What Features do Kirby vacuums have?

Question

We plan to get a Kirby Vacuum, even though they are pricey. What features do Kirby vacuums have?

Answer 1

Nathan F gave you the perfect answer.

Answer 2

Don't. There are a lot of good vacuum cleaners for a lot less money. They sell you a bunch of attachments that work marginally and you won't be able to find in 6 months.

I sold vacuum cleaners for 14 years from $99 to $3000. The only thing your looking for is a machine to suck the dirt off your floor and carpets. Anything else is wasted money.

What to look for in a vacuum is light weight and top filling bags.

Good luck

Answer 3

Kirby vacum cleaners (if not improve a great deal over the years) is a laugh.  They are expensive and don't do a great job.  

Answer 4

I have a Kirby.  It came with a hose attachment, a whole bucket of normal minor attachments, and a special attachment to "wash"upholstery using very little water. That works great in my car.

There were two segments of extender tubing, a chisel tool, a round brush tool, something with a very small pointy tip I've never used, and a wide tool to clean upholstry.  It also came with a few extra bags.

I've had my Kirby for 5 years.  I have never been sorry I invested the money for a really powerful vacuum cleaner.  I had broken and tossed out a vac a year keeping up with 7 people and a big dog.  Outside of one small belt and the normal bag replacement, this Kirby has never needed any maintenance and is more powerful than anything I've ever owned.  

No, I don't sell Kirbys.  They are probably way overpriced if you buy one brand new from the door-to door people like I did.  If I had to do it again I'd get a used reconditioned one from the vac store and buy the attachments online, but I'd still buy a Kirby.

Answer 5
