Its amazing to me
To see the number of new Kirbys at thrift stores, 10 to one over Rainbows, They ARE a well built good cleaner, but just too heavy, Its hard for me to carry one, I can only imagine a 90 pound woman trying to manage one, I really think that's why there are so many of them in stores, After the new wears off people realize they cant handle one, My Aunt bought a Omega new and I don't think I ever heard more cursing over anything..LOL Kirbs are a mans vacuum, not a womans.
