Re: Re: More bad news about vacuum cleaners

Barb, After living in Japan for 4 years I got pretty used to it but also doing

service work comeing in and out ov many homes there are several culters that

would never wear shoes inside unless they were house shoes which is what I do.

I would like to mention though the Kirby is a very good vacume as far as

cleaning carpet well. I dont say that because I once sold them, HA ha, but I

think common sence would tell us that it is much cleaner than not vacumeing. I

remember the vacume the matress thing we did to help sell the vacume and I can

tell you if you have not seen it it would make you nautious the stuff it pulls

out of the matress. leaning the bar often is a phobia I have and so I do that

and believe in it but I dont think that you should worry to much with the vacume

you have. The only thing it does not have unless they startyed useing them is a

hepa filter but it is a good vacum..

Thinking about my own vacuum, a Kirby, the roller comes out and so I

could probably wash it, but I think gest of the story is that the

action of brush spreads microscopic things, rather than picks them up.

One suggestion they have is to stop wearing shoe in the house that were

outside. I don't know if I can ever get used to that. I'd have to

take them off in garage or similar, because if I wear them into

basement, then when I use basement for laundry, I'd have to change

shoes to go in and out of basement in order to not spread what's on

basement floor to upstairs. I guess I could do it but I wonder if that

is main or a very large source of the contamination they are talking

about. Then I have pets, so I'd have to wipe their paws off when they

came in. I'm not getting another pet after these are gone. It should

be 'this one' is gone but my one cat brought another cat home with him

through the pet door, where he found food and then she was around all

the time...so don't put a pet door in. He also started to bring mice

in, apparently in an effort to 'stock' house with goodies. I can't

keep him inside for reasons I won't go into, but other idea I have is

to build him a house of his own, outside.

Boy aint that the truth. My mom has one of those purple and clear ones that

looks like a space ship with a canaster. I have really liked that one but I hate

emptying it even when I dio it out side but it works very well and has several

filters, but your right its not little by any meqans. I wish I could trust the

orek pitch, it is small and light..

It's almost impossible to find a regular canister vacuum that ONLY

sucks in the dust. The uprights beat the rug and spread mold spores

and dust etc around.

And the uprights keep getting bigger and bigger. Why? Most people

are moving in smaller and smaller living quarters. llaci

Very true. The Kirby is the best in my opinion and lasts a lifetime but a brick

indeed but it just cant be beet. As far as the hepa parts I would guess if Kirby

has hepa bags I would lean again to thiers also. I cant remember why but I heard

or saw something about The oreck air filter which ruined it for the vacume

although when on my own I still may give it a shot. It is much cheaper. But yes

it is thier bag that is the only thing that is hepa but do seem like atleast

decent bags but that is just what I can tell on tv so I dont know. But I will

always trust a Kirby.

 

Elvis carpet, thats funny.... For me, if I ever had carpet it would be the short

commercial kind in the future. I really used to love good soft cushy carpet

though.

 

Anyway my bottomm line word for you is that I believe you shopuld have no worrys

about vacuming. You have the best there is.

I've been attracted to the Oreck's also because of the advertised

lightweight. That is the only thing I don't like about my Kirby, is

the weight. You used to sell them, huh? The Kirby salesmen can to

my home at perfect time. I had a new empty charge card for first

time. I use another vacuum on the second floor because the Kirby is

like carrying a piece of concrete. The upstairs vacuum is not good

at all. Oreck advertises 9 pounds I believe. I went to look at

them. They are lightweight. They let you take it home and try it

and I took it back because my wall to wall was 100% wool extra

fluffy, extra deep and it 'shed' LITERALLY, it did shed, just like a

sheep. THAT is what kept that 40 year old carpet looking clean.

I cant find that one by picture on the sight. This is the one my mom has that I

was talking about. Like I said the only thing I dont like is emptying the bucket

but its like triple filtered crazy. I have been very pleased.

Check it out for yourself at Home Depot. I really like it. I've had

it one whole month and it hasn't come apart yet. If it does, it

goes back to HD (we kept the box). llaci
