Evolving Vacuum Technology

The Kirby vacuum cleaner was on the cutting edge of the revolution that brought American housewives from beating their rugs with tennis rackets to vacuuming carpets once a month with their made-in-america cleaners. Whether or not this was really a step forward may be up for debate, but the fact is almost every home in America now has at least one vacuum cleaner. The exercise in beating a rug is out, but the new round of cheap vacuum cleaners has put the Kirby vacuum repair services in business. Of course the top-end Kirby vacuums are selling for over $1,000 and can suck the white out of rice, but many families today resort to the $29.99 Wal-mart special.

These cleaners are basically identical to the 1950's cleaners in terms of vacuum power, but the Chinese assembly is not always up to the same quality. If you have one of these cheap things, simply replacing it is probably cheaper than taking it to a Denver vacuum repairs shop. This is probably the company's selling strategy anyways.

Those Kirby vacuums on the other hand are so expensive that taking them to your Denver Kirby vacuum repairs shop can be seen as an investment. Most damaged vacuum cleaners have a simple problem like a broken belt or clogged filter. Some college students and new owners do not even realize that their cleaners have bags that need to be replaced. And "bagless" versions have been challenging consumers for years. It is as if they think this technology puts a black hole in the vacuum that will suck up everything into an infinitely small space. The fact is that there is a lot of dirt on your floors and when you are vacuuming it up, it means you want it to go somewhere. Bagless technology still concentrates all that hair and skin into a container.

The next step up in difficulty in a vacuum repair job is electrical problems. Frayed wires and burnt out engines are the most common problems. Wires can be replaced easily by vacuum repair techs. A burnt motor is also easy to replace, but the cost of the replacement can be steep. Vacuum cleaner motors are more similar to air conditioning compressors than blenders or other appliance motors.
