Kirby Vacuum cleaner, anyone own one?

NewRider · 04-12-2013, 02:45 PM

Aside from being pricey and the annoying door to door sales people.

I know they work well.

I would like to see if anyone has one I could rent.

Was gonna rent a Bissell, but that takes 2 days to dry and I don't think I have that time.

Worth a shot

Or you can rent one and do it yourself. Should work better than a vacuum.

What kind of apartment are you moving into where the carpets are nasty? Or your just fancy.......

Take pics so they don't try to keep your deposit (cash not other type) when you move out.

A company will come out and do the entire apartment for fairly cheap - I used to always have somebody clean our carpets when we were renting.

This company will do five rooms for $99

Kirby is not good for washing carpets, it is very good vacuum, I bought one back in 2001, it still works like the day i got it.

you should go and rent a doctor carpet from randalls, it only take less than a day to dry.

Turn on some fans and do a good job and a rental unit will produce dry carpet in less time than that.

Th carpet is ok, I just rather give it a good once over myself...just for peace of mind.

Kirbys are good at picking up dirt, no sense in getting the dirt wet just so it cm dry.

I want to get it out...
