At 12.1 pounds it is the lightest of the three Signature Series machines by Kirby's listed weights, and it comes in Carbon Black only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKirby's comparison chart points the V530 at homes with mostly carpet and some hard floor, mid-size to large. It rates the V530 Excellent for deep carpet cleaning and for pet hair, Very Good on hard floors and Good on stairs. That matches the design: an upright you pull out and run across a room, with a stretch hose for the stairs and the sofa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it handles different floors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 13.5-inch nozzle has six height settings. The manual's advice is to use the lowest setting that still lets the machine move comfortably, and to go up one level if it feels hard to push. A three-way switch on the handle gives you off, on with the brush roll stopped (for hard floors), and on with the brush roll spinning (for carpet and rugs). When the logo on the nozzle is not lit, the brush roll is off, which is the setting Kirby recommends for bare floors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4-speed AirFlow Control dial changes suction without changing tools. Kirby suggests the lowest setting for drapes and delicate rugs and the highest for wall-to-wall carpet and hardwood, and a display on the machine shows which level you are on. If the V530 grabs a loose rug, the manual says to raise the nozzle or turn the dial down. LumiGuide LEDs in the nozzle light the floor ahead of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe hose, the cord and the tools\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8-foot stretch hose is built into the machine and parks on a magnetic dock. Pull the hose end off the dock while the brush roll is running and the roll shuts off automatically. Pair the hose with the crevice tool, upholstery tool or duster brush for baseboards, fabric and shelves. The 32-foot cord, with quick-release hooks and a clip on the back of the handle, gives a 40-foot cleaning radius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eV530 upright with Multi-Surface Power Nozzle and onboard stretch hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrevice tool, upholstery tool and duster brush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA PureAir HEPA filter bag already installed, plus an extra 3-pack of PureAir HEPA filter bags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"avon-copy__specifications\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel \/ color\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eV530CB, Carbon Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMain unit weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.1 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFilter bag capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 L (0.95 gal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePrimary nozzle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-Surface Power Nozzle, 13.5 in wide, 6 height settings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSuction motor \/ brush motor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1200 W \/ 250 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAirflow (motor rating)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131 CFM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrush speed (free spin)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8,900 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCord \/ hose\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 ft \/ 8 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTotal cleaning radius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSound level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e66 dBA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFiltration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePureAir Dual HEPA; full-system HEPA, independently certified to ASTM F3150 (per Kirby's owner's manual)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8-year limited warranty (motor and labor); 5 years on other parts and labor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvon Vacuums is an authorized Kirby dealer for the Signature Series, so this machine is sold new with Kirby's warranty, and warranty service is handled at our own repair bench in Avon, Connecticut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKirby's manual sets a simple rhythm.
