I am buying a Kirby vacuum carpet cleaner

by Elaine
(Launceston. Tasmania)

How do I know whether it is the latest model and whether parts and accessories will always be available as I live in Tasmania, Australia.

I have had a home demonstration, am impressed with the product but don't feel completely happy about after sales service/availability of spares (bags etc) continuing once the promotion is over.

I am paying $2,900 after a discount of $500 - is this enough or can I bargain further?

We are in our 70's - is this the machine for us?
We have been asked to pay the full amount before they will order the machine. Is this fair trading?

Would like your advice a.s.a.p.

 Buying Kirby Vacuum
by: David G

I live in Ohio (USA) where this product is made
I try to buy US made,as well as Ohio made produts
the Best personal advice I can give you is RUN don't walk away from Kirby. I own this product and to make a very long story short, this product
as well as this company is an embarasment to do business with. RUN AWAY.

We have a Kirby - it is extremely heavy; bag replacement is expensive and available at only select stores; and, we cannot find anyone to repair it (so we are about to replace it).

 Kirby not worth the money
by: Anonymous

Don't but a Kirby vac. It is not worth what it cost. My mom had one and it was so heavy she could hardly carry it up the stairs.
