I sold Kirby vacuums for a few weeks when home from college one year. They are good machines but I would not buy one. Too much money and you really only use it as a vacuum.
As it turned out my wife had bought one before we were married, and we used it until this past winter. The thing died and I never got around to troubleshoot it. We bought a new Hoover (with a small canister for small jobs) for about $275. The Hoover does a great job and the little canister companion is perfect for the kitchen and dinning room floor.
Anyhow, today's electric motors are damn good and there are lots and lots of choices for vacuums....I just can't see spending $1900 for a Kirby.
I remember every day the guy who owned the Kirby dealership would get us in a room and give us a pep talk ending with a group sing along. Old school salesmanship selling an old school product.
