Singer Turtle was also a Kenmore, what model number?

[Impfac]

I have the hose to a kenmore canister carpet washer. Never seen one before or since, but could never find the unit online to find the hose part number.

Now I saw the Singer turtle and they look very similar. Anyone know what the kenmore was?

I vaguely remember those. I think it was from the mid 90s.
The last gasp of suction only, canister type, cheap carpet cleaners in the U.S.

I tried to locate the model number but can't seem to find it anywhere online.

The Kenmore version was very similar to the Singer, but included a powered nozzle called the Spraymate that was identical to the one sold for the earlier drum-style Kenmore Powerspray and Heavy Duty cleaners which also were made by Singer (Ryobi).

Bissell also had a green version of the turtle cleaner, because Singer sold the floorcare division to them in 1996 or 97. Later versions of the Kenmore use a powered nozzle that looks like the ones on the Bissell Powerbrush Big Green, likely because Bissell was producing the Kenmores by that point, and using the Singer design for the main cleaner, but their own design for the power nozzle.
