    $62.33 later and the wheels fall off.

    He wasn't friendly. I know he was mad because I wouldn't pay for the repair. He was a bit condensending, but from past experiences a lot of Kirby salesman are that way especially if they don't like your vacuum. I have his product, and I also have one of his biggest competitiors and he seems to...

    $62.33 later and the wheels fall off.

    And it's fixed. The Kirby man came down today and had it fixed in about three minutes. He tried to charge me and I wasn't having any of that. I told him that both Jacob and I tried to fix it and we couldn't. He said that it didn't surprise him that he would have had to fix it one way or...

    $62.33 later and the wheels fall off.

    I didn't have a chance to go to the Kirby company today. I woke up at 11:15 and the office in Stevensville is only open from 09:00 AM to 12:00 PM and I wasn't going to have time. I did call and spoke to Mike who is in the office and who I have been dealing with. He said that he would be...

    $62.33 later and the wheels fall off.

    I have a G 2000 Limited Edition. A friend of mine gave it to me. She didn't like my Rainbow even though she never used it. LOL I looked around and didn't find any screws. The problem we are having is that we can't get the wheel on the axel? and I can't get the height adjustment together to...

    It fell apart on the front left side where the height adjustment is. Jacob tried to put the wheel assembly back together and he was unsuccessful. I tried the same thing and I couldn't get it either.

    My little rant. I decided to temporarly retire my Rainbow until we get new carpet. So I'm using my Kirby. I sent the Kirby to the Kirby Company of Southwest Michigan so that I could have it serviced and cleaned really good. I got it back today paid $62.33 and started to use it to see how it...

    Common vacuums seen in trash

    People don't realize that there is a certain amount of upkeep needed to make sure that a vacuum keeps going.  Even the cheep shelf vacuums if properly taken care of will last a long time.  Clean the filters, clean the dust bins, change the bags and check the belts.   I recently started...

    How people buy vacuums.

    I have only had one experience with door to door sales. When I was in my early 20s my boyfriend scheduled a Kirby demonstration at my apartment. I had my Rainbow and I told Jeremy that I wasn't interested in a Kirby. He said it would be fun. The guy was horrible. He was rude and wasn't going...

    How people buy vacuums.

    A friend of mine stopped over to say hi and see the house.  It was the first time she has been here. I was showing her each room and what we had been doing with the place and I showed her my dated laundry room and she saw my vacuum.  I have known Teresa since I was in elementary school and I...

    Hoover and Eureka and Bissell

    It's strange how peoples cleaning habits change over time.  My grandma and mom used to use the vacuum for everything: vacuuming the floors, carpets, furniture, knocking cobwebs, cleaning the walls and so on and so forth.  As my Grandma got older and for as many health problems she had she...

    Hoover and Eureka and Bissell

    Three of the biggest names in vacuums and I was playing on their websites and they have virtually NO canister vacuums.  Both have a line up of three canister vacuums.  Hoover has power nozzles and Eureka has all straight suction. Bissell has two power nozzle models and all the rest are straight...

    your idea of these

    The entertainment factor with cats is maybe the biggest positive that I can find with them. If you think about it you really are handicapped. They can't clean the furniture, or walls, or stairs,  it's strictly floors. Video's of cats riding around on them really is the only fun thing about...

    your idea of these

    From my own experience... You have to have a house that will stay pretty clean. Don't get rid of your primary vacuum because you are still going to need it.  When it comes to pet hair they do okay but it's not going to do that great of a job.  my best friend had one and she had two labs and a...
