They are very expensive and very reliable. They are very heavy; I wouldn't want to vaccum up and down stairs with one. You cannot buy this kind of quality at Wal-Mart. If your hair gets wrapped around a Kirby beater bar (little spinny thing) it will get wrapped around a Wal-Mart sweeper too...

Well, let's see. My Kirby worked great for a while then it started giving me problems. I have really long hair and so when I vacuum I always pick up hair, well the hair gets wrapped around the brush (the spinny thing that picks everything up) and I end up having to take apart the whole damn thing and cut all the crap off from around the brush. I got so sick of doing this that one day I got good and pissed off and threw the thing out the front door, onto the lawn never to be used again. The End

Owned a Kirby for twenty years and sold the motor part back to the company for $100.00. It is one of the higher priced vacuums on the market,but worth every penny.
