My Gawd - Kirby Vacuum salesman [View all]

to this group.

A guy came around from the local Kirby store and offered to clean the rug in one room of the house for free.

I needed to have this done, and done badly.

So, I went for it.

He tried to sell me this machine, a Kirby Salina II. At first, it was $3,000.00, then it was $2500.00 and finally $1,000.00.

I declined and I was the one, crappy old me, that ended up doing the "work" so to speak.

He left the house a mess but yeah, at least my living room rug got cleaned by dumbo me.



Anyway, I liked this vacuum I must admit but how practical is this for me? Not at all practical.

This happened a couple of hrs. ago and I can barely move now from having to move too many things around (not easy w/disabled pain pain pain believe me).

Anyway, can any one recommend something else similar to this that might be a lot cheaper and easier to handle?

Please advise if you can.

Thanks so much y'all!
