Hi! Have you ever been sitting in the livingroom, maybe watching tv and drinking a tall glass of water then *DING DONG*, the doorbell rings? Begrudgingly, you walk to the door to answer. As soon as the door opens, you are met with a well-groomed, khaki pant, polo shirt wearing salesperson displaying a huge smile! Fast forward 2 hours later, you find yourself excited because you just made a huge investment on a Kirby vacuum cleaner. The sales pitch was great and the demonstration was remarkable. You felt as if you could not live without it lol. Well, that person was my wife! She convinced me to purchase the state of the art vacuum cleaner and after years of use, I am glad I did. The vac is still in excellent condition and comes with a plethora of attachments as well as the original manual. This is not your typical retail type of vac. This Kirby is suitable for residential and/or commercial use. My wife and I recently hired a cleaning service and no longer use the vac. I hope this Kirby can make its way to a great home. I am selling at a heavily reduced price in order to sell quickly. Feel free to test before you purchase. Pet free, smoke free, bug free home!! Thanks!
