I wish the 31200 was still being made for a bit longer if not today. Not only I thought it looked cooler but also I liked the design better. The hose was longer and I like having the wheels on the base instead of the nozzle. I actually saw one of those at the thrift store not too long ago that I...

SEBO made a couple for Kenmore called the Professional 12 & 15, courtesy to gmerkt. They're basically the X1 & X2 (predecessors to the X4 & X5). You're right they didn't make very many for Sears, yet SEBO made a mass production for not just themselves but also for Windsor and some other small...

Right, I was just saying that at the time when those Kenmores were being sold there was something else similar to it. Otherwise I can't think of anything that'd be as close to it in today's market. I agree about the brushroll. I love Panasonic and Kenmore so much but the direct drive brushroll...

Chet already bought a new machine. https://automaticwasher.org/threads/new-kenmore-vacuum.99831/

Not really, this Panasonic Optiflow MC-UG787 was more similar to that red Kenmore but even better. https://vacuumland.org/threads/the-top-panansonic-mc-ug787.21678/

Quality wise, I honestly can't tell the differences. I even bet that if Cleva was still selling the 31069 that it'd be the same, that was in my opinion the last good Kenmore upright. But if I wanted to buy a Kenmore upright today, I'd get myself a SEBO who once made vacuums for Kenmore. Anyways...

I have one of those, very nice machine!

Was just talking about it yesterday. I think it was back in 2004, I visited a relative's home and they had I could've sworn two Bissell machines. A Proheat upright in maroon if I recall and a canister (bagged I believe) that I thought looked a little more red. There was one thing it for certain...

Just noticed today that Simplicity now has a variant called the S26 Allergy, nice to see a higher quality model from them again. I'll admit, I definitely like the looks of it more over the white Riccar variants and the price is more reasonable as well.

I'd check the internal hose, I've seen those commonly tear out (I even had to replace mine as well). These used two different types of motors here in the US, the most common one is Panasonic and the one I don't see too often is YDK.

The thing I like about their automatic height adjuster is that they can lower just enough where not only you'd get enough RPM but also enough airflow and agitation to clean carpets especially when it comes to cleaning like underneath the beds. When this video was released a while ago about how...

I could be wrong, it just seemed like from what I've seen and sounded like based on the designs they were.

It should be easy, yes remove the bottom plate and take the old hose out.

Yeah at least when it comes to residential vacuums, Rainbow along with it's rivals Sirena and Prolux are the only ones I can think of with digital motors being made today. If they count, some wet dry vacs like Shop Vac use a digital motor as well. Anyways I put in other because I don't care...

I think the last time I saw a Miracle Mate being sold was also back in 2017 but they switched from a ET-C powerhead to a ET-1 in the same blue color as well. I'm surprised they're still around today, thought they were long gone already. I hope that these new canisters aren't painted like the...
