anyone got one of thoes? seh says we can have it for the payments, 50 a month. shes paid on it one year...how much more can it cost?? looking for your all input..i know you all can help me make a good decisoin here.
I've personally owned 2 Kirby's and----HATED them both!!! They are expensive to buy and break too easily. Everything goes through the fan blade so it can and does break, though not easil;y. I once sucked a screw up and it broke one of the blades off. Why 2 then? Because I came home from work one day to a sweaty salesman vacuuming my living room for dh. I tried to take him aside and tell him I didn't want one but he made it look soooo good. Paid $900 for it back in 1988. I had it for about 4 years when we bought a Tri-Star--paid $1200 for that baby! No I wasn't very frugal in those days. :p I loved that one at first but eventually hated it too. I now use an inexpensive Dirt Devil--at $56 we figure we can afford to buy a new one yearly if necessary.

So my opinion is DON'T DO IT! (Then again I detest vacuuming and want the little robotic kind that sells for $200 )
