Advantages: Superioir suction - annual servicing to renew parts

Disadvantages: Takes a bit of learning to get the best out of it.

I think the Kirby is the best vacuum ever. It is the only vacuum I know that can have an annual service, like a car, and get all the worn out bits replaced. It may seem a bit complicated but the suction is brilliant and the whole thing is built to last for years. I have had mine now for about 16 years at a guess and it is still as good as new. In addition to vacuuming it will also deep clean carpets with shampoo. It converts to a hand held for doing stairs. mattresses etc (it is a little heavy but as it is quick to do, it is bearable). I know someone who has gone through at least three other sorts of vacuums in the time that I have had this one - it just doesn't wear out. There should be a Kirby appreciation society - I would join!

Summary: Never want to lose it
