Kirby Vacuum - Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition Reviews

Up until 5 years ago, I was buying a new vacuum every year, and with 2 kids and a husband, using it certainly was almost a daily task.  I received a phone call one day offering a free demonstration of the Kirby vacuum cleaner and one free carpet shampooing. (The vacuum converts to a dry foam cleaner, too.)  After the demo, I was thoroughly impressed by the amount of suction the vacuum has, along with it's numerous attachments to clean every floor surface in your house.  The represetative gave me an awesome deal after I negotiated with him for some time.  Now, years later my carpets- despite...

I have owned a used Kirby G3 for over 8 years and absolutely Love It! After comparing all kinds of vacuums from canisters (Rainbow, Tri star, Filter Queen), to other uprights (Deparment store models, Dirt Devil, etc), and central vacuums. In the end I chose Kirby, and have never had a problem.  It was too pricey for me to buy new, so I bought used.  I would agree that at first it was a little tricky to change the powerhead, but I quickly got used to all the attachments.  I was willing to get used to switching back and forth, knowing I wasn't sacrificing performance.  After hearing so many stories...

I purchased a Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition vacuum cleaner and paid $1200.00 with my trade-in.

I will admit that this vacuum really does suck up the dust and dirt, however it is so heavy and bulky, and just wears me out when I use it. There are several attachments that I have not used, nor will I ever use like the carpet shampooer, the paint option, and the blower option.

When I purchased this vacuum from the salesperson that came to my home, I was really sold on it because of what I saw in the white filter she used to vacuum my area rug. I was amazed because I had just vacuumed that morning...

The Diamond G Kirby Vacuum comes with everything you need to clean your carpets, furniture, gutters, etc. It is pretty easy to use and will last through tough wear and tear ( I have two young children). Although the carpet cleaning products are pretty expensive, the quick drying makes it worthwhile.

Although I love my Kirby, I really wish I would've taken the time to view other vacuums of the same caliber, for much less. I paid $1300 for my Kirby because of the pushy salesperson that wanted to win a trip. I felt a little ripped off when someone told me they paid much less for the same one.

Kirby is one of the best, overall, for all that it does, and the pure quality of this machinery.  I say machinery, a cleaning machine/tool.  Not made of plastic like other vacuums.  Who uses plastic tools anyway?  This machine will not only vacuum but is a leaf blower, will paint with, shampoo carpet, furniture, car, cleans hard floors and every nook and cranny in between.  Also has addt'l attachments you can get for wax and sand your hard floor too!!!  Have loved it thru generations and will keep passing it down.  Last for ever.  Best investment ever made.  To all husbands out their who...

I am so glad I bought a Kirby. My house is mostly hardwood floors with 2 rooms of carpet. It is so easy to switch from the brush to the hose and the cord is very long so I only have to use a couple of plugs to reach all my floors. It rolls along very easily. It may seem like a lot of money to buy it but when I think of all the other brands of vaccums I had to buy every year because they wear out so fast-I will never have to buy another vaccum.

I bought my Kirby about 7 years ago. I have a 3 bedroom house, work full-time, & don't care much for cleaning. I had a special friend coming over and I wanted to show him that I had a clean house. The Kirby was so important in helping me be able to vacuum both my carpets and hardwood floors. The suction power is very strong. One reason I didn't like to vacuum was it took so very long to do a good job. Before I bought the Kirby, I was using a Eureka vacuum that I purchased refurbished from a neighbor. I later learned after purchasing the Kirby that most vacuums do a mediocre job.

The Kirby has...

Since getting our Kirby about 5 years ago, my family has really put it to many uses from cleaning out  the cars to shampooing the carpets. My niece has borrowed it to vacuum her very messy house and my sister's husband has used it to clean out their cars. My mom used it regularly to shampoo the carpets of our 5 bedroom house and now that we've moved into separate smaller places we share it from time to time to continue cleaning the floors of our family's many places. It does an excellant job of deep cleaning carpets and upholstery. The $2000.00 it cost us has certainly been worth the every penny....

The Kirby Ultimate G Diamond edition is a powerful vacuum cleaner. It gets deep down into the carpet to remove dirt and pet hair. It has a hepa filter which is very helpful for my son's allergies. It comes with lots of attachments and a carpet shampooer. The attachments are in a case of their own so storage is a bit of a pain. The vacuum is also very heavy and hard for me to get up the stairs. It is very poweful though, so it makes it worth it to me. It was very expensive. I got the salesman down to $800. I have heard that they can last a lifetime, though. This vacuum is self-propelled and it adjusts...

I purchased my Kirby Vaccum about 4 years ago and the only reason that I bought it was because one of my friends was selling them and I got a good buy on it.  Kirby vaccum's do do alot of things and have many attachments but they are heavy, time consuming to change the different attachments, loud, and the list goes on and on.   Kirby's are supposed to be a good vaccum but I would not reccomend one to anyone.  There are many other vaccums that are better, lighter, and more options.  Another disadvantage is that you have to mail order all the parts to your Kirby even the bags and belts you can't...
