I enjoy all my kirby's Well I have to say i really enjoy my kirby's,they have great air flow and they get the dirt.I also like the fact that they are durable I get 30 year old machines in all the time that just need some simple maintenance and they are good for another 30 years of service.

Another thing to add about Kirby, is that its still an American built product, with an excellent lifetime rebuilding guarantee to any original owner, from the very factory that manufactured it. My grandma bought a Kirby model 560 in 1960, that she has sent in many times over the years for rebuilding. It comes back from the factory like it was brand new, every single time. Of course, the red trim and cord are now tan,but heck, for 16 dollars a shot,,,what could be better? To this very day, its the only vacuum cleaner she has ever owned,(they had hard wood floors in their house until 1960 when they got carpet, still has the same carpet to this day too)and the only vacuum cleaner that has ever been used on her carpet is the Kirby. Of course there are some slight worn spots in her carpet infront of doorways, ect after 48 years, but in general, her carpet still looks as new and fresh as the day it was installed in 1960. She has vacuumed once a week with the Kirby all these years. I tend to think her carpet is in the shape its in not only because of the excellent care, but also because of the Kirby. Wouldnt it be cool to send a 1940s - 1960s Hoover, back to the factory and have it come back to you totally rebuilt(from the very factory that made it), with new hose and attachments!?,,,,in 2008!,,and all it would cost you is 16 dollars, plus shipping to and from the factory! | ||
