Why would anyone pay this kind of money for a vacuum? Well let me count the ways!

1. It cleans!
2. It cleans!
3. It cleans!

Okay, now we know it cleans. Is that a good enough reason to pay what they are asking for a...

Pros: cleans great, many different vacuums all in one, it will even massage your skin and scalp
Cons: a little expensive, but well worth the price and it can be hard to put together

My parents have had a Kirby vacuum cleaner for years now. I can’t remember how long ago they bought it. It had to be over ten years ago though. This vacuum cleaner has outlasted any that they had ever had. Surely it is worth the one thousand or so...

Pros: Powerful, Versatile, Will last for 10+ years and actually do the JOB!
Cons: High learning curve, Single-level unit for some

Hello! No reviews in a while, but I recently picked up a Kirby G6 2000 Limited Edition and being the bargain hunter that I am, I'm happy to say that I'm only $80 poorer for it after talking down the local pawn shop for a 33% discount (which would still ...

Pros: -15 Cleaning attatchments including caddy -Excellent cleaning quality -High quality, high performance, easy to use
Cons: - Metal encased body makes the unit heavy - THATS IT!!!

The idea of purchasing products from door-to-door sales people has developed quite a negative stigma in recent years, and no other company adds more hate to door-to-door sales people than "The Kirby Company". Their unethical sales pitch's, rude ...

Pros: All Around Exceptional Cleaning System
Cons: Expensive

I was always used to buying a new vacuum every 2 or so years for around $150-$200, so the thought of buying a vacuum for $1,200 really scared me. In fact, after we purchased the Limited Edition Kirby G6 2000, I scoured the internet for any...

Pros: Provides a good clean and shampoo.
Cons: It is heavy and very expensive.

I use to work for this company and although I do not agree with their selling techniques, I cannot f ...

Pros: Great product
Cons: price

When I first set the appointment for them to come out and clean my carpets, I had NO intention of buying the Kirby. I thought the price was just way too high. So I thought, let me get my carpets cleaned for free and send the man on his way with...

Pros: Fundamentally correct design. Extremely powerful. Automatic transmission. Certified HEPA.
Cons: Heavy. Switching to canister mode is a hassle. Expensive.

Pros: very versatile, really powerful, reliable
Cons: can be heavy

I am the proud owner of a Kirby G6! I had to sit down and rationalize the expense of this vacuum. After careful consideration(and a trade-in allowance on my old vacuum) I was able to negotiate an acceptable price, I decided to take the plunge.
...

Pros: Cleans excellently, comes with very good shampooer attachment
Cons: Quite heavy, a bit noisy

I worked as a demonstrator for Kirby for a short time, demonstrating the G5 and the G6 when it came out. It was certainly not the nicest job I've ever done, but that's another story entirely. At the time I had a Dyson and after comparing it to that I...

Pros: Really cleans the carpet and furniture, basically easy to use
Cons: Price, salesman reputation

My friend tells me that she gave my name for a free carpet cleaning. Knowing that my daughter's one year birthday party was in a couple of days I took the company up on the offer to clean my carpet, in exchange for a demo of the Kirby Gsix. Before that...

Pros: seemed to work as advertised
Cons: too expensive

I got a call from a company called JBC Enterprises in San Jose CA, saying that as a reward for taking a survey awhile back (this was a lie), I get a choice of a free carpet shampoo or upholstery cleaning. Now I have this old carpet in my den that I was...

Pros: Works well, both vacs & shampoos your carpet with the same machine.
Cons: WAY too expensive, complicated to assemble & disassemble, dishonest & pushy salespeople.

This is more a review of Kirby's dishonest sales technique, than the product itself. However, I'll mention a bit about the product too.

Last Spring, while doing some gardening in my front yard, a Kirby salesman approached me. He apparently had...

Pros: performance, durability, reliability
Cons: none

The G-6 is one of the best investments you will ever make. The cost is high, but instead of asking "How much money will this cost me?", ask "How much money will this save me?"

The Kirby G-6 is much more than a vacuum. It is a home care system....

Pros: High powered machine, with shampooer
Cons: pushy salesman wanting too much money

Ok, Everybody knows about the Vacuum Cleaner Salespeople. It been known throughout this century, right? Here's my story of the Kirby salesman and it sounds like for the most part it is typical, but I have a twist...

I LOVE my Kirby. The...
