~ I used my Kirby 515 today. It's fun to run but not particularly effective. As my mom commented once, "Kirbys make more noise than suction." The pups enjoyed a going-over, albeit a bit reluctantly at first! |

~ That was just a general statement that my mom made one day back in the late 1970s when I was using one of my old Kirbys in her living room. She wasn't particularly impressed with it and thought it was too noisy and not really all that powerful -- especially in comparison (on both counts) to her Electrolux Model G -- hence her witty comment.
