"both Kirbys and Sanitaire Traditions have low water lift so they can leave a lot of heavy particles behind."
atclew 1.0We’ve had our Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition since 2004. My wife bought it before we met, so technically she’s had it since then. We only replace the HEPA bags and belts.
Fragrant-Taro-8508 1.0The best vacuum is whatever vacuum is your favorite. Mine is (currently) my Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition. Is it a perfect vacuum? Absolutely not. It’s heavy, bulky, awkward to use, and they don’t clean as well as Kirby want you to believe. But it’s built to last a lifetime, cleans carpets very well, does above floor cleaning somewhat okay, and to me have a very pleasant sound.
More_Lead_7599 0.2Get a used Kirby off marketplace, eBay or Craigslist... Any g series will function nearly identically... It is not a wet vac, dry only... No liquid should go in the tank when using the shampooer
aabum 0.1My first choice is Kirby. I don't understand others' posts implying they aren't reliable. Mine is 40 years old and probably has another 60 years left. Plastic crap, Dyson and Shark, is just that. Crap. Panasonic commercial vacuums have been a standard for many years.
actionvac-Box2165 0.1As well, a Kirby is probably the best carpet cleaning Vacuum made. It’s just antiquated.
Aggressive-Age-5796 0.1I love kirby vacuums. You can get a used one for a steal.
Altered-BeastOG 0.1Altruistic_Drink_465 0.1Bought my Kirby in 1987....still use it today. Well, not today.
analogliving71 0.1used kirby for pet hair
awooff 0.1Kenmores are a dime a dozen on marketplace. Likewise, a light use kirby can be had for 60 bucks.
