Q:Is kirby vacuum cleaners an MLM?

No. It is a franchised single owner business.

Q:My little cousin cries a lot when I turn the vacuum on and the dog runs away barking. Why? Sorry if this was a dumb question, I was just curious.

It all started long long ago, in a land where children dogs and vacuums lived in harmony. The vacuums silently cleaned up after the children and dogs for decades, but soon the vacuums grew tired. they never got a thankyou and were always ignored by the children playing and the dogs running around. Vaccums never got a break, they never had fun. The vacuums decided it was time for a change and attacked the children and dogs with their loud noises. They sucked up all of the toys and all of the fur and soon there was nothing left but the sounds of terror that raged from the vacuums. Things were never the same again.

Q:I have the Miele now, and see that Kenmore was top rated by Consumer Reports.

Have used Kenmore for years, also based on C/R ratings. Mine is a cannister; works well on dog fur. As I recall, Miele's biggest problem was initial cost, so if it's working ok, stick with it, but if you NEED to replace it, go with Kenmore. (My sister-in-law, whose kids have asthma, also swears by Kenmore.)

Q:Why did God make men with British and Australian accents so good at selling vacuum cleaners on American TV?

They excel at selling blenders and car wax as well

Q:I read somewhere that the company that once manufactured the popular Model XXX canister Electrolux vacuum cleaners (1930s-1950s) is now called Aerus--which makes 'Aerus' or 'Lux' machines. However, I still see Electrolux vacuum cleaners sold in big box stores that look a lot different from the old Electrolux canisters that my Grandmas and aunts used years ago; though the vacuum cleaners on the Aerus website look similar to the old Electrolux ones.

Q:Usually I just have to sweep kitty litter off the bathroom floor, but now I have some on my carpet. Is it ok to use a vacuum?

it will eventually break your vacuum. i've had to replace my vacuum every 1 -1/2 to 2 years since i've had cats. 16 years now.

Q:Just in case the power goes out, I would like to still be able to see where I am vacuuming.Anyone know a vacuum that has an inbuilt light that you would recommend? I know KIRBY make one, but they are very expensive.I am hoping for one at say less than $150 if possible.

most oreck ones have built in lights but price wise run slightly high maybe look for used ones

Q:Boss want housekeepers to pay for vacuum cleaners, says they abuse them. Vacume Cleaners are are for residential cleaning and at the hotel we need commercial. Meaning the store bought ones are made for 5 maybe 10 times a month but are being used 400 times a month. I find this an unreasonable situation

im a front desk worker and I have done this work for 11 years and in all that time I have NEVER heard of a manager and/or owner asking or telling their housekeepers they had to buy their own vacuums. I do not think it is illegal but not ethical. the last hotel I worked for our housekeepers used orbit vacuum cleaners and those are household vacuum cleaners. our maintenance man cleaned them once a month. they lasted forever.. maybe that hotel needs to do that also.

Q:That's a pretty open question for venting isn't it?

Immigration and Nationalization.

Q:Where is the cheapest place to find a Dyson vacuum cleaner? I missed out on a sale at HomeDepot and am kicking myself for it! Anyone know someplace good?? They usually retail for $399. Thanks!

The Dyson DC04 is one of the lower priced vacuums from this manufacturer at around $250. This was also the first upright vacuum that had a clutch system on the carpet cleaning brush. This mechanism allows for the brush to stop automatically if an object becomes obstructed in the roller. No more melting the power band. This unit has a 1200 watt motor that is never clogged. The tank capacity is 1.06 gallons and the cord is 27 ? feet long. Best of all, it is equipped with a HEPA filter for cleaner breathing by the user.
