Kirby Selling Online Now

[s2_82]

I'm liking these new changes.. sounds like they're really stepping things up and giving people more options.. Has there been perhaps a change in leadership recently just curious..

This is great Kirby finally stepping into the Morden times just hope they finally do that to their machines

S2_82 asked: Has there been perhaps a change in leadership recently just curious.

I reply: Yes. Kirby was sold about a year ago to a company called Right Lane Industries, or something like that. It appears they've now begun to remake Kirby in their own image. Hopefully, they won't cheapen the machines' design with excessive amounts of plastic and circuit boards or--heaven forbid--farm out production to China. That would be the end, as far as I'm concerned.

Wow way to go Kirby.

 

[s2_82]

@ Human, thanks.. I definitely didn't know that. Yup,hopefully this new company will maintain the high quality standards Kirby is known for.. if you really think about it, we don't have too many made in USA vacuums anymore, unfortunately..

Definitely a bold move by Kirby. I'd be curious now to see how much they would offer for their "certified" refurbished units and what models they would have available. Imagine buying a vintage Kirby off from Amazon!

That would be so cool seeing them sell older models I think this move by Kirby is ace I’m just curious to see their next model even if it is an avalir 3

^no... no more avalirs/sentria

I seriously hope they don't come out with a avalir 3 (at that point sentria 5). If thats the case make it a true color change and not just the accent colors. Ditch the black coloring, its long overdue for retirement. Come out with something worth it. Cause 4 years with avalir 2 is way to long and is probably located in every pawn shop in america at this point and is just another G-series machine that needs to be redesign from the ground up.

This is such a soap opera.

Would it too much to ask for everyone to just MOVE ON and then wait and see what Kirby actually does??? Y’all are just ruining it for yourselves!!!

 

[madman]

I beg to differ, it is outrageous. I could buy a car for that price!

So has the time to return a Kirby, i.e. cancel the sale changed? I'd think a 30 day return window would be more reasonable for internet sales. Given Kirby's reputation for sales practices, am surprised that there aren't more state laws protecting consumers with longer return periods...

I just seen an online ad for Kirby on YouTube. Price aside I’m glad to see them trying some different marketing and sales strategies. Let’s hope they find a way to keep themselves relevant in todays market.
