Got my Kirby!
A few weeks back I asked if anyone had an opinion about the Kirby vacuum. I had a salesman here and I fell in love with it... but just didn't want to shell out $1200-$1800 for it. So, I finally got the guy out the door and then went to craigslist and got an almost brand new one for $320!!! It's awesome! It even comes with the shampooer and two million other attachments... even a paint sprayer and massager! The lady I got it from used to live in a large ranch home on 5 acres and sadly they just found out her dh has terminal cancer and so they ended up moving into a 55+ community where the maintanece is handled for them and her new home is 2 stories and she said she's getting to old to carry it up/down stairs. The model I got is the exact one that they are currently selling and she paid $1400 for it less than 2 years ago.
Anyway, I know that we all love to talk about saving money and I was so excited that I saved over a grand on my Kirby!
I love to vacuum and it's so nice to have one that makes my house super clean and I know that it'll keep working for pretty much forever (vs the cheapo vacuums that I end up buying every year).
And on a side note, yes it is heavier than other vacuums, but honestly I don't think it's that much heavier than most of the other vacuums I've had.
LOVE IT!!!
