Hertz,  I still disagree with what you read. The cleaning performance proclaimed by GreatVac about Kirby,  is not a  better performing motor which is the same on all Generations but the brushroll. Kirby changed on the G-5 on to Sentria the brushroll . Instead four 6" rows they went to eight 6" rows. The bristles are thinner and stiffer. They give a little better performance than previous brushrolls in cleaning and this is the only change made to enhance performance. According to an old  Kirby Distributor. This isn't the case; the airflow is better on the G6-Diamond edition from previous iterations, and the Sentria has even BETTER airflow thus improving performance over even the Diamon edition. If you read through the numbers on that link I sent you, it will show you that the Sentria is slightly more powerful.

You nailed it......once you put a sentria brushroll on any g series....they all perform the same...no diff whatsoever ... thats been my findings also  in side by side testing and actual use at the shop and at home.....none of us at the shop are  seeing any increase in performance after the br upgrade. Gotta say your dead on procare. turtle
