That is a very good point! Also with a Kirby you have a given, they are very much alike??? Have only owned 4, so not sure, Dyson's line varies a lot and I am sure their cleaning ability does also. Wasn't going to throw this in the mix guys, but my dear friend has both, Kirby older red, very large head, they Dyson cleans up behind it, lots of sand and grit. There ya go.

I agree with Matt - the 2 are just incomparable.
When making such comparisons, you have to bare in mind the market to which both machines would sell to. Clearly, both have a market otherwise this conversation wouldn't exist. Not to mention, personal preference. You have to bare in mind, that Kirby retail for more than 5 times the cost of a Dyson (in the UK at least). Your average vacuum buying public, I would imagine, would find that an outrageous amount to spend on any appliance. Now, take away the fact that people on here have the knowledge they do, and are enthusiasts for such appliances for a moment. The Dyson is a well known brand, it appears to do a great job, picks up everything off the carpet, easy to empty and very powerful. What more does your average vacuum buying public want? Why splash out £2000 on a Kirby, when you can get a Dyson for £200 that still does everything a person needs it to? Now, any of you who have spoken to me know my feelings on Dyson (although, most of the time I don't get my point across very well) - PERSONALLY, I'm not a fan. I don't really like bagless vacuums. HOWEVER, if you want a bagless vacuum, there really is no other option. My feelings on Dyson machines are purely just personal dislikes, and in terms of performance, I can't fault them and there are many people out there who love their Dysons. | ||

but remember dyson advertises a lot in the media, that is how it became well known kirby is from 50+ years of experience, word of mouth, and the demo kirby is known for its quality and cleaning ability dyson for a 30 second media blurb with a nice comforting voice over | ||

I totally disagree with you there. As much as I have my personal dislikes about them, Dyson have proved to be a pretty reliable brand here in the UK, with many people still using 12 - 15 year old DC01's - I know of a number of people who still have these in daily use. I know a large number of people who are very happy with their Dysons and would, and have, recommended them to friends and family

Ahh yes, the "demo" (/ hostage situation?)... Remember that famous Kirby sales pitch: 'I don't care if you only have wooden floors! Hand over your grandchildren's inheritance or I won't leave!' OR: 'Alzheimer's? KA-CHING!' | ||

Family friend of ours, got pressured into buying a second hand Kirby in excess of $1500. She was a 70 year old widow on a pension. Department of Fair Trading was called. Nothing they hadn't heard before. She ended up returning the vacuum and getting a full refund. | ||

Obviously, I'm Kirby guy. But even I have to admit that the Dyson Ball is quite an innovative design. I played around with one at the store a while back and was quite impressed. Just out of curiosity, which Dyson is the most effective deep cleaner? Some day I would like to get a Dyson. So if I had to guess, would it be the DC28?
