I LOVE THOSE KENMORES........
I have the Whirlpool version of that. They were made in the mid to
late 1980's and ended in the early 1990's. These were one hell of a vacuum! Not only excellent rug cleaning but the BEST edge cleaning ive ever had. When you use it, sprinkle some dirt in a edge of a wall where some carpet ends, first go from the side than go from the front. i think you'll be blown away!
just to let you know belts are no longer made for this, use a
Dirt-Devil style 4/5
