    Door to Door sales and their relevance in 2018 and beyond...

    So based on my recent post about ultra premium machine prices, I feel like the discussion swung to this... So my interpretation on this one is quite is quite simple, basically the brands that still use this method do so because their machines are often more than a vacuum cleaner and therefore to...

    Ultra Premium vacuum pricing... wtf filter queen?

    $3398 USD, holy mackerel! What is it that justifies this extreme price - the MSRP for a kirby is something like $1400 USD isn't it? I have a filter queen and it's a nice vacuum - but my rainbow e2 black and av avalir would both be much closer in worth to that if I was to buy new. In Australia...

    Dirty, Avalir... Can it be redeemed?

    Patrick The glue stick andn pencil were in the hose cuff... That was why when he started it, there was an odd but not concerning noise ;) There was a genuine bag in all that mess, but it's like they just put it in there? No tears on the collar or anything?

    Dirty, Avalir... Can it be redeemed?

    I bought an avalirs for the bargain price (in australia) of $150. The ad said needed new bag and small floor head. In the ad it said the accessories have never been used. Went the 50km trip to collect, people were nice enough and in an entirely tiled house...(why a Kirby?). They have used it...

    New Kirby website

    Hi All, Does anyone else think Kirby is taking an entirely different tact with their promotion of the Avalir 2? It seems to me as the website is much more a soft sell and feels much more engaging than before, and the videos on youtube look like they are designed for real TV commercials to be...

    Planned Obsolence?

    Hi Guys, I was thinking today while using my e2 black as to why more manufacturers haven't gone down the path of digital/brushless motors... Rainbow, Vorwerk and Dyson are really to my understanding the only ones that have jumped into this (although Dyson only uses them in the hand helds and...

    Why the big price disparity between Sebo and Miele in the US and the UK?

    I think it's all subjective Every country as different value scales - In australia We can buy the Sauber (aerus) for $1499 rrp but the rrp is almost $1000 more in the US - here though it's sold in retailers. Miele vacuums here are priced similar to the UK when the exchange rate is accounted...
