Listen to a presentation, get a carpeted room cleaned free  

We got one of those vacuums. My wife has a hard time getting by a salesman. Now she can say she has their vacuum already even though her electrolux is 31 years old. She won't turn it in because she likes it. IT has a roll up electric cord winder plus easy to clean along edges. The Kirby does clean the floor better and the shampoo attachments doesn't soak our rug like the electrolux shampooer did. She traded every thing she could trade in for it and got rid of a lot of stuff that wouldn't have brought that much money in a yard sale. She even turned in 20 cans of food at 5.00 dollars a piece. Then she paid cash and got another 3% off the price.

Golly, I bought a kerby way back in the late 70's and that thing was great, but I hated it after a time just because was so bulky and heavy. It cleaned though.

My dad used to do that stuff all the time. He'd get that coupon in the mail for a fee day at some resort and he'd drag us out there. It'd take half the day to get there, we'd have lunch, play some games, he'd get the sphele and a watch or something like that, then we'd go home. It was usually a fun day out and we'd see places we didn't normally see. But I try not to do that because I just tell the people - Hey, leave me alone I'm not interested.

BTW - I think Rainbow (if they're still around) does the same kinda deal...

How cool! We used to have a really old Kirby vacuum, and we always ended up driving the sales people away, because the old vacuum worked so much better than the brand new ones. It was hilarious. They haven't hit my door step yet, but if they do, I just might take advantage of them....er...I mean...of the situation. LOL I've never had the luck of getting a free something for watching a demo. Maybe it will happen one of these days.

hello mooch

lol...that is too awesome that you got a room cleaned in your house by the Kirby Vacuum people. i wish they would come by my house sometime and show up at my door with a vacuum in hand and ready to clean.

and once i was in Wal-Mart doing some shopping and this man was in the store demonstrating his knives and how sharp and how good that they could cut through things had a booth set up and if you watched his demonstration about his product, then everybody that watched the entire demonstration got one of his paring knives for free. whoo hoo!!! this was my lucky day. lol..the demonstration was about five minutes long and i got a free knife out of the deal.

have a beautiful day!

LOL, it's not likely I'd get a demo for anything out here. I don't think Aussies are into the direct selling thing.

So saying, if someone showed me a vacuum cleaner thatt cleaned up the pet hair off the carpet I'd buy one like a shot.

I have also taken a room cleaning for watching a Kirby demonstration.
I don't want one, even though they are a good product.
I just don't want to store it.
I will go over to the local grocery store and rent on that does the job just as well.
In the long run costs less, doesn't have to be replaced or repaired and I don't have to store it.
I don't feel bad at all for taking the room cleaning because when they call I tell them up front that I will not buy and those are the reasons.
So far no sells person has been able to convince me different. lol Susan

Yes, they are good vacuum cleaners. I had a presentation done for me about five years ago and ended up buying one, now I don't even have carpet in my home. I had put it on a credit card, so who knows, somehow I am probably still paying for it.

My dad buy that Kirby 10 years ago and it is still working good.But it was very pricey too.I don't know if I get something free, just listening to presentation or so, probably not, I can't think of anything.

Oh, they don't mind. Everybody does that lol. Actually come to think of it, we could use that here. I'm going to mention it to my mom (it's my mom and dad's house) -- the place always smells great with the carpets cleaned!

It always amazes me how much lighter the carpet REALLY is lol.
