OT: Stay away from Kirby!!!!

This is a little off topic, but I felt that people should know..

I had a HORRIBLE experience with Kirby yesterday. I am still fuming. A nice young lady came over and gave us this flyer "Daily Promotional Specia"...."We will Deep Clean and Shampoo one room NO Charge!"

She said that they would clean our carpets, and give us a demonstration. We could buy today or maybe down the line. Sure, why not!

So, this guy comes in, and asks me some questions, like how often I vaccuum, etc etc. He vaccuums with my beloved Dyson. Then, he vaccuums with the Kirby with these circular filters. We were surprised with the amount of dirt that was lifted. While he was vaccuuming, he kept saying "Wow. Huh. Hmm..You vaccuum every day?" Yes, go ahead and insuinate that I'm a horrible house keeper.

So, he says his spiel and Bill says "Well, we really can't afford it right now". He keeps trying and trying. Then he says "Well, if you can't afford $2 a day, then it's time to find a new job or a second job". HUH??? Yeah, dude, that's a GREAT way to get someone to buy. Then we said we have a child with special needs and her health comes before any vaccuum.

After tell him NO several times, he vaccuums about a quarter of the carpet, and starts packing up his stuff. He didn't even clean our carpes. He left shortly thereafter.

After this experience, I will NEVER buy a Kirby. EVER.

And the funny thing is that he mentioned "word of mouth". Yeah, I'll show you "word of mouth" you jerk.
