The Kirby Surprise

Okay, so I thought a vacuum was just a vacuum. As long as it picked up stuff off the floor and left it feeling good to walk on we were in good shape. That is until we had a surprise visitor show up at our door and want to demonstrate the Kirby vacuum. Now let me begin by saying that we moved into our brand new home just three months ago. Everything is still really fresh and new. As he begins to pull out the vacuum to show us how great it works, I'm thinking to myself "there can't be too much for him to show us. The carpet is really new and clean." As he continues his demonstration, much to my surprise he was able to pull out quite a bit of dirt from a small patch of carpet. I was really amazed and grossed out at the same time. I thought I had a really clean house, but apparently there's already a lot of dirt and stuff hiding under the carpet. And that was just the beginning. As a lot of you probably know, the Kirby is a multi-purpose machine. Besides being a deep-cleaning upright, it also converts into a canister vacuum, a carpet shampoo system, and a floor buffer. It also has a whole bunch of different attachments to use for various things from simply getting into those hard-to-reach areas to removing debris from upholstered furniture to polishing and buffing hard wood floors. I could go on and on about all the different things that it is capable of but I will just say that after the demonstration, I was truly amazed at this machine. I would have liked to purchase one that very day, but being that we were not expecting that visitor that day we were unable to throw out the money for it (as they are a little expensive). It was sad to see him walk out the door with my new favorite vacuum, but we do plan to get one in the near future. I can hardly wait!
