How do they continue to grow??? BY EXPLOITING THE HELL OUT OF UNSUSPECTING "CUSTOMERS". This thing is a total scam. The company is founded upon greed and lies. I haven't heard of too many people who weren't bigwigs of the company that had anything good to say.

Kirby vacuum cleaners have been sold in the US for over 90 years. They are sold by direct distributers who hire and train their own sales staff. We are an international corporation and a division of Scott/Fetzer Inc. It is very unfortunate that not all salespeople are honest and trustworthy, but this is not confined to "KIrby"!! This is one of the finest constructed,best quality and highest performance home cleaning systems ever designed and has been updated and improved continually for the past 75 years. Value and worth are subjective at best. Very few Kirby Reps have the problems being whined about here! If they were so bad a value... Why are they growing daily in a declining economy??? Again, sorry for your inconvenience.

I sympathize entirely with your feelings for the Kirby Company, but please realize it is not the salesmen perpetrating the crime. They are only the ones delivering the product's functions and price. The managers and execs are the ones really generating the ignorance, disrespect, and exploitation. It's a "don't kill the messenger" mentality. I know because I was a "dealer" for them as they called us.
