The first thing you are going to think when you see the price tag for the Kirby Ultimate G Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner is that the person who buys this vacuum has totally lost it. Who would pay more than $1000 for a vacuum cleaner?
Well, you get what you pay for. The first thing that you are going to like about the machine is that it is built like a tank (well, you are going to like this feature until you have to carry it up and down stairs). Unlike a lot of cleaners out there, the Ultimate G is made out of metal, so you aren’t going to have pieces snapping off if you bump it on a piece of furniture.
When you turn on the machine, you are going to notice how easy it is to maneuver. Why? Because this vacuum is self-propelled, it is going to help you push it. This takes a lot of the weight out of the machine,making vacuuming a quick job.
Then you are going to notice how fast your bags fill up. At first you might think that these are smaller bags, but when you pull out a huge bag filled with dirt, dust and hair you are going to be amazed at what was in your carpet.
If you need to use attachments, you are going to have a ton of choices. You might need to build an extra closet to put the vacuum and the attachments in, but it will be worth it. Plus, if you want to shampoo your rugs, you can do it with the Ultimate G, which will save you money and save room in your closet from having an entirely separate machine to do the job.
The only thing that you aren’t going to like about this vacuum is the price tag. Here’s what one reviewer said about rationalizing the price.
“If you have children this pays for itself in terms of how well it cleans and will help maintain the carpets.”
Is The Ultimate G The Ultimate Vacuum?
Kirby vacuums are the way to go if you have the money. If you don’t have the money, save up for a Kirby Ultimate G Bagged Upright Vacuum and stop the vicious cycle of buying a cheap vacuum every year.
If you have carpet in your house, having a vacuum cleaner is not optional. Getting a good vacuum cleaner is going to keep your carpet looking fresh and clean a lot longer.
The Kirby Generation 6 vacuum is a machine that is going to last for a lifetime. The initial investment is going to be steep (a new one retails at over $1000), but you are never going to have to worry about going vacuum shopping for a long time.
The G6 is a upright vacuum, shampooer and can work as a canister vacuum by adding the attachments.
Kirby G6 Specifications:
Cord Length: 32 foot
Included Attachments: Upholstery cleaner, drapery cleaner, spray gun, wall and ceiling brush,extension wands, floor broom, crack and crevice tool, duster brush, plumber’s helper, inflater/deflater tool, elbow and hose
Transmission: Tech-drive uses one pound of pressure to activate and push the machine
The biggest plus of the Kirby G6 is that it is going to clean your air. You may not think that the air coming out of the vacuum could possibly be cleaner than the air in the room, but with the G6, it is possible. This is because of the bags that the machine uses is made from seven different layers. These bags can catch 99.97% of all the dust, allergens and mold from going back in the air.
Another great thing about this machine is that it nearly pushes itself. Sure, a lot of people think that the machine is very heavy, but you don’t need to be strong to get your floors clean thanks to the tech-drive that is going to only take one pound of pressure to get the vacuum cleaner moving.
“The new G6 model of Kirby is an excellent vacuum. It has it’s own transmission so it isn’t hard to push anymore. Although the body of the vacuum is still heavy (it is made of steel which won’t break or bend), the overall ease of use is outstanding”
The major selling point for this vacuum cleaner is that it has a ton of attachments that can shampoo your carpets, help you to clean your upholstery, drains and hardwood floors. Not only is this vacuum going to be an upright, but it can change into a canister vacuum, making it as easy to clean your car as it is your house.
“You get gadgets galore.”
Some people don’t like the Kirby machine despite being able to clean the air and being able to practically push itself. One of the problems is the weight of the machine.
Another problem is the price of the machine. Sure, the vacuum will last a lifetime, but do you need a machine that is going to last this long?
“It’s quite a bulky machine, and when the bag is full it’s also very heavy. Try carrying it upstairs when you’re 8 months pregnant like I was and you could do yourself an injustice”
