I have that same dc28, Its a beast, It will drag you accross the carpetwhen the brush roll grips. Unfortunatly someone ( not me ) plugged it into the wrong plug socket in my house, ( 220v is standard in SA but seen as I have lots of USA vacuums I have 110v aswell) some how forcing the plug into a multi plug socket and fried the motor 
Its sitting at my workshop awaiting a new motor.
I like that Hoover, I like the squared off lines of the bag housing.

once the brushes get hold of my THICK carpet forget it the Dyson DC28 is not going anywhere its unusable I guess it needs a low pile carpet or bare floors .

I didn't use it on the carpet in our bedroom that is thick pile, seriously sink to your knees thick 
but it worked well in the lounge which is medium cut pile. I love all the tech in it though.

it looks like
a good machine I just have a hard time with any bag less vacuum . I prefer a water vacuum for bag less or just a plain ole bagged vacuum .

Funny...
I have that Kenmore on the right in Maroon but have yet to use it. I got it for $5 at an auction. It is nutso heavy, basically tank like. I wonder that vacs like this will be nearly impossible to find faster than any other vac in history. Made for only a year or two, unpopular, and trouble prone seems to be a recipe for rarity. The white elephant factor is a hoot as long as it doesn't cost much and you have the room to store it.
Okay Dan i think we can say Kenmores may be one of your favorite non-favorite brands. They are entertaining and only as far as the nearest Sears, am i right?

Well I received a
call from one of the most knowledgeable vacuum guru I know Mr. John Gregory of Sweeper Central himself the other vacuum guru is Mr. Tom Gasko . John Gregory has just informed me that those Kenmore`s were made by TTI/Dirt Devil I kind of thought that by the brush roll . They were made during a time that Sears was having trouble with Panasonic and TTI stepped in and built these machines to provide Sears with a Kenmore very different than they ever had. They were modeled after the Fantom with the rear placement of the motor . The twin chamber bag less dirt cup was a Dirt Devil reaction even the chrome separators' in the dirt cup was straight from the reaction . These machines were supposed to be built as Royals later on but the Dealers didn`t want a machine that resembled a Kenmore so once Sears mended its problems with Panasonic the machine was discontinued .

Lux Legacy I just found this in back of the loft under a blanket I have no idea why I was hiding it ?
Must be my vacuum purchasing sickness

I agree with you, John seems like a great guy. I called and talked to him about buying the professional commercial that looks like the decade series. I feel bad since I haven't gotten back to him def want to give a guy like that business.

Colby , Johns store
Is beautiful and he has the entire Hoover line in one stop shopping . Any parts you could imagine some parts so rare only John has them . Plus just his vast knowledge of
Hoover is incredible . I had no idea how rare and valuable my Convertibles and other Hoovers in my collection are . I have to look into some type of sedative to help me fly

I know I can just hop into the Benz and drive but it would take days to get to St.James were at opposite ends of the country . That makes me think though I could fill the Benz full of Tacony vacuums I'd be
buying out the factory if I did that .
That's because your my brother from another mother living in a country far far away
