The Kirby all in one that my husband bought for my several years ago is a good vacum, just like the no name cheap one I had baught a at Walmart a few years earlier. He wanted me to have the best thought and at around $2000.00 he thought it was the best all around good deal. The probleme is that the bags cost about $15.00 per bag and you have to do some major reconfigoring to get it to where you can use it as a shampooer. If you have an extra $2000.00 laying around the house and you just want to spend it on anything, then maybe this is for you. however if you are like me and would rather spend it...
