100% find a used Kirby or bagged vacuum with push-pull assist. Always test used. You're gonna save yourself a huge chunk of money buying used. Contrary too what people say on this reddit, bagged uprights that let you pull the brushroll out, for hard floors are the best thing ever. I've never been a canister vacuum fan. I love my used Kirby avalir 2. Whole kit, used with 20 extra bags for 50 US dollars. Two dogs here. A corgi and a great Dane. Their hair length, fineness, and density are polar opposites. The Kirby gets every single hair fiber in one push and pull, per path. Disclaimer I am not biased. I've been fixing, wiring and rebuilding vacuums of all kinds since I was 6 years old. Just knew how to do it all since birth I guess. Used and tested every vacuum on the market starting in 2015, when I started my appliance business and cleaning business. Too this day I can NOT find any model that compares too Kirbys.
Buy a used Kirby vacuum on FB marketplace. Go for a Heritage 2 or later G series Kirby vacuum and you'll be quite satisfied. With the G series, Sentria, or Avalir models, you can find a lot of attatchments for them. They made the same basic vacuum and attatchemts for 30+ years so they are interchangeable. You can still get parts for all of them. The Heritage 2 and older ones are great vacuums but parts and attatchments for them aren't as easy to find. They're still out there though on ebay a lot. Any vacuum store is more likely to carry parts for the newer ones. These Kirby vacuums are a bit heavy and bulky but they have so many uses and last forever. I have one from the 1950s that still works great! You can't buy a better vacuum for longevity.
Same as me the first one was a Kirby ‘84
And a couple of years ago I bought a beautiful new Kirby Avelir..they both still work perfectly.. nothing better.. especially the new one with the transmission. Well worth the money.. I wouldn’t take a Dyson if it was given to me
We had a Kirby salesman stop by our house when we were growing up. My father let him in and allowed his pitch. Now, my parents loved wine, specifically my dad, and the salesman seemed to notice this and capitalized on it. He told my dad that the Kirby can pull wine stains out of a carpet, my father being him, called his bluff. Bout an hour later he cut the check and had a brand new vacuum with the carpet shampoo system attachment. Guy sold about $3k worth of product in the first 5 minutes.
Kirby vacuums are truly some of the best, if not the best (they still have it and use it regularly, and this happened 20 years ago)
