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.

“There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love—every man works his oar voluntarily!”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
“... if we look around us in social life and note down who are the faithful wives, the most patient and careful mothers, the most exemplary housekeepers, the model sisters, the wisest philanthropists, and the women of the most social influence, we will have to admit that most frequently they are women of cultivated minds, without which even warm hearts and good intentions are but partial influences.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
