Reviews
I am the proud owner of a circa 1955 Kirby floor vac. Have used it regularly since purchase. NEVER had any repairs! I now use it for my studio apartment. Wish they made stuff today like they used to.

I love your vacuum! It’s amazing! I had no idea how much better having a Kirby is when you have a dog. Thanks to your product me and my wife can keep carpet in our house. It’s amazing. I really appreciate it.
Michael M.
Just wanted to contact you and let you know that we are very pleased with our Kirby vacuum cleaner rebuild. My wife stated that it was just like new. Thank you for the quality work and care you put into the rebuild.

In 1972, as a newly engaged, young woman, I purchased my Kirby Classic vacuum. I wanted a quality vacuum that would do the job and last. I could not, possibly, have imagined that I would still own it 49 years later-and that it would be functional. I want to express my sincere appreciation for the amazing restoration you performed on it.

I’ve had my Kirby 5 since 1994. Best investment I’ve made, still works perfectly! I no longer have rugs but use it for my mattress and spring cleaning. I’m hoping Kirby comes up with a robot version that I can leave running while I’m out running errands.
Liliana M.
I’ve had my Kirby since 1999 and I can honestly say that Kirby is the best vacuum on the market! and my Kirby has been my only vacuum for 4 years now since we got rid of our cheap plastic vacuum. I think that my Kirby can at least say running for another 20 years. This was by far the best investment I’ve ever made

In this day and age of disposable garbage there will always be people that are willing to pay for quality and willing to pay to maintain those items. My only hope is that there are enough of those people around to keep companies like Kirby building and servicing high quality products. It shows that Kirby as a company cares about what they build and cares about their customers. Thank you very much for the wonderful products and wonderful service.
Richard P.
I received this Kirby for Christmas about 45 years ago and loved it ever since. It sure did get a lot of use. It sure did get a lot of use. Now you (the people at Kirby) made my Christmas again! I just can’t thank you enough.

The main advantages of Kirby vacuum cleaners.
In the home cleaning market, Kirby vacuum cleaners have gained great popularity. If you are thinking about buying a particular model, you should carefully study its technical characteristics. On our website you can order carpet shampoo
Filtration system in Kirby vacuum cleaners
Vacuum cleaners of this brand are equipped with a HEPA filtration system. Its characteristic feature is that it does not allow the return of the smallest particles of dust from the vacuum cleaner back into the room. When buying a Kirby vacuum cleaner, pay attention to the type of filtration system. It is divided into classes from H10 to H13. The numerical value in this case characterizes the percentage of particles up to 0.06 microns in size that are captured by the filter. If HEPA H10 does not pass up to 85% of dust, then H13 is able to cope with 99. 95%.
Mechanical drive in Kirby vacuum cleaners
One of the most important design features of this manufacturer’s equipment is the TechDrive drive. Vacuum cleaners “Kirby” are quite heavy (up to 12 kilograms). However, it is not difficult to move them around the room, due to the fact that their wheels are technically connected to the engine.
Kirby Mechanical Turbo Brush
Kirby’s secret to cleaning carpets effectively lies in the use of the turbo brush. The high speed of its rotation allows the vacuum cleaner to suck up the dust that is between the villi of the carpet. The result of cleaning, thanks to this feature, will be more pronounced and clearly will make sure of the technical superiority of “Kirby” over other brands. It is recommended to use the turbo brush during cleaning 1-2 times a week.
Nozzles for Kirby vacuum cleaners
The presence of a large number of accessories in the basic configuration allows the device to be used for household needs for which vacuum cleaners are not usually used. With their help, you can clean the upholstery of furniture and walls from dust. The Zippbrush nozzle saves on dry-cleaning costs as it removes dirt from all types of clothing. A separate brush in the basic configuration of the Kirby vacuum cleaner is designed for deep cleaning of mattresses. It allows you to get rid of not only dust, but also saprophytes. You can use a special nozzle for curly surfaces (stucco, bas-reliefs). In order to clean the ceiling fans, clean the blinds and remove dust under the cabinets, it is worth purchasing a set of additional nozzles for the vacuum cleaner. The presence of the pneumatic pump function allows you to perform such actions as inflating the mattress, pool, car wheels, various balls and balls. After using these items, blowing them off will also help the vacuum cleaner. Due to the use of nozzles, the device can be upgraded an unlimited number of times.
Care of Kirby vacuum cleaners
It is necessary to monitor the condition of the dust collector and filtration system. Thorough cleaning of these elements is required after each cleaning. In other aspects, the Kirby vacuum cleaner does not require any special operating conditions.
