Austin, I'm trying to remember the wheels but if irc the drive wheels are just hard plastic with a molded ribbed tread. One of the other slight "don't likes" about it is that that it is so big and wide, slightly wider and deeper than the DAM so tight spaces are a bit of a pain. Definitely not a vac for small apartment living.
Crazy For Kenmore!!

This was a gift from Chad Schiebrl (thank you again Chad) and I will treasure it forever. I just have to replace that red hose though. Everything else is original and in mint condition.

No Duo Powers This Time
Jeff, This past fall village trash pickup netted no Duo Powers. I had been getting at least one a season from that. It would be nice to find more here too. I'm sure they'll turn up as this area is the Kenmore capitol! Kenmore, NY is nearby and maybe has something to do with it. LOL!

Beautiful Kenmores everyone! Fred, that brown one is exactly like my grandmother's. It was the only canister/suction-only she ever owned and it ran great despite being used hard for many years.
I've never seen the blue-green one before, that is very cute!

Robb....
you are so welcome for the Kenmore. I found this at an estate sale along with a Air-Way model 66 a Kenmore upright from the late 40's and a Lewyt Big Wheel. This was nearly 6 years ago....and all I have left is the AW 66 that replaced the one that I gave to Jeff P. a few years before that. Last he told me his dad was using it to clean his car with!
Yeah...the grey hose that came with it was ratty and torn in WAY too many places for my liking. The red hose is nothing more than a Kirby Classic III hose that I had spare over in my old store! It looked close...but obviously no cigar!
The only Kenmore I have anymore is the CordReel Twin-Fan upright from 1980. It's cinnamon and cream with the wild floral bag and woodgrian trim. I also have another 1940's model that Jeff and I found at Alsip Illinois like a decade ago...
Hey Jeff...been there recently?

Alsip...
Chad,
I haven't been to any flea markets in ages, no time! Used to be I had time to get to Alsip, or Melrose, or even Montana Charlie's down in Joliet every weekend!
Maybe on day things will calm down and I can get back to some of the old haunts
