    Oh its BRILLIANT Lime! LOL, its so good, that I frequently loan it out to friends who couldn't afford it, so every few months they'll do a really good vacuum of the house Actually, maybe they've been changing the bag, which would explain why I never have to...never thought of that!!

    Yeah, just bought a pack of 15 paper bags for $20 off ebay, they work just fine

    With my old vac I had to empty it every 2-4 vacs, the new one we will have to wait & see

    Lime & Berenice - We got a Kirby 2 weeks ago. It's sooo good. We told the sales guy he'd have to throw in some extra bags & the heavy traffic spray. So I think we have 3 or 4 spare bags, but the bags arent that expensive from them anyway seeing how long they last before needing to be changed

    Sal - yeah, we thought the same, I think they said it would be 3 months before they needed to be changed...uh not quite! lol I found the suction does get affected by the bag being half full lol

    But having said that, I LOVE it, DH - not so sure - he hates having to change it to a barrel vac to do the hard floors, I don't nind, find it easier in fact. But it has paid for itself twice over already (we have had it nearly 5 years) just in cleaning the carpets - our RE agent couldn't tell the difference between Kirby clean and Steam Clean rofl.
