Kirby vacuum airflow technology full#
if you get a cheap vacuum, you can vacuum all day every day and never get the stuff out, which means it is not a sufficient vacuum to do the job needed full stop. (There are a few bagged ones that clean well, but mostly lose on filtration, noise and durability.) I'm not totally convinced that most of the bagless Wal-Mart specials do, though. Good mid-priced machines - Carpet Pro uprights, Riccar/Simplicity entry-level stuff, etc - do that well enough in general. So yeah, you don't necessarily need the maximum power every time, but you do need a machine that gets enough of the dirt to stay ahead of it. However, my Kirby, Royal and both Simplicity machines (a Verve canister and a Freedom upright I sold my 6970) get it without much fuss. I've also found that cat fur, unlike dog fur, weaves itself deep into the carpet if you don't get it right away, and takes some more oomph to get out: the FQ's power nozzle doesn't do a great job on it.
It wasn't until I'd vacuumed every other day for about a month, first with the FQ and then with a Kirby, that I stopped getting tons of grit. The previous tenants had something that groomed the surface pretty well, but the first time I ran a more powerful vac over it (a Filter Queen, in this case), I pulled out a ton of sand. In my case, I have cats and I also have a lot of sand that gets tracked in, so there's a lot of both fur and heavy grit - something like a Dyson would not do very well on my carpets. See some of VacLab's tests on Youtube, for example - there are some vacs that do better on one kind of dirt than on others. That's a fair point, and yeah, I think if you're assiduous about it, you can get away with a fair bit less oomph, as long as the vac you're using gets enough of the kind of dirt you actually have.
