Sentria

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. 

Tenho um sentria. Resolve o problema dos pelos na roupa que é uma maravilha

Your Kirby will last through the apocalypse.

Find a used Kirby Sentria. We’ve been using ours for 15 years. It’s a beast of a machine

They definitely aren’t the most nimble machines. But they’re great at what they do and add in the benefits of the 1000 adding run by the propeller. I do get what you’re saying for sure. We use robots and run the Kirby weekly for corners.

I’m wondering if it’s high pile carpet that’s causing it. I have carpet in one room that most machines don’t do well on. I didn’t realize it was high pile, I thought that was only shag carpeting.  My Kirby is the only thing that really clean it.

Sentria. I bought one in eBay and got a second at an estate sale. Learning curve but great machine if you can get a good deal.  I’m not sure if it’s the carpet or the thick padding, but the Kirby is the only thing that works 

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)

Kirby upstairs and a Shop-Vac downstairs. The Kirby is an absolute beast, worth every penny.
