I have researched and researched and bought 3 vacuum cleansers over the past 6 months. From Kenmore canister vac to Dirt Devil Cyclonic Upright. I have all hardwood floors in my home w/ one room being linoleum and only 2 large area rugs. All the vacuums I bought just threw the dirt out the back. Well, I stopped at my parents home tonight, and low and behold there was a Kirby salesman there. After a complete demonstration of what all it could do...I bought it (ouch it was $2,000!) I think I am nuts. It has the hardwood floor attachment and the shampooer attachment and has a lifetime warranty. Ok, now my question is this: Do any of you guys own a Kirby Sentria, and if so, do you like how it works and have any reviews you can give me? Thanks!!
