Well the kirby is not the easist thing in the world to use that is for sure! I don't have trouble vacuuming but when I shampoo sometimes I have to watch the video again if its been a while.

We only paid $1,000 for it, they wanted $1,900 but my husband spent hours bargaining and refused to buy it for a penny more.

It is very old fashioned looking though, that is hard for me after spending so much money to get something that looks like it was built in 1950.
