Brought our Kirby vacuum in for a few adjustments, they had it for weeks. Finally said it was done. I couldn't switch anything if it meant taking the belt of because I couldn't get the belt back on It looked like they had put something together backwards. Very expensive for for a vacuum I've had 20+ years and know couldn't use. Very disappointing.
