issue as my G3 ( • Kirby Generation 3 (G3... ) did with the slide arm being seized up, so it made me have to tear this down and grease that to get it working again. This didn't come with it's attachments when I got it, so for the tool demo in this video, I borrowed the attachments from my Ultimate G Diamond Edition (www.youtube.co.... It features a 7.0 amp motor with direct air design and takes S-Style Bags with Micron Magic filtration (this example is running the HEPA bags which is pretty pricey but in the end, it filters way better and increases and maintains performance throughout the vacuum cycle). The suction is great (especially in tool mode, it's the best on any direct air vacuum I've used to date), the airflow is fantastic (ever since I put an Ultimate G style fan in it), and the agitation is incredible (since I replaced the brush roll with a newer Ultimate G Style brush roll). My only complaints about this machine is that it's quite heavy, and it's sometimes inconvenient to stop and go to the closet to fetch the attachments. Overall, I really love this vacuum.

Your thorough review has helped me get to know the how to's. Thx so much! I have a 2nd hand, bought at a thrift store w/accessories for $15 same model, the cord was taped on together, it finally pulled apart & I went to a dealer said the cord could be replaced. I did get a chance to try it b4 the cord tore apart and everything was working great. ( I bought a Dyson dc33 thrifted, unfortunately the suction is not picking up dirt, I noticed the hose where it click on the back to the handle is not even attached tightly, cuz it won't click in, it hangs loosely. I wonder if thats causing problem to suction on the floor head.) I like the power of the Kirby does a thorough clean seems to pick up more dirt in less time to clean.( I would rather invest my money in getting a new cord for the Kirby, than waste money on the Dyson expensive to repair.. I feel the Kirby's robust built & all around functionality will last me longer in the long term.( it sucks that the money i wasted to get that Dyson I could've got a new Kirby cord. I was told by the dealer $50.) It may be heavy, but I've tried other vacuums & everything else does not compare to the power of the Kirby.

Dyson's are pretty complex to work on unlike Kirby's.

There is a plastic clip on base for hard floors that has a brush and prevents any metal contact with the floor. First new accessory I bought for my second hand G7D. The short grip handle is a great attachment when using with a hose in canister vac configuration. Drags easy without tipping and eases carry to new locations. Though color may vary, just about every part is still available new and fairly easy to service.

Just got one of these for $80 came with all the attachments plus the shampooer! I love this machine and it will be replacing my Aerus Electrolux Epic 3500 Sr.

Kirby is good, but you can’t beat an Aerus/Electrolux machine.

I have a December 2010 (basically a 2011) Sentria and it has the straight zipper and updated emtor. I love it. Although I do miss the side zipper (my G7 has it) I feel it gives you better access to the bag.

Nice description of the Sentria , 2nd Kirby I had from new 👌👌

[@austinhook2324]

I love this Kirby

[@rvrskng]

Used to have this same one, don't remember the year, but It might have been 2012. I sold it a couple months ago for $200 on ebay, because it was very shiny like new. Some just sell Kirbys like its a new Dirt Devil. I got that one for $20. I also have a Sentria II that I got for $30, and a duplicate for $5.

Well worth it 👌 You Scored 👍 !!!

Also , Be careful with the handle, Not as strong as G6.

The "ratcheting" of the transmission is the Cam Bracket. Those are a cheap and easy replacement. No need to replace the whole transmission. I am pretty sure there's a KZbin video on replacing the transmission. Sorry to be nit picky.

The Ultimate G is the best

[@graysonsvacsandmowers5426]
