We are open Saturday May 24. As always, closed Sunday. Closed Monday May 26 for Memorial Day. Re-open Tuesday at 9:15

We are now open our regular hours. We have cordoned off much of the store to reduce the possible spread of germs. When you enter please go to the left or right. This allows us to serve 2 groups of customers while keeping them separated.  Please practice social distancing. If you don't want to come in you can call us from the parking lot & we can come to your car if you wish. We are attempting to exercise an abundance of caution. We are wearing masks. Our pens for customer use are disinfected after each use. We have been vaccinated & had our boosters. If possible please leave children home, as they tend to want to handle everything (that's normal, but these aren't normal times).

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

We are still selling new (and a few used) vacuums, parts, bags, filters, belts, etc. We will still special order parts we don't have, if it is available (unfortunately many machines sold in the Big Box Stores are not supported with repair parts anymore. Part of the criteria for vacuums we sell is parts availability [hand vacuums and sticks are an exception, very few parts are made available by the manufacturer for machines in that price range]). Due to supply chain difficulties, we are out of stock on some popular products. To ensure we have quality machines available, we have recently added another quality German vacuum line called SEBO. In home use, the SEBO models we sell have a 10 year warranty!

WE NOW HAVE 2 NEW NECCHI SEWING MACHINES & 1 SERGER IN STOCK!! I don't know how long they will last or whether we can quickly replace them. Most suppliers are still back ordered. We are taking in repairs, but we are, as I write this in the spring of 2024, 4-6 weeks behind in repairs. As before, machines purchased from us will be done ahead of other machines and receive a discount on parts & labor.

3John verse 2 says, "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers."

So we hope you all prosper and will be in health.

Byers Vacuum is now a factory authorized Kirby vacuum service center. This means we will cover the 3 year factory warranty on new Kirbys. As always we have a large stock of genuine Kirby bags, belts, shampoo, and parts for sale. We now have access to factory service manuals and videos to make sure your Kirby is in perfect working order. We do NOT sell new Kirby vacuums, and are not connected to any Kirby door to door sales organisations. Although we do sometimes have guaranteed reconditioned Kirbys for sale at substantial savings. While we do sell several brands of new vacuums, Kirbys are sold by home demonstration, which we have never done. And we still give FREE ESTIMATES on any non-warranty repairs you may need on your Kirby vacuum (and many other brands). One thing I have come to appreciate about Kirby is that while many manufacturers are discontinuing repair parts for their vacuums after only a few years, I can still get parts for a 75 year old Kirby. Yes they do last that long with some maintenance.

     I'm glad you found my website. I have an unshakable faith in God and our Lord Jesus Christ. I know that God is with us at all times, even when it's not apparent. I know that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and yours. No sin is too terrible that the blood of Jesus doesn't wash us clean. All you have to do is repent of your sins and ask Jesus to be your Lord & Savior.

My Faith

Today my faith in God and in His Son Jesus is strong, but it hasn't always been like that. Growing up I had no idea of what God was really like, or whether He even existed. I came to a saving knowledge and faith in Jesus and Father God when I was 29 years old.  my faith
