WOW we had the same Vac cleaner and the Kirby before that was RED/GRAY, my Mom wouldn't vac with any other cleaner. They made a lot of noise but sucked in the dust. I found the bag really didn't filter the dust and it left a lot of dust on the furniture. Sadly I just use mine for the basement rugs now, the new parts are so $$$$$$.
