Kenmore Progressive Direct Drive Upright Vacuum
Vacuums great but the quality is not good

When we bought our home it was a mix of tile, hardwood floors and carpet. I went around checking out vacuums, read reviews and asked friends what they had. Everyone I spoke with along with every vacuum had pros and cons. I went to Sears to check out the Kenmore and ended up coming home with one but hate it now. While it works great on carpet and seems to have a lot of power the thing is so heavy I can’t get it up or down the stairs very easily and usually have to ask my husband. Although I do like the intelliclean feature on on board tools. But it’s just so BIG. It doesn’t fit under much so you’ll spend time moving furniture and it’s very wide so it doesn’t fit between kitchen chairs or even bar stools. The attachments are literally worthless. The little knobs that the wand needs to attach to in order to use the extention tools have worn off twice and it basically now duct taped together. Nice huh? The pieces are made of soft plastic and have just disappeared off the tubing so there’s no way to attach the telescoping wand any longer without shelling out over $100 to replace the pieces.
The warranty stinks!! I don’t think so. Probably because Kenmore knows the pieces don’t last!! I think it’s a poor design or rather poor quality material for the part of the vacuum that gets the most use. Would never recommend this vacuum to anyone and am now looking for another as this one’s going to the curb. I would rate this vacuum great (5) in carpet cleaning performance but a (1) in overall quality and it’s very heavy.
