  • same one we have...these last forever!

  • I have one of these...I've had it for 8 years still running !

  • WHOA!!! I've never seen a 2-speed Kirby before!!!

  • Still have to do it by hand, I prefer the Roomba's, set it and forget it.

  • @Boodieman72 I have a roomba and it obviously isn't efficient and it doesn't deep clean. Try the Neato xv-ll it uses a constant updating laser mapping system, it has a lot more suction and its just better

  • your house must be spotless, im shocked you still have carpet left after all these videos lol.

  • heavy duty vacuum.powerful suction.had ours for year's now,well worth the money!.belts hold up great,only went through one,once in a great while I have to take the transmission out,*lol* and adjust it,when I feel like it is taking more effort to push,which is a little bit of a pain.roller held up well,but can use a new one.all attachments are pretty good,Really built well,top quality.cast aluminum body,plastic parts on this unit are not of cheap quality.don't waste the money on the shampooer .

  • These kirbys cost them only $200 to make yet they charge 2500 for them! complete rip off!

  • @kennyd203 I agree. That's why I bought mine used, for £200, on eBay ;)

  • @vintagehoover at least it works well i got this and its works well but berber carpet will wear any vac out faster.

  • @kennyd203 i agreew it is a ripoff but the quality is decent.

  • The only thing I don't like about the Kirby is that it is VERY heavy!! Otherwise, It's one of the best cleaner's you can buy. I paid $600 for a brand new one with all of the attachments, including the shampoo attachment. I figured I would have it for life or until I couldn't lift it anymore.

  • @pillowbugg How did you buy it?

  • @pillowbugg I'd be interested to know what brand you bought. I paid almost twice as much! I'm not a happy camper.

  • Do you know how to use the shampooer?????????

  • Yup, but I don't own this cleaner any more - I sold it over a year ago.

  • @vintagehoover What is your opinion of it? How did you buy it? Have you ever had any experience with Kirby salesman?

    How would YOU say it compares to a Dyson or Miele?

  • I'd never, ever let a Kirby salesman anywhere near my house or my family! I bought it for £275 on eBay.

    I sold all my Kirbys, whereas I still have all my Dysons and Mieles. The Kirby was too big, too heavy, and the consumables are too expensive. Great cleaner, but not for me!

  • i here kirbys are realy good at deep cleaning...dont know if its true or not

  • Yes, they are great at deep cleaning. If you have a newer model, like the G4 and up, you can get a stiffer brush roll for pet hair or better cleaning. A Sanitaire will do about the same thing, but the Kirby has better bags, attachments, ect.

    Hope This Helped

  • i Saw That There IS over Alot of different Kirby Vacuums

  • i Have Been Searching for all Of The Editions Of the Kirby and There is About 2,0000,0000 kirbys in the Vacuum Store

  • I WANT IT...!!!

  • I want a DE just to play with, I er mean test the secondary speed switch, just to see what it's like to use... :D

  • An (optional) 12 ft hose and a zip-brush is easier on your back to clean stairs. It would only cost about $60.00 and last forever. Kirby is the best.

  • I'm getting the 12 foot hose, it was horrible trying to shampoo the stairs!

  • How much would u sell ur tradition for?

    I am looking 4 a new 1 mine broke, and i didn't fix it I just threw it out :[

  • i want that kirby ulrimate g7 so much i need one really bad how much do you want for it

  • btw: how much would u sell ur tradition 4?

    if u still have it

  • do u still have any of ur Kirby vacuums?

  • i have one the same kind i think it is a piece of shit i liked my hoover way better

  • why did you sell your kirby? you always wanted this model?

  • I wanted to try it out. After a few months I was bored with it. Excellent cleaner, but too heavy and bulky. I don't collect modern cleaners as a rule, and I don't collect Kirbys, so it had to go!

    The money from the sale is going to get me to the VCCC convention this year.

  • can show kirby in shampoo mode

  • I'm afraid not, I've just sold this machine, so I don't have access to it any more.

    I wouldn't use the Kirby for shampooing anyway; I just hire a Rug Doctor if the carpets need washing.

  • it handheld or canister mode

  • ???

  • Do you still have your Tradition?

  • I do, but it's in the attic, and I never use it. I've also got 2 big boxes of attachments and accessories for it. The only time I've used the Tradition extensively is with the Handi Butler and a buffing wheel to polish all my vintage Hoovers!

    I may sell the Tradition, if I can find the time to get it cleaned up and restored, etc.

  • Ahh, I see... I just bought one off of ebay with all the attachments with all the boxes and the big storage box all in mint condition...the Rug Renovator is unused in the box even! It just shipped out today :P !

  • sweet kirbys are cool
