Kenmore Progressive Upright Vacuum - 31069 - Red Pepper



Best Vacuum Ever!!
When it came time to replace my vacuum I went to "Consumer Reports" and chose their "best buy", which was the Kenmore Progressive vacuum. As usual, I was not disappointed with their choice. The vacuum is lightweight, has excellent suction and very easy to switch between carpet and bare floors. It is also great on bare floors. The only thing I wish was different is the length of the hose. It takes too much time to unwrap the hose to make it longer for use with the attachments. I would still purchase the vacuum because it is that good. I don't like to vacuum but I can truly say I don't mind vacuuming since purchasing the Kenmore.

Doesn't Disappoint!!
The Consumer Reports' recommendation was why we bought it, and it has not disappointed! This vacuum is considerably lighter than my previous BIssell. It picks up well and transitions from carpet to floor pretty easily. I have only one very small critique, and that is the clip at the bottom of the back of the vac that secures the hose in place. The Bissell that preceded this one had a nice design that didn't need a clip. The clip on this one has to be slid away to remove the hose....a tad bothersome to do in the first place, and further complicated by the fact that it doesn't always cooperate. But it's a minor detail....the vac so far has been wonderful...and best of all, it's a proper anti-allergy vac. Sealed HEPA filters are great and all (and this vac has all that), but it means nothing if you then have to go dump a bagless canister that kicks up the very dust it just picked up! This, quite fortunately, is a wonderful bagged unit! Recommended!!!

Great Vacuum
Brought the Kenmore Progressive Upright Vacuum to replace a Hover Tempo upright. The Hover Tempo would loss suction very fast and has a hard time picking up dog hair. We have a short hair dog Beagle/Whippet [Mix] and it had a hard time picking it up. The Kenmore Progressive Upright Vacuum had no problem with the dog hair and anything else. The Kenmore Progressive Upright Vacuum had no loss of suction even when the bag was almost full. The only downside of the Kenmore Progressive Upright Vacuum is the small rotating brush does not work very well on carpeted stairs. It pretty much stops when you put any press on it. It's only runs with the suction of the Kenmore Progressive Upright Vacuum. This would happen with any brush like this. My brother has a Dyson with the same problem and he paid a lot more then I did. The brush works fine on bare floors. Overall Kenmore Progressive Upright Vacuum is a very good vacuum and very happy with the buy.
