Other Ways to Buy a Kirby

Not everyone's budget has room for the premium cost of a brand-new Kirby, but you can still own a Kirby that has retained its exceptional quality by going the used or refurbished route. Used Kirby vacuums can be found in the realm of $150 to $300 on resale sites, like eBay. Big-box retailers sell refurbished or reconditioned Kirby vacuums for around $400 to $600.

Kirby Rebuild Program

Kirby vacuums are engineered to operate at their highest level for 30 years, and the decades of deep cleaning don't stop there. Once your Kirby is showing signs of wear and less than optimal performance, you don't need to start looking for a replacement. Kirby will completely rebuild the vacuum for you.

As part of the Kirby Lifetime Factory Rebuild Program, registered owners can send their vacuums back to the factory. Once there, the Kirby team completely disassembles the vacuum and thoroughly cleans the inside via buffing and sandblasting. Each part is then tested for functionality and either repaired or replaced before reassembly.

The rebuilt Kirby undergoes the same testing standards it went through when it was first shipped to the seller brand new before it returns home to you.

To contact the Kirby Company regarding parts replacement or the factory rebuild, U.S.-based and Canada-based customers can call 1-800-437-7170. The customer support line is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST.
