Description
Kirby C550 Signature Series Bagged Canister Vacuum with Powerhead, Pure Platinum
The Kirby C550 in Pure Platinum is designed for homes where one cleaning session includes carpet, hard flooring, and upholstered furniture. Its canister layout lets you guide the hose and adjustable wand while the main unit follows behind, with specialized tools available for each part of the room.
Electric Carpet Cleaning with Adjustable Height
A motor-driven brushroll gives the 13.5-inch Multi-Surface Power Nozzle active carpet agitation. Six manual height settings help you position the nozzle for the carpet, while the handle-mounted brushroll switch provides a convenient transition to suction-only cleaning.
LumiGuide LEDs light the area ahead of the nozzle. On suitable hard floors, turn off the brushroll or fit the included Hard Floor Nozzle. Follow the care instructions for your specific flooring and rugs.
Four Airflow Settings for More Control
The airflow dial offers four levels, allowing you to reduce suction for appropriate upholstery or select more power for floor cleaning. The adjustable stainless steel wand extends your reach without requiring you to move the canister directly beside every surface.
Tools for Floors, Furniture, and Narrow Spaces
- Multi-Surface Power Nozzle: Electrically driven brushing for carpet care.
- Hard Floor Nozzle: A separate tool for smooth flooring.
- Turbo Air Brush: Air-driven brushing for suitable upholstery and carpeted stairs.
- Detail-cleaning accessories: Upholstery tool, dusting brush, and crevice tool with holster.
The dusting brush and upholstery tool store onboard. An accessory bag holds additional equipment, and three spare PureAir HEPA filter bags are supplied.
Bagged Filtration and Convenient Storage
PureAir Dual-HEPA filtration uses a HEPA bag and a second HEPA filtration stage to capture fine particles. The 4.1-liter bag provides room for collected debris without a reusable dust container to empty. A performance display provides maintenance alerts, and automatic cord rewind stores the 24-foot cord after cleaning.
