My parents bought one for $1500 and I haven't noticed any difference. It seems a $300 dollar one could do just as good a job
Right they are built like tanks, Powerful and rugged. In fact I have an old kirby vacuum unit, just the motor and blower mounted on a old shop vac that went bad. The Kirby was bought by my grandmother over 50 years ago and its still running.
I have one the bags are horrifically expensive, so I try not to use it if I can get away with it.
I know, it's bizarre. They're like tanks; solid metal, unwieldy, heavy and no better than any vacuum, and worse than a Dyson.
