Pros: Very sturdy, easy to maneuver, cleans great, modern style, Hepa filter
Cons: All the attachments and finding storage space for them.
Summary: This is not my first KIRBY vacuum cleaner, and while I swore I’d never own another one, I do. I purchased my first KIRBY back in the late 1970’s from a door-to-door salesman and initially loved the great performance I received. That ...

Pros: Great suction, nice machine
Cons: It is heavy, which can make something difficult
Summary: I purchased a 3 month old Kirby G series off of craigslist for $200. This is by far the best vacuum since they discovered that baby mammoths could be used to clean floors in the prehistoric era. The Kirby runs well, it comes with more accessories then ...

Pros: Cleans great, very durable
Cons: Very pricey and heavy
Summary: I think just about everyone in America knows that the Kirby does a great job sucking up dirt. Not too many people will dispute that. However, the Kirby technology has been around for a long time now and I do think they could easily bring the prices of ...

Pros: Never find any dog hair/sand left on my carpet/floors. Handles like a dream.
Cons: Ultimate G heavy to lift up when necessary to take up or down the stairs.
Summary: My Mom bought us the Ultimate G upright. A wonderful gift to keep our many yards of new carpeting clean. She knew I would never, ever give up my original 1957 Kirby, so she took it upon herself to present me with this wonderful vacuum. I love it, to ...

Summary: My neighbors just purchased a Kirby. I have a Dyson and love it! However, I borrowed their Kirby yesterday to try out the carpet shampoo system on some of our heavily trafficked carpets in our home. I wasn't really that impressed with the carpet ...

Pros: Works great at first.
Cons: Not as durable as I would have hoped for $1200.
Cumbersome to use attachments.
Summary: I've had my Kirby for almost 3 years now. My previous vacuum was an Oreck XL and the Kirby seemed to be the superior machine, all though in all fairness, I was comparing a brand new Kirby to an Oreck which was about 2 years old at the time. But, just ...

Pros: there isn't enough pros that would lead me to buy one
Cons: Extremely heavy, awkward, decieving company
Summary: I grew up with the Kirby that my mother and father owned. It was to much like work to use that thing. That's probably why my siblings and I always vacuumed. She bought it when I was about seven and used it for eleven years. Don't get me wrong ...

Summary: First, I need to start out by saying that I acquired my Kirby (Ultimate G) as a home-warming gift from my brother, who acquired it from a client, who happens to be a Kirby salesman. There is NO WAY on God's green earth that I would ne-ver-ev-er pay ...

Pros: Really good for deep cleaning, great attachments
Cons: Quite heavy, price was higher than I like

Pros: NONE! You can buy a great vacuum cleaner for a lot less.
Cons: Overpriced, dishonest, heavy, loud, weak shampoo feature
Summary: I am writing this review based on the dishonest behavior of a Kirby salesman that came to my door, the poor performance of the Kirby that I demoed and the difficulty of use. The "hook" is similar to what others have mentioned. The door bell rang and I ...

Pros: Its a real machine, not a plastic imitation - plus it works!
Cons: Pricey unless you add the down sides in terms of $ if you pass
