Kirby Vacuums

It is strange sometimes how cosmic forces are at work among us, for as I was using my borrowed Kirby that week and deciding I had to have one, my doorbell rang and who should be standing there but a Kirby salesman!

He demonstrated his model which was several years newer than my girlfriends. He showed me the other things the vacuum could do and all the attachments etc. I was ready to buy this wonderful vacuum immediately. The only shocker was discovering the price! I was literally in shock for a few minutes. But I was determined to own one!

So, after some negotiation on the price, I signed a payment plan. I was very happy with the job that Kirby did. That was 20 years ago. It never failed me, right up to the day (15 years later) I upgraded to my Kirby G5. I have had the G5 for 5 years now.

The G5 was an improvement on the older model I had, in that it had a more powerful motor and some slight design modifications, but most notably it had a self propelled switch. The handle also detaches and the Kirby G5 can be converted into a portable cleaner for mattresses, carpeted stairs and automobiles.

The older model did give you a workout pushing and pulling. It is a heavy vacuum cleaner. Using the self propel feature, it takes very little effort to vacuum.

As I stated before it really sucks (lol). It has very strong suction. It will lift your carpet right up if it isn’t nailed down and beware not to get too close to small pets!

One sticking point for many people may be the price. It is expensive. I was willing to pay however because I know I will get every pennys worth & more. I have noticed on the internet that used Kirbys can be picked up for half of what I paid for mine. And, I would not hesitate to buy a used Kirby. They are very well built and I wouldn’t be surprised if mine outlived me!

The G5 comes with a variety of attachments, like the hard surface nozzle, duster brush, upholstery nozzle, crevice tool, wall & ceiling brush, massage cap,inflator/deflator tool,and a portable sprayer.

With some of the optional accessories on the Kirby G5, you can also shampoo your carpet, wax & buff a hard floor, turbo sand …turbo polish…and tubo scour, and give an orbital massage. With all these extra goodies, keep in mind though that the main job we all usually want done and done well is a good vacuuming.

Kirby vacuum cleaners are praised by their owners more often then not. And one of those vacuums that got more positive then negative reviews and ratings is Kirby Sentria. The strongest points of Sentria are high performance and a warranty that makes you wanna buy it right now. It’s not easy for other vacuum cleaners to compete with something like this, but that is what Kirby wants at first place.

The efficiency is the main word you can use to describe this vacuum cleaner. Kirby Sentria has that retro design that we love and the performance we are used to. This model can endure a lot of work, and it’s just another vacuum from Kirby family that can last for 20 years. It’s not easy to find vacuum cleaners that will be with you for so long. But this is what Sentria is all about and I think it is worth to pay a bit higher price if you can get a value like that. A cleaner that costs $100 or less will not last for long, 12 moths maximum. Just browse online and read some reviews about Bissell, Rainbow or Eureka vacuums. It’s not a pretty sight.

Kirby Sentria has features that can not be matched by its cheaper competitors. You get a handful of attachments that will help you with cleaning your floors and rugs, no matter what type they are – linoleum tile or a shag. Even the stairs won’t have choice but to be cleaned by this powerful carpet cleaner.

Of course, with power comes a few things we can’t control and must accept them. The weight of the Sentria is one of the issues you may have. You will feel the weight when you compare Kirby Sentria with several other vacuums in it’s price range. This is because it packs quite a few features and is last to built so the materials had to be strong and durable. It’s a best way to keep a vacuum cleaner going after other have been broken and visited by repairman.

With a three year guarantee you get feeling that the company trusts in the product they make. This shows you that you won’t be hassled and left with a bad vacuum cleaner. Also, you will be able to refurbish your vacuum for a decent price when you see the need for it.

IF you are looking for a powerful vacuum cleaner that will blow your mind and suck all your dirt, the Kirby Sentria is your choice. It is heavy and you will need some time with the attachments, but the performance it gives is irreplaceable and that is the best thing about it. If you are looking for a long term companion, then check online stores and buy yourself a Kirby Sentria.
