Too heavy - too expensive, don't be fooled by lifetime warranty
too busy to make beds, picking up after pets, not rich, value conscious, looking for durability, looking for value

Kirby Vacuum - G5 Upright Vacuum —
I purchased the Kirby G5 after a in-home demonstration. This was a pricey vacuum but I was sold when they talked about the lifetime warranty....Well, it broke and I can't find anyone to fix it locally. There is a dealer and repairman in another city but I will have to pay for parts and labor - what about that Lifetime warranty??? I did some research after the switch went out and discovered that it is a common occurance to have trouble getting it fixed if it breaks. Also this machine is very, very heavy, I got to the point that I dreaded gettting it out. Fooling with changing the bags, yuck, also bags not found locally, have to order or stock up while in a city where they are available. I had always thought at least it was a quality vacuum that cleaned well. Changed my mind when I purchased a replacement vacuum while trying to decide if worth the expense to fix the Kirby, I was blown away by the amount of dirt the replacement pulled out of rugs. I have decided that the Kirby is too heavy, too expensive and was a purchase I now regret. I think it is gargae sale material at this point, I could have bought many vacuums for the prce I paid for a Kirby.Last edited on Oct 29, 2009
