Have done which is why I went on the record mate. Get Kilos not grams of dirt with the Kirby. I actually weigh the recovered soil with kitchen scales.
No contest. Only a pile lifter would do better.
I buy my Kirbys second hand. They are hard as nails anyway and parts are cheap and plentiful.
Here ate some videos of my experiences. To each their own.
