Good Morning,
I have a Kirby vacuum system. It is the best vacuum system out there. It seldom gets put head to head with upright vacuums as it is not only an upright, but is one of the best. It seldom gets put up against canister vacuums, but again, it is up there. And it does not get put against shampooers but it does that too. I used to sell them and I have a hard time buying any other vacuum knowing how good the Kirby system is.
When we moved into our new house, we bought an older Kirby on eBay and used that until we upgraded to the latest model. Now, five years later and 3 dogs and multiple cats, there are some carpet stains that just don’t come out with the Kirby shampooer. Even with the fancy pet stain shampoo. I would go over the stains many times and have just gave up.
Then I had a chance to get a carpet and upholstery steamer, a Bissel. I set it up today and have made headway on the stains that I could not get with the Kirby.
The Kirby is like the all in one tool that does it all. Some of the all, though, is not that great, and there are better tools, specific to the tasks. Like the steamer versus the shampooer.
In life we may go about living the same way. We use the same tool, no matter how good it is, to address all of our problems. Sometimes it works wonderfully and we cling to those successes rather than look at our failures no matter how large the explosion was.
Sometimes we need to get a new tool to better equip ourselves for the challenges we face.
And at the same time, we should not have so many different tools that we make it difficult for ourselves. Our Kirby really doesn’t have a home in our house, so now I have to find room for the bigger Bissel Steamer. What would I do if I had an upright, a canister, etc. etc.
We are better off with a few good tools which serve us well, and upgrade from time to time as the need arises.
And just if you are thinking, no I am not getting rid of the Kirby, its still the best vacuum out there.
Enjoy!
