Is the Kirby's airflow and performance over exaggerated?

Has it NOT been made clear enough that this nonsense won't go on on VL?

May I ask why these post are being marked as offensive? I realized there are differences of opinion when it comes to technical data and personal experiences. I don't see any profanity, nudity or other things that I would consider truly offensive in this thread. I do hate continual brand bashing and I see it on both sites and many facebook groups as well but it's a fine line into censorship to squelch speech based on opinions.

Thank you like I said I kept things very civil. I wanted a discussion not a fight. I'm not bashing the Kirby I've owned 2 of them. I know their good points but I also know their bad points. But no cleaner is perfect.
I know it does a good job on porous carpet but the point of this thread was to find out how it performs on a sealed carpet.[this post was last edited: 3/15/2020-14:08]

The reason this thread is being reported is because vacfan1982 is putrposely instigating arguments and causing a fight in general by purposely calling out users of the site and trying to prove his ego, like certain other vacuum shop backroom lackeys posting here and trying to get people on his side to be anti-Kirby and bash anything that doesn't cost under $700 and is premium brand plastic garbage with no parts after 1 year.
Like I said earlier - the first post he made should have been a comment on Bill's YouTube video - not Vacuumland. But he purposely posted it here because he knew it would start a big fight and he is trying to get users to side with him to prove his ego is right.
He knows what he is doing and that is why he has been reported.

Oh stop blowing it up out of all proportion it's a discussion about a vacuum cleaner! 
Haha bashing everything that doesn't cost under $700 what are you talking about? I own premium vacuums
If you read my profile you will see the vacuums I own.
I don't have a big ego when im wrong I hold my hands up unlike some on here. You're making a lot of assumptions about someone you don't know and have never met aren't you
Seems to me that it's you who is looking to start a fight[this post was last edited: 3/15/2020-15:49]

I don't get why Kirby gets so much hate from some persons. I have not seen ANYONE praising Kirby to be the best carpet cleaner. Yes it's very good, but come on. Some limit to these trolls.
Note that the airflow effects to every vacuuming job. Low airflow vacuums needs to be very near to the dirt to pick it up when the high airflow vacuum picks up the dirt from much further away.
This is what I always experience in my day to day vacuuming. With low airflow vacuum I have to see much more effort to pick up the dirt. With low airflow vacuum there is much more effort involved because you have to be very near the dirt to pick it up.
This clip shows it all:

To each his own. More of a move to get an argument going by O.P.
No secret that many in today's world many have been brain washed into believing the Kirby has no place in today's market.
We have all seen the posts that Kirby needs to redesign it product to look and perform like today's disposable vacuums. WELL THEN IT WOULDN'T BE A KIRBY!! Make all the arguments against the Kirby as it stands today all you want. We all know today's Kirby will be out preforming any current disposable vacuum sold today.
Why you ask???? because if for no other reason. The Kirby has parts available to keep it operating well in the next decades to come. Can that be said about today's disposable vacuums. I think not!!
Many of us have read the disappointment over the fact that the one part needed to keep that "awesome" daily driver no home should be with out is suddenly dead in the water so to speak. Over a simple part that is conveniently not available as a repair part to make said daily driver usable again.
I for one as a life long Kirby enthusiast am proud that I am not to CHEAP to buy a Kirby, To DUMB to learn how to use and get the best out of a Kirby and best of all not to FRAIL or WEAK to use a Kirby.
As I have said before buy anything that suits your present need. Just don't change my Kirby!! Because I refuse to throw good money after bad for today's disposable plastic crap that doesn't perform any better than a kitchen broom.
And most importantly!! You get what you pay for!! And a fool and his money are soon parted.
Just my thoughts for the day.

A Kirby doesn't just clean by air flow. They keep improving there brush rolls. The airflow and the brush roll
together deep clean. Also it is important to change the belt, before it starts slipping. They make a very
stiff brush roll, which I am using now.. and it grooms my carpet better than there softer brush rolls. I have
plush carpet. If you have berber carpet, you would not use this stiff brush roll.

4 those who say kirbys dont clean well at all probably have poorly maintained or very well worn-out kirbys or kirbys with aftermarket bags
i have classic III with original bag & aftermarket outer bag that accepts a eureka f&g bag
with the aftermarket bag the kirby height selector needs to be lowered 3 notches for good cleaning resultd
when the original bga installed the 2nd highest setting give best results (shag carpet gets pulled up close to nozzle)
