Suckception.
I remember being at my grandma's house as a kid and one of them Kirby salesmen came over to try and sell her one. She had him clean the front room and then said sorry I can't afford it. Lol. I was impressed by how effective it was though.
Fast forward 20 years and I move into a new place and I'm somewhat loathing the idea of spending a decent amount of money on a vacuum cleaner. I go through 3 I think from the goodwill and they are all terrible heaps of shot that don't really work.
So I step it up a hear gear and got the Craigslist ads. I see one of them Kirby ones for sale and give them a call and head over.
It's a 70 year old woman that answers the door, it belonged to her dead mother who got it new some years back and it had been chillen in a closet since. Still had some of the original carpet shampoo and all the accessories!
Here's a pic of one

Fucker weighs 3 tons and you have to put it in drive to move it. It's badass tho
