Shady things: I am a middle age respectful Christian family man. I actually own a Kirby, bought it in 2005. For a vacuum it works well but there are numerous down-sides. Its heavy as an elephant, the ""extra"" things it does are not practical nor easy as they make it appear in the demonstration. I am a very successful mechanical engineer and crane operator and I don't understand the dang thing. On another note, the ""fortune 500"" company that sells these is no different than Avon or Mary Kay and how many people really have luck with either of them? Also, they advertise as hiring ""home maintenance"" but in actuality it is a job selling bazaar, heavy, and hard to use vacuums. I found that out after taking a relative of mine to the job interview. They won't advertise Kirby on the building nor will they talk about it in the lobby and there are no signs or pictures of what they do. If they are SO good then why hide like that? I cannot and will not speak on the reputation of anyone who works there but I will say that if its a shady place then there will be shady people there and most likely you will get a shady paycheck. Use caution if you choose to proceed, its not my cup of tea.
