    Dyson is the most convenient yet most expensive products on the market. They are also the only vacuums that have purposely built in failure mechanisms. Usually under the form of "permanent filters" that clog up and overheat your motor until it burns. As a former vacuum repair guy, id say to stay away from dyson unless you have money to throw out the windows. If you want actual lasting quality, look at german brands.

    My ex-husband's grandmother had this REALLY dope setup: a central vacuum. There were these hose size plugs all over the house next to power outlets. She would carry around a vacuum attachment and hose and plug it in to each one as she went along the house. It would suck up the dirt and dust and take it through to a central unit in the basement. She would call a service and they'd send a truck out every now and again to empty the unit like some gargantuan vacuum bag. It was so cool. I've never seen one before or since. It was so much lighter for her to carry around rather than a huge vacuum, she never had to replace bags. It was just so cool. She designed the house herself and it had tons of little quirks like that that actually were ingenious but not standard. I loved it. But she only spoke Italian so I could only understand so much. I found a lot of it out just through watching. I'm not sure if they're still a thing today, I would assume not, mostly due to the massive fire hazard I assume they were. But if they are id love one. Just for the novelty.

      They absolutely still exist. Nowadays however; I believe that they are really only found in recently built high-end houses, as well as many houses that were built in the late 1970's and early 1980's, when Central Vacuum Systems were a new & exciting fad that homebuilders liked to include in their building plans.
      My first 2 houses (as well as the house I currently live in) were all built in the late 1970's, and all 3 of them included a still fully-functional Central Vacuum System.
      I live in Alaska, and it is not uncommon to see many houses up here that were originally built with this type of vacuum system, even if they seem to have since fallen out of favor among most homeowners. I, however, still have all the proper vacuuming attachments for my system & enjoy using it since it still functions great after all these years!

      Its extremely common in north america. Im very unsure why it hasnt caught on elsewhere. Its more durable as the unit doesnt get moved around and banged against walls. You can put a more powerful motor as weight isnt an issue anymore. The advantages go on and on.

    I know this video is a year old, but I want to say that I worker for a week as a Kirby salesman, and quit when I had realized the full extent of their sleaze. To start with, the ad for the job was very misleading about it being a sales job and was listed under a different company name.
    Second, the guy running the place was obviously giving fake hope of a higher position by pretending a new store needed management and "would you like to possibly take that position?" Despite there being someone underneath him already who could take it if there was one.
    They claimed to have a certain weekly wage, but you could only make it if you did a stupidly high number of showings in a week, so you relied almost completely on commissions.
    Commissions were stupid because you COULD sell for factory price if you wanted, but they suggested as much as tripling the price, and the sales tactic was to try to get the person to pay as much as possible, then you made half the difference.
    They didn't necessarily prey upon the elderly and feebleminded, but those are the vast majority of people they could trick into letting them into their homes. Which they would do under the pretense of giving away free house cleanings or showcasing an entirely unrelated product.
    Their credit system also didn't have any interest, but they would regularly lie and tell people it did to convince them to pay more or think they were getting a better deal.

      I had a job interview at a Kirby store/office/whatever years ago. The ad said management opportunities, no experience required, etc. Was super vague but screw it I decided to check it out. I didn't know until the interview that it would be selling vacuum cleaners. The interviewer also wanted me to cut off my long hair, with the reasoning of, "Nobody is going to let you into their home to make a sale if you look like you're going to murder them.". I honestly didn't think I looked _that_ cool but hey I guess the guy saw potential in me.
      Anyway, jokes on him since I made a killing during my short time as a murder contractor. I learned a lot in that interview, specifically that people still let vacuum cleaner salespeople into their homes. I could have double-dipped and sold them a vacuum first, but I figured that was greedy and would all but ensure I got caught.

      I will say this though, the sales technique may be harsh, but the vacuum itself is awesome! I have never purchased my own because of price, but I have on more than one occasion let the sales guy in just to get my living room vacuumed! I had a second hand Kirby at one point and it worked great for about 5 years after getting it! I still dream of buying one brand new one day!

    idk how i found this channel but youtubes been auto playing videos from this channel since I clicked one and I think its gone though the whole channel while I've read books and played games. Aside from paying less attention its still good content, I payed more attention to the video at times than my game. Its some entertaining info, well done.

    Kirby vacuums are pretty legit. They always called my father to repair their vans so they gave him a pretty good discount. The SUCC on those things are so good, they don’t even need bristles or any other gimmicky shit like the creaky plastic on a Dyson. They also double as a full workout session while negotiating it around the house, and they last forever.

    When I was a kiddo id beg my parents to take me along if they were going to the hardware store. I'd go and many times I blew people away with my dirt devil, Eureka, bissel and Hoover knowledge. I always told my mom “im gonna be a vacuum salesman when I get older” lol A child with ADHD will notice every detail if it's something that interests us. Dirt Devils were bottom of the list in the 90s they sucked but didn't suck like it was supposed to. Eureka was the middle product and Hoover was Top Shelf.bissels we're uncommon but id rate them better than Eureka and close to hoover.

    You left out Rainbow, the water trap vacuum. I sold them in the early 1990s and for awhile was "Marketing Director" doing the phone work back before cellphones and automatic dialers. Changing the water in the basin did away with the need for bags.
