You can buy a refurbished one for less than $400 on eBay and as long as you don't vacuum up water or something terrible like that, it'll be the last vacuum you ever buy.... And it comes with the hose deal and attachments as well as a light carpet shampooer...
If you want new, you've gotta go through one of those door to door folk... They'll want $2k but their cost is about $900 so you can usually get it for that...
Back in the late '70's (right out of HS), I actually tried my hand at selling Kirby's door to door. IIRC those things sold for like $900 in the 70s. $2k today, eh? I will admit that they where one heck of a vaccum cleaner, though my current Sharks would give them a run for their money.
