My parents are contemplating on buying a new vacuum cleaner once they get their new carpeting installed within a month or so. My goal is for them to buy a vacuum made here. I kept on pleading to them to not buy a vacuum made in China. The trouble is, they need a new vacuum, but I keep coaxing them to find a used one, because there are so few vacuums still being made here. So the question is: of all the vacuums that are still being made here, or have been made here since most recently, which one is the best overall (in terms of price, quality, performance and reliability)??? Thank you, Ben (KirbyClassicIII) | ||

Ebay
I bought my Kirby Ultimate Diamond Edition NIB on eBay with all standard attachments and the Kirby Rug Renovator kit for about $600. At the time it was the current model and although it was not cheap, it was still a fraction of the cost of buying one direct from Kirby. While I use my VacuFlo most of the time, I do use the Kirby about once a week. There are very few machines made today that are made as well, or clean as well as the Kirby does. The Hepa Filtration bags hold a large amout of dirt and are great if you suffer from allergies or have pets. While many machines have come and gone from my collection my Kirby is one that I will never part with. The TechDrive system makes it easy to push across any type of carpet, and the variety of attachments are perfect for anyone who is serious about housekeeping. With good care and proper maintenance I'm certain it will be running well for at least the next 30+ years. How many other machines on the market today can you say that about?
