If Kirby wants to survive, cords have to go. The only way Kirby gets traction and sales in the coming years is with a cordless vacuum. The current Kirbys only pull around 600 -700 watts. There is no reason they couldn’t design a slightly more efficient direct air machine that operates...

Can't go wrong for $10 You can always try it and if it doesn't fit your needs, give it back. At a minimum it should be really good on carpets.

New or used, if you're selling a "refurbished" vacuum, I think that means that everything has been cleaned and nothing should be broken. Does that mean "new" performance? No, but with something as simple as a vacuum, it shouldn't be far off new performance. Maybe the brush roll is a little worn...

I like robots in certain situations. Robots aren't going to replace a corded or even cordless vacuum. They are surface level cleaners but they serve their purpose very well depending on the circumstances. The robots are pretty good these days and many even avoid pet droppings and other things...

I find their stick vacs to be a bit of mystery why they went with a noncyclonic system that remind me of super cheap hand vacs of the past. Perhaps in the commercial world they don't care about...

If you want a cordless perhaps the Oreck Pod? I know you want clean filtration and simplicity and I feel like you might like the Oreck Pod cordless stick if you want something simple to go around with. They are a direct air and have hepa bags, so I feel like there would be less to get stinky...

I'm looking forward to cordless vacuum technology improv Corded vacuums will continue to have their place for the foreseeable future but cordless is where the action is today. I'm not a big Dyson fan but the V15 shows cordless vacuums are taking steps towards replacing corded vacuums every...
