Kirby Sentria Home Care System

by Smith
(Hayward, CA)

The Sentria Home Care System by Kirby is the BEST vacuum. It is built for durability and the cleaning results are great.

Professional cleaners have 3-5 different machines that the Sentria can do just as good. But, lets be honest, with professional cleaners we pay for the labor.

If you are not lazy than Kirby's Sentria is for you. With the Kirby, you pay for a machine that will save you money for years and you still get great cleaning results.

The Kirby Sentria not only cleans carpets, floors, and beds but the air we breathe as well. Yes, it is heavier than other vacuums, but with the long hose and other attachments one shouldn't have to lift it often.

It's still sucks up dirt etc. very well with just the attachments. Don't lift it up unless you really need to, which should be only once or twice, right?

Cleaning is a profession now. But why pay others to do something we can do ourselves?

If you love cleaning. If you don't mind taking the time switching attachments. If you don't want allergens and dustmites.If you want a long lasting machine.

If you want a quality machine. GET Kirby's Sentria Home Care System!

Kirby Sentria
by: Timothy

This is the greatest ever. I worked for them for a while in CT and FL anyone with complaints about the sales people being to aggressive is a moron. First that's how they make money to feed their kids. Second if you don't buy it than you must like dirt. No vacuum can out perform or last as long as a Kirby Sentria. It is worth every penny.

Okay, I like to clean.
by: Alice

I also had a pushy sales person, and actually, I am glad I bought my Kirby Sentria.

I, too, wish that I researched a little more and not paid as much as I did.

I had a Dyson before and liked that I could dispose of the dirt each time instead of having a bag to replace.

With all that being said, Man! This Kirby sucks!! lol

I enjoy cleaning with it, because I feel like I am really getting my floors clean.

I clean houses for a living, and one customer likes me to use her Rainbow vac. What a joke it is. I have to go over the same spot several times just to get a piece of lint up. Not the way I want to be spending my time!

I like all the options of using the hose with my Kirby or the main vacuum. Yes, it takes some time to get used to the way to put it all together and take it back apart again, but if you clean often, you will have it down in no time.

Watch the DVD that should come with it (my sales person shafted me on that). I had to order one from eBay!!

I like being able to lift the vac up on furniture to suck out the gunk that gets on it. Although, I was a little scared it would rip the fabric right off my couch! It didn't, thankfully. : )

Kirby Sentria
by: Anonymous

The Kirby Sentria is the best Home Care System i have ever used! I truly thank God for a System that cleans like the Sentria and i thank the Kirby Co. for desinging a machine with the consumer in mind.

Most cleaners i have used always seemed to be working fine for a month or two and then my carpet and the cleaness of our home would always end up in the same dirty condition. When the Kirby sales man came to our door we were dumb to Kirby and what it was. I am so glad we let the young man demonstrate the Kirby!!

It is the best at suction and even has a Lifetime warrenty that really dosent have any catches. It is not heavy and is very easy to push it actually gets the dirt out of the carpet and not just from the carpets serfice but deep down dirt. I have three indoor cats and it is great with pet hair removal.

I have allergies and since we started using the Kirby Sentria i can tell our home is clean, our carpet lookes 100% better and the air is much cleaner i dust much less and we even dont have to change the airconditioner filters out as often and when we do they are not near as dirty as they used to be. I absoutly love that i can vacumme my and my familys mattress with the Kirby and get all of the dustmites out of our bedding.

If you have never seen a Kirby i would highly suggest you do it ! If you have been a sceptic about door to door salesman you may be right about some of them but Kirby is drffinantly something you should see!one last thing. It also has a shampooer that comes with it along with a floor buffer and electric broom for those wiht bare floors that i love using in my kitchen.

The shampooer is nthe best at removing spots and it even leaves a scotch guard on the carpet !! You must see this! I highly recomend the Kirby Sentra it is a great investment for the Home!

Scam alarm
by: David

These people seemed far more interested in my personal information, than they were in actually demonstrating their system.

They send a door-to-door person to my house, who explains that they're willing to give me a free demonstration of their product in return for word-of-mouth advertising. I agree and give her my contact number.

Two days later, they call me back, ostensibly to arrange a time for the presentation. But instead of booking a time and date (as they already have my address from the door-to-door rep), they proceed to ask me for my surname (not required to book an appointment), my marital status (again, not required to book an appointment), how many people live with me (again not required), and whether or not I own or rent my house.

I didn't give them any of the information, and when I asked why they needed it, the caller became hostile and terminated the call.

Here's your word of mouth - If someone tries to sell you one of these things, stay away. It seemed more like they were trying to scam me later, than actually do a demonstration.

Kirby needs better reps
by: Anonymous

I rate the page 6 Stars but the Kirby sales people dont deserve a rate. i am very upset. saturday afternoon a young lady came to my door and said they were a new company in the area and to introduce themselves they were offering a free cleaning on a item of furniture or a rug.... i agreed and then it turns into 2 1/2 hours of telling me how dirty my house was, that my vacuum didn't work and that if i didn't buy the kirby .. i didn't care about the dirt in my home. they misrepresent who and what they did, as well as being insulting. she called her manager several times.. and i was asked to talk to him and he also said i didn't care about my home because i couldn't purchase a vacuum for 3,000 dollars. i do not appreciate being lied to and then insulted.even if i could afford the vacuum i wouldn't have gotten it from them. i always held kirby in high regard, but after this, i feel it was scam like and would not consider making a purchase of a kirby anymore. i sure hope this is not the way you want your company represented, as it was a very negative experience.

Sentria
by: Sarah

I thought my 3 year old Hoover was light and easy to push until I got my Kirby Sentria vacuum. The cleaning power and suction is 10 times better especially with the attachments. Even though my Hoover Wind Tunnel had an attachment for stairs it never cleaned well enough so I would hoist the whole vacuum up on the stairs.

With the Kirby I simply take off the long push handle and attach a short one that lets me take advantage of the power in a much better position that doesn't kill my back.

I paid about $200 for my Hoover Wind Tunnel 2 and $275 for a separate carpet shampooer that soaked my carpet and the small brush attachment broke. I was ready to buy another shampooer and would have probably paid $300-$400.

After seeing all the dirt my vacuum missed how could I keep using it in good conscious? Instead, at 33 years old I bought a Kirby at $1200 and plan to never have to purchase another vacuum or carpet cleaner as long as I live. I know I paid more than others, but I'm happy in my investment and plan to checkout more attachments for my hardwood floor.

As for the bags, I ran all over town checking Best Buy, American, Target, Wal-mart (all places where I'd seen them before) and couldn't find my Hoover bags. Finally I drove to Sears and found one. Kirby has a location nearby and is guaranteed to have my bags so I won't be wasting time driving all over town.

Kirby Sentria
by: Chris Young

it is the best vacuum I have ever used. It may be heavy, but it is very powerful. I was told that the weight was a by-product of the size of the motor which is understandable considering how much power the thing has.

Kirby Generation 3 - upgrade to Sentria
by: Anonymous

I have owned a Generation 3 Kirby which I believe came out in the early 90's which means I have owned it for almost 20 years. It has been a workhorse. I have had to replace the roller brush.

But I will say that I really love the carpet cleaning power of the Kirby. I have tried a couple of friend's carpet cleaners after whining and complaining about what a pain it is to put the Kirby shampooer all together and clean and put away. But I will never complain again and continue to sing the praises of the Kirby carpet cleaner.

Other carpet cleaners I tried also involved preparing and putting a bunch of parts together and the cleaning power didn't even come near the Kirby.

I just purchased the newer Sentria. Not much has changed in 20 years - I suppose why ruin a good thing in the good vacuuming mechanism. The motor is faster and more powerful. I will use my older model for upstairs cleaning (the sweeper still runs great) and use my new sweeper for downstairs.

I suppose cons to me would be that the sweeper is noisy and I wish it there was a way to keep basic attachments attached to the sweeper. A retractable cord would be nice for a sweeper priced the way this one is.

This product reminds me in a way that Avon sells it's products. You can look at Avon products online but you cannot buy them online - they will refer you to a representative.

I understand that when a Kirby representative comes to the door he is going to have to be a bit more pushy because he is selling one and only one product, unfortunately a a big-buck item. He has to jump through hoops.

I just don't like the hook tactics that they try to get you to agree to and place one price in front of you and then you get the "well, let me call my manager and see what he will do." bit. It feels like a car dealership.

Sentria
by: Anonymous

This new model is not the first Kirby that I have had. My Kirby Ultimate G was the best vacuum that I have ever owned and it would still be with me if not for divorce.

A Kirby has it all wrapped up in one package, sure they are a bit heavy, but the power drive makes up for it, and I have NEVER had a cleaner home.

Kirby SENTRIA
by: Anonymous

I bought a kirby sentria vacuum last year. The pitch was good and i was in a spring cleaning mode. After about a week i realized it is absolutely not an easy vacuum to operate. Hate the fact the hose is not attached. The belt comes off constantly. It's a very expensive headache. I bought a vacuum from sears cause I couldn't stand the kirby anymore.

my advice? DON'T BUY A KIRBY. !!!!

Love the Sentria
by: Samuel D.

Okay, perhaps it's early, but I gotta say we really like the Sentria! I've been a dyed-in-the-wool Filter Queen guy for a long time, and there are still some things that I'll always use the Filter Queen for, like vacuuming stairs. :)

That being said, my wife always wanted a Kirby, and when a platoon of Kirby sales people descended on our neighborhood this weekend, I decided to say yes.

The salesman did aggressively, yet politely, push for a sale. However, he did think he'd already struck out with me when I surprised him with an offer for his demo unit. I figured I'd save a few bucks that way, and still get the warranty. His manager offered a new one for $100 more, so I took it. $1,000 total, plus tax. Something for them, something for me, we're all happy. :)

Kirby Sentria
by: David

So we just purchased a Kirby Sentria. I wish I would have researched it before purchasing but that would only be to save a few more dollars! They started out with a price tag of $2600 and we knocked it down to $1500. By that point I was feeling like we were as low as we dared to go.

The vacuum is amazing. The suction is great and the Carpet cleaning mode works well. Not as well as the guys that come to your house but well. At the end of the day it is expensive but if a deeper kind of clean is something that you like you'll be happy with it... As long as you're not eating rice and beans to pay for it!

Nothing compares to Kirby Sentria
by: Adrian Blackmon

I've seen everything on the market, and nothing can compare to a Kirby. Kirbys are built up to a standard rather than a price. Its the best hands down.

bad kirby
by: Anonymous

Kirby is junk..salesmen took over a month to give attachments.when it broke they had went out of business. Kirby home office gave numbers for repair shops that had gone out of business.still have a machine that does not work and no way to get it fixed unless i want to take it over 300 mile a way..again junk is junk.....
