I recently went in to purchase a vacuum cleaner from Mr. Byrd. Right away he let me know that he prides himself on service and may find that he doesn't have the lowest prices.
He asked a couple of questions regarding my nneeds and my price point and found a perfect vacuum. Sure it's not a Dyson but I paid less for a quality vacuum that wasn't made with a lot of plastic parts. Mr. Byrd showed me how to clean the vacuum and which parts were important to take care of. You can tell Mr. Byrd really cares about providing the best service possible. He was super friendly and very knowledgeable about his products.
I'm saving up to buy one of the made in USA vacuums! Don't see too many of those anymore!!
Also if you (or anyone you know) has severe allergies he had some incredible German made Miel vacuums. Those are real beauties!
