Vacuum Bum

While a vacuum is a necessity for any home, the fact is that they don’t all work the same. You may be using your current vacuum many times a week but there is still plenty of dirt and debris lurking in your carpets. I recently discovered just how true that statement was when I purchased a Kirby Sentria vacuum. I was absolutely shocked to learn that the vacuum I had wasn’t holding up its end of the bargain.

I had just used my old vacuum on the floors a few days before. Yet the first time I used this Kirby it picked up unbelievable amounts of dirt, debris, and pet hair from my carpets. It happened by accident actually, as a sales representative from Kirby came to the door and asked if he could give me a free demonstration. I wasn’t going to allow him to do so as I didn’t think I needed a new vacuum at the time. Yet he was very nice and also accentuated the great offers that Kirby is associated with so I finally relented.

While I was blown away by the initial power and suction of the Kirby Sentria vacuum, I figured it would be like others I had owned. I figured in a couple of months it wouldn’t be working as well. I am delighted to tell you that I have been using this vacuum several times a week for just over a year now. It still offers the same power and suction that it did the first time I used it. In fact, I find I have cut the number of times I vacuum each week in half which saves me a great deal of time.

One of the many reasons why I invested in the Kirby Sentria vacuum is because of the HEPA filter. It is able to remove 99.97% of the allergens in your home. This vacuum claims that it can help to improve the air quality of your home. While I was skeptical at first, I definitely think that has been the case during the past year we have been using it to clean our home. This HEPA filter can last for years too before you have to replace it. I take mine out occasionally and clean it up well to allow it to continue working its very best.

With so many of my family members suffering from allergies, we definitely need to do all we can to reduce dust and pollen that is in the air. I also love the fact that it comes with so many accessories. They are very simple to put on, to use, and then to store when I am done. I get more done in less time with these accessories and I don’t have to move heavy furniture out of my way any more. I also am not tempted to only vacuum in the areas where people will see it! I have to admit I have done that in the past because it was too difficult to get my vacuum cleaner into those areas.

I recommend getting a storage container that you can place all of your accessories in. This way they won’t get lost. Some people don’t like the fact that the accessories don’t stay on the Kirby Sentria vacuum. I like that they are separate as it makes the vacuum more user friendly. If you always know where those accessories are, then this won’t be a problem for you either. Your vacuum will also come with an accessory holder that you can attach to a wall in your home or garage if you want.

Here are some of the great accessories that come with the Kirby Sentria vacuum:

• Attachment to shampoo your carpets – fast and easy to put on
• Carpet fluffier – gives your carpeting new life as it looks better and feels softer
• Carpet shampooer – now you can easily remove stains quickly
• Ceiling brush – don’t allow cobwebs and dirt to accumulate in your ceiling corners
• Crevice tool that has a removable brush – excellent for removing dirt and debris along the edges of the wall
• Extension tool – perfect for vacuuming under furniture without having to move it. You can also use it to remove dirt and debris from curtains and blinds
• Floor buffer – bring your dull tile floors back to a vibrant state
• Floor vacuum attachment – use it to get those hard to reach areas
• Upholstery brush – remove the dirt and debris from your furniture with ease
• Stair attachment – vacuuming your stairs has never been easier
• Wall brush – great when you have tough areas to clean

While I mainly use my Kirby Sentria vacuum on my carpets, it is important to mention that it works great on tile as well. Now you don’t need to get out the broom and dust pan to keep things cleaned up. You don’t have to mess with adjusting anything either as this vacuum is smart enough to know what it needs to do on its own. Now cleaning up after dinner as well as keeping the bathrooms looking nice is faster and easier than in the past.

From time to time it is necessary to shampoo your carpets too. You may have a stain that you want to spot remove or you find it is time to do all of the carpets to give them a fresh look. No matter what the case may be, the Kirby Sentria vacuum can be used for that purpose as well. That’s right, this vacuum has a built in shampoo system that is simple to use and will remove deep down dirt and stains from your carpets. The technology of this vacuum cleaner allows the areas you shampooed to dry very rapidly as well.

I think my carpets look better than they have in years. In fact, some guests that have come over ask when I got new carpet! The combination of deep down cleaning and the carpet shampooer really do make a difference. At the same time the Kirby Sentria vacuum is very gentle on the fibers of your carpet. Not only will they be very clean, they will last a very long time. Since carpet is often a large expense, the more years you can get out of it the better.

One of the reasons that my carpets look and feel better since I started using the Kirby Sentria vacuum is due to the fluffier. This technology actually makes your carpets feel soft and fluffy again. You will notice a huge difference from how they look today and then how they look after you have used the Kirby Sentria vacuum on them several times. This can make any room in your home look and feel more inviting.

For your tile flooring, you may notice that it can become dull over the course of time. However, with the Kirby Sentria vacuum there is also the chance to buff it out very fast and easily. You can bring the shine back to those types of flooring in your home in no time at all. You will love the way that completing this task completely transforms the overall appearance of any room in your home. After you have buffed it, polish it with the vacuum as well so it stays looking great for a very long time.

The fact that Kirby has such longevity is important to me, and it should be to you as well. In the past I have needed to get work done on a vacuum cleaner and no one in the area did that brand. Also, I couldn’t order replacement parts that I needed to keep such equipment operational. While you won’t have problems with your Kirby because of the quality, it is nice to know you can turn to a certified dealer if something does come up.

I also have read reports online that people using a Kirby vacuum that are more than 25 years old can still get the parts they need. In my own opinion, it is more cost effective to fix a vacuum than to buy a brand new one. With this particular product you get that choice while so many others force you into buying a completely new vacuum. From time to time you will need to invest in replacing items on your Kirby Sentria vacuum. For example you should have extra bags on hand. They are affordable and they are also very easy to put on and to take off.

The only negative thing I have to say about the Kirby Sentria vacuum is that it is heavier than most. It tips the scales at about 25 pounds. However, it isn’t too heavy that I can’t carry it up and down the stairs when it is time to vacuum up the floors. Perhaps one day I will invest in another one so that I have one on each level of the house. For now though, I will gladly cart it around in order to enjoy this level of cleanliness in my carpets.

On the positive side though, I don’t think this vacuum is too heavy for regular use. I mean, I am able to easily push it around all of the rooms in my house without too much effort. It turns very well at the corners which is nice for me. I like to use the cervix tool and the edging tool so that I can get all of the lint and debris that build up in the corners of every room in my house. The technology behind it claims that it is as light as a feather and it really is when you are pushing it around.

When you buy a Kirby Sentria vacuum, you are getting a remarkable piece of merchandise. You won’t be disappointed with it at all. Don’t let the fact that it costs more than many other models of vacuums out there. You will definitely get what you pay for in terms of quality. Since the Kirby Sentria vacuum is also very well made, it is going to be a vacuum you can depend on for many years. They retail for between $500 and $1,200.

Kirby often offers great payment plans too so don’t worry if you can’t cover the entire cost at one time. They will help you come up with a way that works best for you. Of course you can buy used or refurbished Kirby Sentria vacuums but they won’t come with a warranty. If you aren’t convinced that it is the best contact a local Kirby dealer and ask them to come over with one and demonstrate for you how well it works.

However, I am positive that once you see the amazing difference it offers from what your usual vacuum does you will definitely want to move forward with the purchase. Kirby has always had a strong presence in the world of vacuums. They were first introduced in the 1920’s, and continue to have a high volume of sales today. This is because customers know that they are going to get a very reliable product from Kirby.

The warranty for the Kirby Sentria vacuum is 3 years, but you can be certain it is going to last you much longer than that. In fact, many consumers will tell you that theirs has worked for at least two decades! What you should be excited about is the fact that this vacuum has very high ratings. Take a look around online and you will find plenty of independent reviews from very happy consumers.

The fact that the Kirby Sentria vacuum is so much more than that is a huge selling point. Why spend money on a carpet shampooer and a buffer separately when you can get all of those benefits from just one vacuum? This is really the last vacuum you will have to invest your time and money in. If you have felt left down in the past with other vacuums than you will certainly love and appreciate all that the Kirby Sentria vacuum has to offer you.
