{"product_id":"kirby-c550-signature-series-canister-vacuum","title":"Kirby C550 Signature Series Premium Canister Vacuum with Multi Surface Power Nozzle","description":"\u003csection class=\"avon-copy avon-cro-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKirby positions the C550 as the most versatile of its three Signature Series machines: a bagged canister with an electric Multi-Surface Power Nozzle for carpet, a separate hard floor nozzle, and a Turbo Air Brush for stairs and furniture. It comes in two colors, Pure Platinum and Kirby Blue, and both have the same specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKirby's comparison chart places the C550 with homes that mix carpet and hard floors, and calls it the pick for large homes with multiple levels. It rates the C550 Excellent for deep carpet cleaning, hard floors, pet hair and stairs, and Good for storage convenience. The body of a canister stays on the floor while you carry the hose and wand, and this one weighs 14.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo ways to clean a bare floor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMove the brush roll switch on the control handle to off, drop the power nozzle to height 1, and you can run the electric nozzle over hard floors. Or swap in the hard floor nozzle: press the nozzle release while lifting the wand, then slide the wand into the new head. The fit is a friction fit, so you will not hear a click. Either way, the 4-speed AirFlow Control dial lets you pull suction down for rugs and delicate surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTools that stay with the machine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe duster brush and upholstery tool live in an onboard compartment on the canister. The Turbo Air Brush and crevice tool go in the attachment bag, and the crevice tool also clips to a holster on the wand. Kirby's manual singles out the Turbo Air Brush for embedded pet hair on furniture and for carpeted stairs. A stainless steel adjustable wand, automatic cord rewind, onboard accessory storage and Glide Control steering round out the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eColors and model numbers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePure Platinum: C550PP, SKU 2C550PP000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKirby Blue: C550KB, SKU 2C550KB000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-Surface Power Nozzle and hard floor nozzle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurbo Air Brush, crevice tool with holster, duster brush and upholstery tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessory bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra 3-pack of PureAir HEPA filter bags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"avon-copy__specifications\"\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel \/ colors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eC550PP Pure Platinum, C550KB Kirby Blue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMain unit weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.5 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFilter bag capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.1 L (1.1 gal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePrimary nozzle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-Surface Power Nozzle, 13.5 in wide, 6 height settings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSuction motor \/ brush motor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1200 W \/ 250 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAirflow (motor rating)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e131 CFM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrush speed (free spin)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8,900 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCord \/ hose\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 ft \/ 7 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTotal cleaning radius\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37 ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSound level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 dBA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFiltration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePureAir Dual HEPA; full-system HEPA, independently certified to ASTM F3150 (per Kirby's owner's manual)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8-year limited warranty (motor and labor); 5 years on other parts and labor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvon Vacuums is an authorized Kirby dealer for the Signature Series, so this machine is sold new with Kirby's warranty, and warranty service is handled at our own repair bench in Avon, Connecticut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoutine care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo change the bag on the C550, unplug it, take the hose off the secure hose connect, pull the seal cap from the onboard compartment and raise the bag door.
