Where did you get the kirby?

[kegskius]

An in-home salesman.

no offense to dyson fans but I have grown up on Kirbys and they last a long time. the one I have is 30 years old (15 since rebuild). The problem with bagless vacs is that somebody's got to open up the canister full of dust.

[kegskius]

I actually get more dust from my Kirby bag when I replace it than my Dyson, because the Dyson opens at the bottom to release the dirt.

As for lasting longer, they also require maintenance and I did the math. In 20 years I could buy a Dyson over 7 times but since they have a 5 year bumper-to-bumper, the most you'd replace it is 4 times so you'd spend half of what you would spend on the Kirby with it's basic cost plus bags & belts and tune-ups.

i was hoping you were going to test them and see kirby get its but kicked!!

[kegskius]

I did in a different video. Performance-wise it was only slightly better but when you factor in everything else, the Dyson is the clear winner.

[Gsohoover]

Kirby will kick the dysons butt.

[phanstern]

@kegskius Well prepare to buy that dyson 7 times over because it will not last....funny that you automatically talked about the replacement of the dyson. Maybe you already know that the dysons will not last.

The Kirby is a heavy vaccuuming machine. We have this one.

A Dyson can get it's ass handed to it every second, minute, hour, day, night, and week by a Kirby no matter what model here is proof.

[save16thave]

Kirby is American made. The Dyson is made in some sweat shop in Malaysia. It's true that Kirbys weigh a ton but thats a ton of Pittsburgh steel, baby! If you want a cheaper vacuum thats American made get an Oreck. Or you could buy a foreign made vac and flush America a little further down the drain.

Sebo Beats both!!

Kirby sentria is bad ass and does every bit of alot, and is an awsome vacuum. The sales people on the other hand suck! they scam people to make a sale, but great vacuum.

[warplayz]

@RooflessE30 Sentria comes with design flaws, that's why and i don't remember the CFM being 157 for the Sentria, I believe it's 135 at most. A lot of pieces on Sentria break more easily, the next model will come with some fixes for this, as is the Sentria model has come with some "Revamps" recently and updates to the model, such as the bag removal was made easier, the inner works etc.. But the Sentria is said to be one of the work Kirby's right now, G is better as said by Kirby Distributors.

[RooflessE30]

@warplayz KIrby is in Cleveland OH and Andrews TX. and where is this comment about the G being beter then Sentria? G 80 cfm (ifirc) vs 157?
