Did you know that Kirby vacuums are one of the last vacuums made in the USA?  Did you know that we see them last 30+ years all the time?   Did you know that Consumer Reports ranked the Kirby vacuum as the most dependable vacuum in the world?

My wife and I recently walked into a carpet store and the salesman asked what we do for a living.   We explain that we own GreatVacs.   The salesman smiles and says "Did you know that our carpet installers can tell what kind of a vacuum the home owner uses?".  My curiosity peaked I said "No I did not.  How?".   He said "Normally when our installers pull back the carpet pad there is a bunch of dirt and sand under the carpet pad.   However, if they own a Kirby vacuum the floor is clean with no dirt and sand under the carpet pad.".   This is the other thing we have noticed about Kirby vacuums.   With our tests we rank them the #1 deep cleaner and the #1 vacuum for sucking up pet hair.

The only downside that we see in Kirby vacuum is the attachment hose is little more difficult than most vacuums to put on (takes about 20 seconds to attach the hose).However, if you are OK with that and are looking for a vacuum powerful enough to suck the core out of the earth then we suggest the Kirby vacuum :)
