Battle of the $1000 Vacuums

Most consumers are happy with their $100 Hoover vacuums from Sears. But some have fallen victim to a little marketing tactic called the door to door salesman. After an amazing product demonstration showing a vacuum that can suck the hair off your head, the happy couple goes home with an amazing piece of technology. But is it really worth it? And what can these high-end vacuums do?

Kirby is well known at the upper end vacuum market. These products not only perform well, but rarely need to be taken into a Denver Kirby vacuum repair technician. The new upscale competitor for Kirby is Dyson. The Dyson is very good, but when it comes to the common vacuum clogging problem, Kirby is ahead because their suction tubes are much wider. Their suction pressure is also higher despite the fact that a bigger, longer tube generally equals less pressure. Dyson vacuums have unique technology in that they do not loose sucking power as they fill up with dirt. However, Kirbys will still work harder and pull in more air even with a full bag, although they do lose some suction.

The bagless technology is very popular now and the leader in our little competition so far still goes with old-school vacuum bag technology. Kirby vacuum repair is less common because the frame is sturdier than other brands. This makes them a little heavier and unwieldy though. However with proper care, and maybe a little help from your Denver vacuum repairs company, Kirbys will last over 25 years.

All brands at this price scale come with all kinds of attachments, tools and doodads. While the usefulness of some can be questioned, carpet shampooing and duster applicators are unquestionably positives you should find in anything that costs this much. Some of these brands can only be bought from those door to door salesmen, who won't accept less than $1,000 for a new cleaner. In any case, these products should have an ironclad warranty before you buy. Some will let you choose your own vacuum repair company as part of the warranty should anything go wrong, while others just make you send it back to the manufacturer.
