The name says it all. My new Kirby vacuum is well built mostly out of metal and does suck up all the dust. That’s what I like the most about it. Once it gets hold of dust, dust never escapes. It works equally well on wood or tile, any kind.
But it is a man’s tool. It is terrifyingly noisy. The upright transforms into a canister with wands so you can vacumn the walls and ceilings. That is if you have arms like Tarzan. The wands are heavy and I may never use them again. As always I have half an hour to clean and focus on the floor where things crunch when you step on them. Mostly bits of dog biscuits.
The transformer capability means I could wreck it during transformation. And it does not amuse me to have a major appliance change into something else. How much time do the inventors think I have to play with toys? Like I said. Half an hour.
The thing has so many attachments and special tools I could open a shop. Those are all safely stored in the basement. The demo went on for hours and though entertaining, I finally bought the thing just to get the salesman out of the house.
Now I have to figure out who to leave it to in my will.
Don’t leave it to me. I abandoned my vacuum yesterday for a broom with a dust cloth strapped around it.
