    Kenmore stick vacuum

    You're right Cole, they want too much for it on Amazon and the Sears/Kenmore website. Maybe it will go on sale for Black Friday. I don't usually have an issue buying things like this on eBay, but if it ever breaks within the first year warranty, you'd be out of luck.

    Kenmore stick vacuum

    Well, I guess that is better than no warning at all. There doesn't yet seem to be a best cordless stick vacuum around. I've looked through dozens of them. Oreck seems to be the closest with the pod concept and decent battery life, as well as indicators to show you when the pod needs to be...

    Who has a daily driver?

    My daily driver as of late for daily cleanings of the hard surfaces is the Oreck pod vacuum. So easy to grab off the charging dock, takes no time to vacuum the house. And I love that the dirt is contained in the cloth pod, so no bagless mess to contend with. For the carpeted den (which I don't...

    Kenmore stick vacuum

    Hi Justin. I figured the Kenmore wouldn't be anything special, but I'd rather buy one that does not require the user to hold down a trigger to vacuum. I understand the purpose (to save battery), but I wouldn't buy one that requires that. Also, after reading some of the reviews, folks complained...

    Kenmore stick vacuum

    One thing that attracted me to this particular model (similar to the Oreck) was the wall docking station and the ability to use the vacuum without having to hold down an annoying trigger button to operate. There was a mention in the FAQs regarding run time, but not sure if the answer actually...

    Kenmore stick vacuum

    Can anyone tell me anything about this particular stick vacuum by Kenmore? I wanted to get a vacuum for a family member for daily quick pick ups, but the Oreck pod (which I have) is still too expensive. I haven't been able to see this stick vacuum in person at a local Sears, but if anyone has...

    Best commercial vacuum options for multiple floor types (with some sort of power head)

    I believe someone on here recently bought a Hoover hushtone commercial vacuum. A couple people have mentioned they are nice cleaners and speak highly of them. You may want to check them out! https://www.hoovercommercial.com/hushtone/

    Best commercial vacuum options for multiple floor types (with some sort of power head)

    You say the Oreck is not performing well, but was badly neglected by the previous guy. Is it functionally not working? Does it need a new brush roller or belt? It should perform well on low pile area rugs and hard floors. Do you do above floor cleaning at the dealership or just floors with the...

    Why am I fascinated with vacuum cleaners?

    @completenutt Good points. Those are the reasons I mostly collect vacuums. What type of photography do you enjoy.. film?

    What really are stick vacuums?

    @human I saw one of these quickbrooms the other day at the thrift store. I was tempted to buy it since it was $5 or so dollars, but I passed in favor of the electrolux epic. They seem convenient for quick pick ups and have a decent size bag on them too.

    Kenmore Cleanmore with Rotating brush- Boston

    Nice set. Though I imagine shipping would be high, unless you could pick up in person.

    Electrolux Epic

    Thanks Mike. Its the nicest Epic I've come across at a thrift shop. Fun to find items that have been taken care of! Are these pretty much the same as the current Lux Guardian uprights, less the HEPA filter?

    @human No doubt it will outclean the wally world specials!

    Electrolux Epic

    @rugsucker That's a good point! I meant the floor combo tool. I may still look for one to allow for easier cleaning under chairs and the like. Some folks might think the Electrolux looks pretty old fashioned compared to newer bagless models. I went to a different thrift store later that...

    Electrolux Epic

    I needed another vacuum just as much as I needed another hole in the head! But this Electrolux Epic was too nice to pass up and the price was right! It was there hiding among some bagless vacuums and had the lowest price of any of the vacuums at the thrift store. It even had all of the...

    Kenmore Spraymate attachment

    Nice! Yeah I heard the spraymates are loud, but I'd still like to find one sometime for a reasonable price.

    Hi Greg. Do you have the spraymate attachment with yours? It looks like this:

    Sounds like we probably have the same model Cleanmore :) Mine is also light gray and orange.
