Are Kirby vacuum cleaners really as good as they say they are?

booboobear asked:


I had a demonstration once and the Kirby vacumm did seem to be sucking the dirt up from not only the rugs but also under the floorboards! I was amazed to say the least. But I’d like to know what the owners of them think. Tell me all about the good and bad sides of this vacuum. Thanks :)

Hi I’m considering buying one as I have back problems and vacuuming is tough for me, but I’m not sure how effective they would be. If anyone has used one, please let me know, Thank you!

How long do vacuum cleaners last?

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010
~ Jamie ~ asked:


I have a Eureka Whirlwind (canister vacuum cleaner). I have probably had it for 4 years or so. Sometimes it “spits” out garbage from the canister. Should a vacuum cleaner last only 4 years? Or maybe the belt needs to be changed? Any ideas?

What company produces the world’s most efficient vacuum cleaners?

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010
seafish asked:


Has anyone ever heard of the brand called Lux? It’s damn expensive, and can be bought through the company’s “local representatives” that visit you in your home and present the vacuum cleaner for you. Is it worth the price?

The Manual History of the Modern Bagless Vacuum Cleaners

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
Randy Letter asked:


With the extended use of electricity throughout the world especially during the 19th century housecleaning became a lot easier. Hand crank powered suctioned instruments were used to remove dirt and residue from the floors of many homes and businesses. The first hand cranked vacuum cleaner was produced in 1868 in Chicago. It was definitely a challenge to operate because the vacuum cleaner had to be pushed and cranked at the same time which required a lot of energy and was very time consuming. Even though the vacuum cleaner was very difficult to operate individuals still opted to use it because there was no other product available to remove dirt and residue from their floors. The first vacuum cleaner that operated by the use of electric power was manufactured in Savannah, Georgia and did not occur until the year 1900.

In 1908 the beater bar was first produced which was actually the rotating brush. There are been many great upgrades to the electric powered vacuum cleaner since that time. One of those upgrades was the canister. The canister was very beneficial to the vacuum cleaner because it utilized the exhaust to make an airfoil that made the vacuum cleaner to easily drift across the floor. With the upgrades made throughout the years to the electric powered vacuum cleaner it was capable of picking up dirt and residue a lot easier. Now became the inconvenience of removing the small granules of dirt and dust from the filtered bags that were used. So finally the bagless vacuum cleaner was developed and made the task much easier.

At this present time there is not a home that exists that does not occupy a vacuum cleaner whether it is a bagless vacuum cleaner or not. The bagless vacuum cleaner is so convenient makes cleaning your floor or carpet a lot easier. Other types of vacuum cleaners are used to clean the dirt and residue from hardwood or vinyl floors but more often than not they are used to clean carpet. When using a vacuum cleaner of any type of floor beside carpet the roaring noise is a lot louder because carpet dulls the sound.

Power Source

Bagless Vacuum cleaner manufacturing is a very competitive market because everyone is searching for a vacuum cleaner that offers the most amount of suction power and many different styles that offer this great feature. The amp is how the power of a bagless vacuum cleaner is portrayed which must offer the peak suction but sometimes it can be portrayed incorrectly. The amp rating is basically the amount of suction power that the bagless vacuum cleaner provides per the manufacturers.

The cleaning power of the bagless vacuum cleaner is also based on different features and techniques which includes the tightness of the suction head to the carpet or floor when the machine is turned on, state of the brushes that are attached to the beater bar, and last but not least the kind of dirt and residue that the bagless vacuum cleaner is attempting to pick up.

When it comes to the power that the bagless vacuum cleaner can provide the filtering device is also responsible and the various ways of capturing debris inside of the bagless vacuum cleaner. It is also important to keep the debris from back flowing out into the atmosphere. There are many different types of filters that have different capabilities of keeping debris captured. Some filters offer the capabilities to keep tiny particles of pollen and dust mites from back flowing out into the atmosphere.

Accessories For The Vacuum Cleaner

Friday, January 1st, 2010
Low Jeremy asked:


It may take some time for the person to buy a vacuum cleaner given that there are more than 30 brands to choose from in the market. When that has been done, the only way this household appliance can last for a number of years before deciding to buy a new one will be for it to undergo proper maintenance.

The care given to the machine is the same regardless of the brand. This means cleaning the brushes after each use, checking the filter it is clean and throwing away the dirt bag when it is full.

Cleaning it alone is just one way to make sure this is functioning properly. The other will be changing some of the accessories since these things will not be as good as before due to wear and tear.

A good example is the airbag. Most of the vacuum cleaner manufacturers produce disposable ones and not the kind that is machine washable. This is because it gives these companies a lot of money in producing these goods as well as coming up with better models for the market.

The person might think that buying vacuum cleaner bags that is generic will save money. In fact, there may be some at the appliance or hardware store. People should remember that this may be good in the short term but this could cause problems for the machine so it is always best to get it straight from the manufacturer.

If the person doesn’t know which one to get, it is best to bring a sample in to the store. If there aren’t any left at home, getting the model number of the vacuum cleaner and asking the sales clerk for help is the next best option.

If the individual knows that this has to be replaced every 3 months, perhaps it is best to buy it in sets or in a pack so the customer does not have to make frequent trips to the store should this run out again.

The same thing should be done for the accessories because the quality of the brushes or the filter inside the vacuum cleaner will also deteriorate after some time.

There is another way to save on money if the person doesn’t want to go out and buy dirt bags. There are some vacuum cleaners that use water or air to capture dirt, which can be drained or transformed into breathable air.
