"...Customers are not impressed with hyped technologies that don't have a direct effect on product performance when the price is considerably higher than the competition.."
That same statement could well be applied to the Kirby vacuums that are £1000 in the UK and remain the highest and most expensive vacuum we can buy domestically. However in my mind it is not the best for smaller countries and at its weight and numerous attachments that most UK buyers seldom use, the Kirby cleaning system is a bit of a waste of money unless you're literally sucked in by all the marketing that goes with it.
Hello Vacmanuk:
As a door to door seller, with financing available from KIRBY thru GE Credit, comparing an all metal KIRBY made in the USA with a plastic foreign made big box retail selling vacuum has limited similarities [at least in the USA]. Why? Selling venues are very different. KIRBY has authorized KIRBY dealers who repair. Not independents authorized by KIRBY, tho many indies work on and sell KIRBY parts. Keep in the mind the KIRBY reconditioning contract too. Basically restores [reconditions] the original KIRBY to like new condition for a fixed fee set at the time of purchase. AN insurance policy if you will that regardless of what fate befalls your KIRBY, you can have it redone to original specs and condition for a fixed fee. Talk to loyal KIRBY customers and inevitably this is a feature they have used and liked. Carmine D.
