I loved the Kirbys! But heavy. Last forever. If I have to pick one, the Shark. Nothing beats the suction and easy to unclear. The company backs their warranty. But longevity is short.
Many moons ago when I was laid off one summer a friend talked me into going with him selling Kirby's door to door, this guy could sell matches in [censored] and I have to say of all the vacuums we've had over the years they had the best suction. We never did own one but I brought a demo home to use but back then one was $1200 for the base unit, no thanks. The Kirby he had at the time was self propelled so it was easy to use, the old one my mom had not so much.
Fast forward and a couple Hoover's and Eureka''s later we bought a Shark and it rivals the Kirby in suction, they just had to make the head smaller to do it so ya as one mentioned more passes.
