I was living in Dallas, TX and working as a bartender, making roughly 300 bucks a week. I decided to move to East Texas to go to school in Tyler. I was in desperate need of a job and was browsing Craigslist one afternoon and I stumbled upon an ad saying "IMMEDIATE...

Stolen money--not returning money when merchandise is returned
I purchased a Kirby vacuum from the Johnsons and was told I had 72 hours to change my mind. I did change my mind, Mrs Johnson picked up the vacuum and told me I would receive my refund in 7-10 days. I should have known she was scamming. She said she sent the check to the Kirby Co; she wrote my check to herself and cashed it at my bank. They will not return my calls/texts. her
User's recommendation: Beware of these people, they are scammers.

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerStolen
I bought a Kirby from one of your salesman in August 2018. His number is disconnected. His name is Dwayne Lowery. Serial number 418050****. Total is $1797. I was hurt in my home and was laid up for 4 months with a broken foot and ankle. While I was gone from my residence my house was broken into and everything I owned was stolen and destroyed. My Kirby was stolen. I still have 1 payment on it. I had only used it about 6 times. I just wanted to know if the Kirby was insured for replacement.

You do not want me to write a review at this moment. I will come back and give a good or bad review when somebody from Kirby contacts me so far no return calls
Because I need to get a hold of somebody, and the phone number I have to Cameron, isn't returning my calls

Calling for balance and amount on account.
I dont want to keep my vacuum. I am having issues with it. I want you guys to take it back. I havent made my first payment yet. I do not want it anymore. The one part I constantly fight with to put on has got me to my breaking point with it. I have made several attempts to call.

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerLack of service
The Kirby agent contacted us to have our Kirby Sentra serviced . We agreed and the Kirby was collected and returned a week later. Two weeks after it arrival the drive belt broke, so another drive belt was purchased. Upon examination the broken drive belt was badly worn.Cost was $10.00 for the drive belt. And that after a service. Was the light replaced , also a NO. Another fail! It was a rip off. In fact we spent a considerable sum of money for sweet *** all.
User's recommendation: Be very careful. would not recommend Kirby.

I need help with my Kirby
I am paying triple the cost for this vacuum, and I can't use it. The Kirby company is not reliable, and they are quick to send you to the credit report bureau. I have tried to reach out to several people in the company since I bought this machine and can't get any help. The rubber came loose and it never washed my rugs the way they said it would. This is a disgrace, and I feel robbed. They are taking their payment out of my account every month.

About 2 years ago we had this guy very nice that was knocking in our door. He never said the price of what he was selling. He kept telling me and my husband about the glory of Kirby vacuum, so he said that this vacuum does everything even painting. We didn't realize...

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerInappropriate sales practice
A salesperson went to my 75 year old mother's home and offered a demonstration during COVID. My mother has struggled with dementia, loneliness and allowed the lady in. The lady convinced my mother to but a $2461 system. No sales person should solicit door to door durning COVID and prey on the elderly. I have contacted Dazia Tucker and she offered no assistance. M A and Associates did not return my call. Of course, now that it has been explained to my mother she is embarrassed and does not want to persue this. I want policies in place that salespeople can not solicit door to door during pandemics.

Pros
- Salesperson
Cons
- Door to door should not be allowed during pandemic
Preferred solution
new policy that prohibits door to door sales during a pandemic and refund for overpayment
False credit report
I was disturbed after house calls after hours on a Friday night. I returned the Kirby unused the following Wednesday. I even called and the Tucson office and reported that I was canceling and to please refund my $800.00. I was then referred to Mn to a male representative who stated that I was of the appropriate age for a return but mentioned no accommodation of return of my $800.00 Now preferred credit is saying the vacuum was reposted when I can prove otherwise. Change or delete the credit report or I will pursue legal action.
User's recommendation: Never buy one or let them in your house.

I find it very telling that on their website it does not mention Kirby, the selling of vacuums or going door to door! What company website avoids stating who they are and what they do??? VERY TELLING!
