Oh and FYI guys, the video above with the Riccar brilliance, the new Dysons can agitate as well as that can, if not better.
No matter how good a Kirby can clean, I would still pick my DC41 Mk2. It deep cleans perfectly fine and we don't have thick carpets anyway. I ahve only one and it still does well on that. At least the DC41 Mk2 looks modern and doesn't need the cleaner head taking off too fit the hose, I can use it within the blink of an eye and I just love the colours. Kirbys are very inconvenient for British homes and homes in the UK are getting smaller now! We need smaller vacuums. Kirbys are fantastic for American homes because they are huge because America has WAY more land than the UK does so you can have bigger houses as a benefit.
