Kirby vacuums have value and purpose. For the right person.
These vacuums are well built, have multiple functions that make them a power house cleaning tool.
The door to door sales folks use tactics that are questionable. High pressure, buy now. They will claim a lifetime warranty. but listen close, it is a 3 year limited warranty. Shipping and rebuilds are not free. If you want to pay for shipping and a rebuild for the life of your vacuum? Maybe, this is for you.
Local distributors that sell Kirby products are not always responsive to their consumer’s complaints/problems.
I became frustrated with my local distributor and contacted the corporate offices. All is now well.Would I recommend Kirby? Yes and no.
I have a Kirby G2 that was left behind when I purchased a house. I started using it just to see how it worked and I loved the suction both on carpets and bare floors. The machines seem to last forever. It is a little heavy but that’s not a concern of mine (it is a solid machine so that’s to be expected). The one complaint I would have is why Kirby never figured out how to integrate the hose into the unit instead of having to manually remove the brush roll to connect it. Sometimes you just need to get into that one corner quickly or along a piece of furniture and that makes it not convenient at all to use.
The Kirby Vacuum Cleaner provides excellent versatility for cleaning tasks, from removing dead skin from your mattress to extracting sand embedded in carpets. It is also durable and will last much longer than an average vacuum. If you take advantage of the free carpet cleaning for a room in your home, be prepared for it to take between 1 and 3.5 hours, depending on how interested you are in the various attachments it offers. Also, vacuum the area beforehand—I learned the hard way not to skip this step. Furthermore, the Kirby vacuum will help any renter who needs to have their carpets cleaned before moving out.
Believe it. I’ve sold, serviced and collected Kirby vacuums since the late 1990’s I’ve had almost every model from the 510 to the Sentria 2. I even have a Golden Trophy Tradition that is the cornerstone of my collection. Call me insane but I stand by these tanks and they are worth their weight in gold. I should work at the Factory in the rebuild department. Been to the Factory and was trained in the service and maintenance from the Factory to keep these machines running like new. It doesn’t matter how “heavy “ they are. Only from the closet to the outlet then they drive themselves pretty much. Even the 1CB isn’t that heavy to move around. I’d put my reputation on it you can put any “throwaway “ vacuum cleaner against any Kirby for quality, reliability and performance and Kirby will eat its cake and ask for thirds. Even Sebo (I have a G1 essential) or Miele or anything else on the market it’s only gonna last maybe 5-10 years without a major rebuild. Try and suck up a quarter or penny and see what happens. I know the Kirby will take a roll of quarters and not as for change back. Yeah they might be expensive but so is the Carpet, Furniture and appliances in your home. Don’t be afraid to invite a Kirby man into your home for a demonstration. They will give you a fair trade in allowance on your old Dyson or whatever you have. Haggle with them. I bet you could get one with all the attachments and shampooer for 1,400. Now the best part is the lifetime rebuild agreement. For half the price of a Dyson or for the price of a Hoover you can send it back to the factory and get it rebuilt to New condition. Why not. Buy once and cry once. And when you support an American business you will get the best deal for your investment. Take the opportunity to take pride in your home and your family with the best vacuum cleaner on the market today.
Not worth the money
