Our neighbor has a dyson, I've seen her floors... not impressed... and it won't shampoo my rug or scrub and polish my tile like the kirby can. The price is crazy, but I'm willing to consider it to have clean verses tidy.
Have any of you owned a Kirby before?

My folks got into the same scheme with Kirby - back in the late 1940's !
Years of monthly payments, but with a bright shiny vacuum with more attachments than you could ever want.
It shaped my personality because I hated the thing...
One attachment for waxing and polishing the car (which I had to wash it every Sat)
One attachment for spray painting the picket fence in around the front yard
One attachment for sharpening knives that made a hideous sound
Individual attachments for vacuuming walls, ceilings, venetian blinds
and the monsterous thing, itself, for vacuuming rugs.
I still cringe at the sound of a vacuum and that thing lasted forever.
I think my folks finally donated it to Goodwill when they downsized around 1965.
So you pays your money and takes your chances !
