This is in regards to the recent request for "vacuum cleaner
recommendations" from Nancy Mintz. I am posting this for the
benefit of everyone. Hope you find it useful.
Nancy,
This is in regards to your posting in "net.consumers" asking
for recommendations for GOOD vacuum cleaners. My wife and I
also live in a house with carpeting throughout (except kitchen
and bathroom). We also have a dog and two birds, which adds
to the problem of keeping carpets clean.
We recently purchased a "Kirby" vacuum cleaner/rug cleaner combo
and am VERY SATISFIED with the product, so far anyway. It came with
a two year warranty + a thirty (30) year re-building agreement.
It is rather expensive, but in the long run it should SAVE you alot
of money, mostly due to it's versatility/durability. It converts to
the following; 1) Canister Type Vacuum, 2) Upright Vacuum, 3) Dry
Foam Rug Shampooer (?), 4) Small Air Compressor ( 1 P.S.I).
It also comes with many useful attatchments. It does a SUPER JOB
on our carpeting. The product is well put together and easily
converts to ANY of the above uses. It is also rather light weight
and has wide caster rollers for easy manuvering.
All in all I'd say it IS WORTH the money ($850- tax included). If
If you'd like more info, please send me EMAIL. I'll get back to you
a.s.a.p with more info. Hope this helps you out, good luck in your
search. Have an interesting day!!
Best Regards,
Steve Aldrich
