Dyson or Kirby?

Kids with old tooth brushes.

The only thing I hate is that my wife and daughter shed like crazy, so I'm always having to take scissors to the brush because it ends up looking like a giant hair curler, but that's going to happen with any vac.

The solution is simple - have your wife and daughter get haircuts like this:

Love our Kirby. Was handed down to us by my wifes grandmother. Thing is a tank. Looks like it was made in the 20's (exaggeration) and weighs a TON! The lights dim in the house when we turn it on.

I am almost as afraid of it as my dogs are. . . I think with good reason.

Kirby vacuums are probably still superior (they definitely used to be), but the company is just below Al Qaeda in their business practices (don't ever sign anything to finance a kirby).

I tried selling Kirbys when I was just out of high-school for a time and couldn't stomach how badly they were screwing folks over.

When my brother tried selling them, he ran through his schpiel with us first. The vacuum did an outstanding job, but I did not care for their sales tactics (see my above comment about septic tanks). The only place I've seen with worse tactics is Craftmatic; that's some special kind of sleaze right there.

I have owned Rainbow, Kirby and now Dyson. Wife and I like the Dyson better but agree they don't hold up like a Kirby.

Wood floors and dust mop with the steamer (shark?) a couple times a month!

My stepdad had a used Kirby that lasted forever. I like Dyson.
