Bought a Kirby vacuum cleaner for 40 bucks on Facebook

My parents had one but they gave it away. They are very expensive. I like it but not paying what they go for. Does anybody else have a Kirby vacuum? Do you have? Sharks are good vacuums. Bought a Dyson from Facebook. Not impressed that much with the Dyson. The Dyson was 20$. The Dyson just needed a belt.

kirby's are the best. i have one with the shampooing system. definitely worth getting that, the shampooing system. it works really good

@Penny mine did come with the shampooing system. But I already have a shampooer. Never tried the shampoo attachment.

I have two of them. I have one from the 1950s and one from the 1980s and both have been in family since they were new

@HumanEarth I don’t know which one my parents had. But the one I got is a generation 3 from the early 90s. If I find another good deal like the one I did, I’ll probably buy another one.

I had one for 20 years expensive but never gave any trouble some one stole it several years ago

@olderuncle944 sorry to hear someone stole it. And yes, it’s a very well-made machine. But when I got is a generation 3. 40 bucks was like nothing for that because any vacuum cleaner is going to cost 40 bucks.
My mom had one. I have a Bissell. I don't have much to vacuum. I only have carpet in the basement. And I needed something light for the stairs.

I like that one and also Hoover

I have a Hoover bagless, canister vacuum. I love it. Picks up well and it's easy to empty.
Jonjdw · 51-55, M
@Sapio i’ve had many vacuum cleaners. Loved the Hoover wind tunnel.
Sapio · 51-55, M
@Jonjdw had one of those. They are a great vacuum.

I had to look it up, but after reading the comments here and the interweb, now I want a Kirby.
I had a friend that sold Kirbys decades ago, even in the early 90's they were fetching $1,700 for the basic models, and about $2,200 for the shampooer option. I would hate to see what they're selling for now.

@NativePortlander1970 The one I got is from the early 90s a generation 3. With the shampoo attachment. I don’t know what they cost now and I know they are very expensive and I would not pay those prices. But they are a solid, well-made vacuum. The one I got there was nothing wrong with it.
