$2000 for a vacuum?

So yesterday this guy from Kirby knocked on my door offering to clean the carpet in one room in my house for free. I'm not stupid, I knew he was going to try and sell me a vacuum. But I thought, hey, let's go for it (my carpets all need a cleaning, why not get one for free). Of course, he said it would only take an hour, and two hours later I'm feeding the baby and he's still here, finally cleaning the carpet, and I'm really wanting this vacuum after seeing all the dirt that he found in my house. The thing is, the Kirby cost $2000, and there is no way in heck that I'm going to pay that for a vacuum, no matter how many amazing things it can do. It's funny to me though because a few months ago a few friends had nearly fallen for the Rainbow vacuum guy's pitch (well, one did and then returned it). This, too, is a super $2000 vacuum, and when they told me I couldn't believe that they'd even considered it and was kind of making fun of them. But now that I've seen the magic of the super vacuum I understand! Maybe one day I'll be rich and can afford something like that, but alas, I now have many other things I need to pay for first. I felt bad because the salesguy was new, and very nice, and didn't even pressure me that much so I think I had it easy. I just wish I could have helped him earn a little money for his time (sorry, Kirby guy--maybe you should try a new job!) And I wish I didn't know how much dirt my cruddy Hoover is NOT picking up every time I try to clean. I hear the Dyson is pretty good (and only $300) so maybe I'll put that on my Christmas wish list. Does this mean that I'm entering middle-age, when I'm asking for cleaning appliances for Christmas? My mother will be so proud.
