It's been a lifelong dream to finally complete my pink Model 90 Kenmore vacuum. Chad Michael from Michigan turned me on to a man with the matching PINK Lady Kenmore power nozzle. Here she is in all her glory. The Vacuum Cleaner Museum is very proud to display this machine in the 1960's section of the Museum, along with its fellow Kenmore vacuums.

Im GLAD you got it Tom!

Doesent that look at least 10 to 15 years ahead of its time, I think that was one reason it was not popular, it was so futuristic people shied away from it...but it truly was the best power nozzle of its time....think about it, Kenmore had a L shaped nozzle in 61, and a direct connect hose in 60....Rainbow didnt have the direct connect hose for years and years, and Electrolux didnt have it until the 70s...the L shaped head until the 80s!and look at the design of the elbow, far ahead, even of most machines today, notice too, its covered in rubber so it wont bang up your furniture.
 
Now THAT is a Power-Nozzle! Where did I put my Sears card!?

pink Kenmore

Looks great.A very good nozzle that was only used for a short time at Sears and then on the last(brown)RCA Whirlpool of the mid 60s.
But isn't it lonely without the matching 2 brush shampoo/polisher with the concealed wax tank and remote pump?!?
 
The nozzle was ALSO used in 1969, by Rexair on the chrome dome Rainbow. It featured the pistol grip electric hose as well, decades before Rainbow would make an electric hose themselves.
 
The Lady Kenmore - all opened up. The bag set up was all wrong, using only one side of the machine. The attachment storage along with the spare wand storage on the bottom, made the "Lady" a heavy weight at 28 pounds (fully loaded).
