As always, you post some great reports, as this was a fantastic read. Several of my favorite brands and models are listed here.
I just got my 2015 Buying Guide, And for once Consumer Reports got something right! In the section on vacuum cleaners, page 137, it states under 'most & least reliable.' "Kirby was among the more reliable brands of upright vacuums-." Anybody who wants to read the rest can get the buying guide, but I was prepared for C. R. to trash Kirby, and for once, they did not! Like I've said before, keep sharing these great reports because it's the era I love most. Alex Taber. |

Don't you love the quote,"With care, these could last 7-10 years or more! Here, 50+years later, and I'm sure they all would STILL operate. Mine do. Of course, the outer bags wear, brushes, and belts/bulbs.
And, how about the "rage" on disposable paper bags! Now, there are near "fights" over bagless. And the beat goes on. Thanks, Robert... always fun stuff to see. |
