Cordless tech on vacuums ain't there yet unfortunately.

I will never not recommend Kirby for vacuum bifl. Have one from the eighties still out performing everything

What about it isn’t there yet? I’ve had a cordless Dyson for five years and it’s amazing. Never ever ever going back to an old school wired monster, the difference in convenience is night and day.

Never had much luck with cordless and pet hair

Understandable. My Siberian cat disagrees though.

I have a Dyson V12 and a pug that sheds year-round. Love the V12, and have bought a lot of the accessories to use as a smaller hand-held that make it super versatile.

Alright then. Granted it's been a couple of years so I'll have to look into that. Thanks

The Dysons indicated for pet hair deliver. My husband had the old upright for years with his Huskie. We only got rid of it because I had my Miele coming into the marriage, and he no longer had the Huskie. We bought the Dyson V to keep my mother’s house tidy from all her grandpuppies, and it continues to deliver 2 years hence.

Kirby is the best vac out there. My parents still use the one they bought in the 80s and it’s a champ.

I have an Electrolux from the late 80’s that I still use. It’s much less effective than the Kirby (less suction power) but it’s nowhere close to breaking down

I’m surprised I don’t see Kirby mentioned here more often. I bought mine 10 years ago because my grandmother still had one from the ‘60s. Both vacuums still work fine.

I do understand that folks can be turned off by their shady sales tactics, though. I’d recommend buying one online or in an authorized retailer before letting their rep into your home
