Beware of Kirby sales scam - they reel you in to get in to your house with a pitch that they will get a free vacation or some kind of credit just to let them show you the vac.
The salseperson showed no ID, gave no buisness card, had no Kirby shirt, the van had no authorized Kirby signage (it had Kirby written in crayon on the window!)
Even though you say your not interested and won't be buying one (I told the salesperson I had just bought a new Bissell carpet machine and a Hoover Whirlwind) - But they make you feel sorry for them saying no one else has let them show their vac today and they will get a free vacation or some kind of credit and you don't have to be interested in buying one but you will get a FREE carpet cleaning. A TOTAL LIE!
They lie to you and tell you you don't have to buy anything to get a FREE CARPET CLEANING but they end up only cleaning one very small area for the sales demo.
Again they lie and say the demo won't take long but it takes at least 2 and a half hours! You will have trouble getting them to leave when they were there too long, they get dropped off and tell you they have to wait for the driver to come back. You will have to demand they leave and kick them out.
I did like some things about the kirby, (it seems to have an amazingly strong suction and is supposedly made in the USA) however it is way, way overpriced and I wouldn't give this scumbag company a dime because of the way they choose to have their product marketed, I don't care how good it is!
I say "they" because if you look at all of the other posts on the web you will find that all of these exact same tactics were used over and over by other Kirby salespeople with other consumers, that tells me that these tactics are part of the Kirby sales training!
Also beware they will use an authorized subcontract distributor sales company who in turn could hire (without their knowledge) any criminal scum without a background check to come in to your house, or even worse the salesperson may not even be an authorized Kirby salesperson at all, or may be a scam artist trying to sell stolen Kirbys or just take your money or steal something from your house.
The sales people were asking too many personal questions. Beware of anyone you let in to your house, they see what you have and they could come back (or have someone else) later to burgularize your house!
Kirby Company is scum of the earth for allowing these sales tactics to be used.
