Ah but I'm just a consumer of vacuums - I have many - I don't see the SEBO as being the ultimate of uprights. But I'm sure you'd feel the same if you saw one of your favourite vacuums being copied and sold alongside.
And for your additional info - we don't get Kenmore in the UK - though Panasonic based, the uprights we do get are slightly different and not as intuitive.
