Hi all,Bought a Kirby Vacuum Cleaner yesterday as they claimed it picked up 99.5% of the dirt compared to what's on today's market, which picks up 5%. But for those of them who have them at home, did you find them better than what you had previously?
My mother-in-law bought one and hated it. But naturally she's old and couldn't exactly figure out the way everything worked on it, they are more complicated to change over to a hose for different kinds of cleaning. Anyway, she gave it to her son and his girl friend. She didn't like it either. When the salesman came by our house luckily my wife remembered about the one her mother had bought. They were asking some ridiculous price$1200 or so I think. After they left I saw a bunch of brand new ones on OKorder for like $700 I think it was. Anyway, we got ours free from her brother and it does work very well. It will push stuff around if you get the head too low on the carpet, you have to raise the head up a little with the little adjusters on the side then lower it back down so you're deep cleaning again. They're built like a tank, but fairly easily to take apart if you need to work on it. I'd recommend it.
YES! my mom has one and she used it to clean the house and everything looks much better and cleaner. my dad has one as well (my parents r divorced) and when i visit him his carpets look all clean and everything. they DO make a difference.
i bought a kirby back in the 60's and still have it. it works great and i like that i can get parts for it when needed. expensive but worth every dollar i spent for it
Our Kirby has been great. We have pets in the house and its handled that really well. You do need to have it serviced every few years to keep it clean and performing at 100%
Hi, yes, I've had a Kirby vacuum for years.. I love it! My parents had one too, while I was growing up and the carpet looked great! I think that's one of the best investments my family and I've made. Good luck!
