We were visited by a vacuum cleaner salesman this past weekend. He was trying to sell Kirby vacuums, stating that this would be "the only vacuum we'd ever need" and that it would "last a lifetime". He went from room to room demo-ing the unit, showing off its cleaning and suction powers. We were suitably impressed by its suction, picking up dirt where the dying Hoover didn't.
Of course, he pulled the classic sales tricks: "How much are you willing to pay for this type of vacuum" and "Those dust mites poop 10 times their own weight!" and "Don't think of how much this costs, since there's no price tag on your health!" Once he was done cleaning, he mentioned the cost...$1,999. Ouch. No thanks.
It took forever to kick him out, as he tried lowering his price until he reached $900 (for the demo unit, which was virtually brand new). So sorry, but we're not willing to shell out that much for a vacuum.
This whole experience reminded me of that Electrolux/Euroclean guy:
I'm gonna knock on your door
Ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
Come on and open the door
So I can show you more
I'm your friendly Euroclean (Electrolux) man!!!!
Creepy.

Hi, my husband and I were debating whether or not the commercial jingle said "Euroclean man" or "Electrolux man." He said that the jingle is for Electrolux so the jingle should say "Electrolux," but I remember that it said "Euroclean man." Is "Euroclean" the name of the model perhaps and the brand is Electrolux? Maybe you can shed some light on this, thanks.
