Sales Model
New Kirby home care systems are only sold through independent, authorized Kirby distributors through in-home (door-to-door) demonstrations.
From time to time, Kirby Sentria 2 systems are inaccurately advertised for sale as NEW on the internet and in authorized retail stores. Systems sold through other sources are not covered by The Kirby Company's warranty and rebuild plans.
The Kirby Company manufacturers the unit and sells it to a group of authorized distributors. Each distributor is an independent business, and as such sets their own price for the unit and conducts their own business operations.
Independent distributors recruit dealers who are also independent contractors. The dealers sell the unit door-to-door. Dealers are typically compensated through commission only.

“It has to be acknowledged that in capitalist society, with its herds of hippies, originality has become a sort of fringe benefit, a mere convention, accepted obsolescence, the Beatnik model being turned in for the Hippie model, as though strangely obedient to capitalist laws of marketing.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
