Kenmore Progressive Canister Vacuum with Telescopic Wand, Blue Moon White —
I really do like this vacuum cleaner. I love the telescoping wand, the on/off switch on the handle, the quiet motor when using it on carpet, its light weight, the powermate Jr. I don't have much carpet, mostly bare floors and the main sweeper could work a little better on bare floors. It would probably be great for large open spaces, but if you have to dodge furniture, it's just easier to use the floor attachment. The one thing I liked better on my old Kenmore was the placement of the cord. On this one, I practically have to pick up the whole thing and turn it over to pull the cord out--engineers pay attention! It should be higher on the back of the machine as it was on my old one. Other than that, I am really pleased with this vacuum--and that says a lot for a domestically challenged housewife!
