Again worth mentioning that the kirby is an outstanding vaccuum cleaner, but the sales tactics used are deplorable. We agreed to one of theose free carpet cleanings and had a salesman come to the house. After the impressive demonstration we agreed to purchase a G6.
After findingout that out credit was not quite good enough for the G6 the salesman said he could offer us a factory reconditioned model from the previous year at a savings of $500 compared to the G6. We agreed on the stipulation that it be 2 things, clean and warrentied. I was shocked when what arrived was a vaccuum that looked like it came right from someone elses house. It was filthy.
Oh yeah and since I did not have the state of mind to verify such things, he put it in under the original contract with the G6 crossed out but for the same price. Kirbys are warrentied by name, so you dont need it in writing, but come on people. I paid the same price as new for 2 year old used vaccuum that I had to scrub clean myself before the wife even saw it.
Yeah they suck pretty good, but not as much as the salemen.
Buyer beware.
