s there really a Kirby Scam? I mean, c'mon... These guys have been in business over 90 years. Would they still be in business if they were scamming people? But wait, there are a TON of complaints online claiming just that. So what's the truth?

In order to understand the real situation with all the complaints out there on the internet, we have to understand where they are coming from and the rationale behind them.

The kirby scam question can be addressed in 2 parts.

First, is the actual company that manufactures the vacuums a scam?
As I mentioned before this company has been in business for over 90 years. They are a member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau and they have satisfied customers across the globe.

When Kirby claims to make one of the best vacuums on the market... they mean it and they produce. Kirby = Quality and performance on many levels. When it comes to Kirby Corporate - there is absolutely no scam at play.

2nd - What about the independent distributors of Kirby? Are they scamming people?
This is where the overwhelming majority of complaints come from. Former distributors who felt like they weren't treated fairly in employment process and would be Kirby owners who felt like the salesmen used manipulative sales practices on them.

The reality is this, independent distributors run their business as they see fit. Could there be a Kirby Scam within the rank and file of the thousands of Kirby Reps. You bet there could. Not all people are honest and many sales people resort to less than savory practices to make a sale.

If you encounter a Kirby sales rep, remembering a few things will help you avoid being "scammed".

1st, don't feel sorry for the rep because they claim they need to hit some sort of sales quota. A common tactic used by dirty salesman is to play on the sympathies of the consumer. Don't fall for it.
2nd, If you want the vaccum (which you should because it's a great product) don't pay the first price they ask you to pay. These vacuums are like cars, they have a high retail price with a lot of room for negotiation.
Refuse to pay the price they ask, let them call the manager, refuse again, let them call again - play this game until you find the rock bottom price.

Follow these tips and you can avoid getting hit by the "kirby Scam" that others claim to have fallen victim to.

The Kirby Vacuum is, in fact, a dirt destroying dynamo. Happy cleaning! :)

  • @Bigwave2003 - It's funny that you call me a get rich quick scammer with absolutely 0 basis for that claim. I guess that's typical of those who like to label others "Scammers" though. They usually jump to conclusions with no solid foundation for those conclusions.

  • I have a kirby sentria and it really does work and did the job I was looking for , but the price was crazy high, and the sales people are a bunch of scams,all they care about is making the most they can on the customers expense and they try to make the customer feel stupid and guilty because they have a dyson or any other vacuum that dosent match up to the kirby. The sales people should find an honest way to sell them and stop pushing their way in the door.

  • It's funny, the guy posting this video about a possible Kirby scam is a get-rich-quick scammer himself! Savor the irony.

  • Kirby ISN'T BBB accredited. Critical thinking, gotta love it. More people need to research before blindly entering a sales job like this. ;)

  • Yes, Kirby scams everyone. From their "salespeople" to the customer. They tried to scam me, but I was a bit too smart for them. They ended up having to pay me quite a bit of money for the hours I worked for them. Too bad more people don't know what LABOR LAWS are.

  • Screw Kirby. Buy a Rainbow. I trashed my Kirby for one and I will never look back.

  • You clearly work for or are affiliated with the company.

    WHY should people KNOW that they can bargain down a $2000+ price down to half that? How could you stand behind a company that out of factory is selling a 700-800 dollar vacuum and mark it up nearly 3 times. That IS a scam. When you go to buy a car, there is something called blue book value, so any dummy can find out the value of the car they are looking at and haggle with the salesman. That's legit, but this kirby 'business' is not.

  • @donnygdog that is the honest way to sell them.. we explain that it is a demonstration... and we just make the customers understand that everyone deserves a Kirby to keep their homes as clean as possible and protect their investment in their homes

  • @MLMInternetExplosion BBB is a Scam by itself, they got caught selling ratings attached to memberships!!!!

    Be smart and do not quote another scammer!!!!

  • Thanks for the video. Very good reference.

  • the kirby itself is a good vacuum but they make money by hiring young ppl to sell them from door to door, and not pay them. then they quit, and then the process starts all over again, thats how the kirby company makes money, so say don't feel sorry for the customers, feel sorry for the distributor, (well the young ones who look scared to show u how it works) i went for a job there and it was pathetic on how unprofessional the trainer was and everything so i didn't go back the next day

  • This guys a liar. They do have a quota(and from what I've heard they try not to pay their sales people even if they do make the quota), Kirby's suck, and I'd bet any amount of money he works for Kirby. If anybody shows up at your house with a kirby lock up tight. And don't work for them either. I never actually worked for them but I got hired and did the orientation, realized what was up and got the hell out. If you don't believe me just google "kirby scam". Every complaint I read was accurate.
