I always say it, and people don't like to hear it - but the only vacuum around today that has.....
1. tried and true design 2. made out of metal and as little plastic as possible 3. rugged 4. reliable 5. simple to use and does what it is supposed to 6. no fancy gadgets and gimmicks 7. can withstand dumb owners and careless abuse 8. will last you your entire life ...is Kirby (and maybe Royal as well - but not their plastic line) Even Sebo, TriStar, Dyson, et. al., they all have powernozzles, power wands, lots of intricate electrical pin connections running through the hoses and position sensors, circuit boards, logic boards, and all that - it adds more stuff to fail (and they do). |

They were used for the two motor speeds. Unsure if they have other functions like shutting down for overheating.

You are a vacuum repairer (from what I can gather from your story)
This is the Doctor complaining why so many people come to his surgery with health problems, aches and pains. Dyson sell literally millions of vacuums per year, as do shark. Like it or not but our beloved Sebo, Kenmores, Kirby’s et al are squarely niche products for a very specific yet loyal customer base that has really expanded, nor do those aforementioned brands want to expand it either. And that’s okay. Simple logic dictates you could see 20x the number of shark or Dyson or bissell products vs those lovely bagged American and German brands, this shouldn’t have to be pointed out. I can see why it’s easy to think along those lines however, but perspective in life is a wonderful thing. Lastly, and probably most importantly; users are generally stupid, inpatient, lazy or all 3. That would also explain why more bagless vacuums go in for faults than bagged models. |
