    Default sooo i bought a kirby vacuum :P

    and holy bejeezus the sales guy was really good and the nastyness that came out of the carpet i coudlnt say no... plus i have really bad allergies. i jewed his ass down to 800 from 1700, which i though was pretty good so i dont feel near as bad as i thought i would. plus its a carpet shampooer and got out stains that my old carpet shampooer couldnt get out.


    eh oh, there i go self rationalizing...lol

    anyway its pretty rad, and believe it or not it kicked my dysons ass.

    i think i have a vacuum fetish....

    I've been happy with mine, although I do work up a sweat every time I change the attachments.

    That's not a polite phrase, it's very racist. I hope you just didn't know that.

    I have one...I used to work for them . Gotta find a new shampooer though. Fucking best vacuum I've ever used. Hate the way they are sold but the fluff of clean shampooed carpets is great.

    was this a door to door salesman who hustled you for a couple of VIPs worth of vacuum?

    that's amazing!

    how else do you phrase something like that?

    im not racist against jews, its just a phrase i have always heard and used. caaaaaalllllm doooowwwwwwnnnnnnn.

    yeah the attachements seem a bit clumsy to get on, but after i saw the guy get all the nastyness out of the bed i knew it would be worth it....

    he was trying to win some sort of contest and was the regional manager, so he wqas the only one who could knock it down so low.

    Have you ever heard of the word "bargained"? It's "I bargained him down," in case you're looking for alternate phrasing.

    I believe that you were honestly ignorant of the fact that it's an offensive phrase. I met people in Ohio who sincerely thought that "colored" was not offensive. And people in Texas who used the phrase "ni----rigged" without a second thought. They were just ignorant, not racist. Well, on second thought, they were probably racist but not intending their words to be hurtful. But you should be aware of it now and not trying to tell others to calm down, but be willing to learn and be a little more sensitive.

    Anyhow, enjoy the vacuum. Sounds cool. My mom had an old Kirby that lasted for twenty-five years.

    I'm sorry, I don't mean to further derail this thread, but I am sincerly confused.

    I met people in Ohio who sincerely thought that "colored" was not offensive.
    I didn't know referring to someone as a colored person was offensive? I mean...I've heard many times, " I am a woman of color" and that is not offensive, so why is a person of color an offensive term? Call me ignorant, but I'm not all that knowledgable about derogatory terms, as I don't use em. I would certainly hate to use a word that someone found offensive due to my own ignorance.

    I wonder what kind of commission they get. I've never heard of this kirby vacuum. I just got a Bissel and ..works for me. It was a gift (I asked for it,) but I think it was 50 or under.

    They higher they sell the vacuum for they more commission they get. I think the highest commission for the full price of like 1800 something is like 300 something dollars. Its been a long time since I worked for them. After I quit dancing with no savings that paid decent I needed a job quick or I was going to be homeless.

    To be honest with you the ones who sell it for under 1k are the machines you should throughly inspect as they have been not been cleaned. Sometimes a person returns it and they don't clean them meaning they could bring germs from someone elses house to yours.

    I love my kirby and shampooing used to dry in 30 minutes but here's a site exposing them. Overall its a good product but some people are just shady.

    I have never heard of a Kirby vacuum before. What makes them so great? I went on the website but it didn't really tell me anything.

    they actually suction to your floor and get all the dirt and sand out deep down, plus they are engineered by NASA. lifetime gaurentees on the motor, and its also a carpet scrubber.

    Isn't that the same thing that a Dyson vac does?

    Well, after reading the url, I do not care how good a vacuum it is, I'll never buy one. I hate telemarketers and email spammers too and never buy anything from them.
