Welcome to part 1 of my Dyson Vs. series. I have done a lot of Dyson Vs. Dyson comparisons, but I have left the rest of the market pretty much alone. Mainly because I wanted to keep the site focused on it’s primary subject. But after further consideration a Dyson site without a decent Dyson vs. Kirby, Dyson vs. Miele, or Dyson vs. Other article would just be lacking to say the least. So I decided to put procrastination aside and begin a series comparing Dysons to the rest of the vacuuming universe.
Dyson Vs. Kirby
If you own a home or rent a place you have probably run into the Kirby guys before. Yeah, at home door to door sales are generally annoying so i give Dyson the 1 up already because well their product sells itself without having to corner people in their living rooms with uncomfortable sales pitches and cheesy smiles.
The vacuums on the other hand compare a lot more evenly than either company would like to admit.
Both Dyson and Kirby vacuums are top of the line, they allow for great flexibility by having lots of attachments, easy cleanup and maintenance, offer allergy and asthma friendly solutions, have a great warranty and just work well. Kirby may have the upper hand for a second with their attachable floor buffer that Dyson can’t offer, but they soon lose it with the added costs of buying extra filters that are required to use in vacuum.
I have found Dyson’s more aesthetically pleasing than Kirbys, they are light and stowable, have the ball technology to offer better maneuverability, look much nicer that the aluminum can design Kirby has, and even at 500.00 are up to 700.00 cheaper than the Kirby model with all the accessories.
You may find this shocking coming from a site called Dyson info, but when it comes to Dyson vs. Kirby I do prefer the Dyson vacuum. I have however not actually owned a Kirby model, just sat through a demonstration or two so if you want a real comparison invite the Kirby people over and take a look at the results for yourself, but be warned they are good salesmen.
