Kirby Avalir 2 Vacuum Review 2018

Airflow - at the floor head we measured 5079 fpm, or 132 cfm. For context the Dyson Ball Animal 2 which is one of the best regular consumer vacuums in the airflow category measured only 2126 fpm. The Kirby has more than double the amount of airflow of the most powerful model in Dyson’s lineup, which is pretty crazy if you think about it. That means the Avalir 2 pretty much sucks up everything in its way, and can do things that other vacuums just cant do. In canister mode, with the hard floor attachment, the airflow measured 2736 fpm, again for context the Dyson V10 which has the highest airflow of any cordless vacuum we know of measured 1929 fpm at the cleaner head, so the Kirby has about 30% more airflow than they Dyson V10 even is canister mode.
