Dirt from our shag carpet.
If you say yes to a door-to-door sales woman who says she'll shampoo the carpet in one room for free, you'll end up listening to a Kirby vacuum sales pitch for over 2.5 hours and get the shampoo at the very end (read 8:30pm), after you've eaten your dinner in 5 minute spurts and put your crying baby to bed. Although the vacuum was awesome, Kirby does not get my vote for consideration of future customers.
(The price, over 2K, had nothing to do with our firm "No thank you!")

Ah the old Kirby Vacuum pitch. I had my opportunity in Kent, Washington when Paul arranged an appointment for me with the Kirby lady. (wasn't that nice of him???) She tried to show me how dirty my carpet was and how ineffective my old vacuum was, but it was a new apartment with new carpet. HA! Foiled the Kirby Lady and at $850 for a vacuum we said NO THANKYOU too.

Hey, that was before we had a TV. I thought I was providing a whole day's worth of entertainment for you.
