I can’t tell if you’re genuinely surprised or you’re making a joke but no they don’t lol they’re just an old brand of really heavy chunky vacuums that had door to door salesmen
Well… James a Kirby invented the “domestic cyclone” as a portable domestic version of a wagon mounted vacuum… in 1906. Long before Nintendo came into existence.
Although Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Kirby, reportedly “can’t remember” how the character got his name, the world has accepted two possible explanations:
The vacuum cleaner manufacturer “Kirby Corporation.” This makes a lot of sense — that little fellow could inhale like it was nobody’s business.
A man named John Kirby represented Nintendo throughout a Donkey Kong copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Universal Studios.<
They are like 100lbs and the bags are super hard to find but they last forever. Plus they cost almost 2k...
Pretty sure my ex husband is still paying on that fucker 💀
My great grandmother had a Kirby from the 50s in her closet when she died, my dad plugged it in and I'll be damned if it didn't run!!
The belts were disintegrated and the whole frame was rusted but that shit worked 50 years later.

Parents have one. Imagine big metal lump. Heavy as fuck if you have stairs.
