Nice finds Guy, my guess would be that the Kenmore is a Panasonic. IMHO these are really great vacuums. You have to love that long hose too. | ||

After posting my thoughts Jason I knew that it wasn't Panasonic as well. I wasn't sure how long Whirlpool made the vacuums for Sears. None the less it is a great vacuum. Terry | ||

That hoover is awesome. It's a part of the 1976 Hoover condiment line up. In this line up Hoover has four Convertibles ( mustard,mayo,pickles,and ketchup. Your is the ketchup model. All models were higher end,well mustard and mayo were very high end and pickles and ketchup were mid range, no headlight and small things like that were about the only difference. I believe the 4063 was mustard the 4059 was mayo I forget the others. The ones here had the same bag pattern but with a wide top. We do have a model around the same time that was a lower end square hood with the same color that took that same narrow top bag. | ||

Were both vacuums in the same store? The Kenmore is my favourite. It looks like it would have been expensive at the time. Guy, any chance of seeing more of your house? It looks like you have some pretty cool stuff. I like the phone way in the back. I was trying to figure out what your furniture looks like. | ||

I don't really know if they called them condiments or if vac shops and people like us started that. Alex Braun or John Long will have to chime in here. Kind of like the model 33 special aka Agnus Moorhead special. I never knew if Hoover called it that or not. Ps I don't know how to spell her name, sorry lol

That Would Be
Agnes. The 33 in lavender is the machine my Mom and Dad bought new at Polk Bros in Chicago. Didn't know until recently that it was a model done in honor of Agnes Moorehead another advocate for Hoover. Love that! Here is mine, a replacement behind the 32 and between the 31 and the 1100 with our own Vana - Tania.

I had that same kenmore and need I say it was LOUD!!! I had to get rid of it due to a cracked housing but now I regret getting rid of it because I could have had it fixed and used it for my daily cleaning. Great find though! | ||

Ok, preliminary newspaper research indicates that model 4073 is from 1975-1977, with this ad claiming it as an Eaton's exclusive. That Kenmore is uber nice, that I think is from 1982 as that's the first year with the geared belt Power Mate.
I would like to clarify the debate on when Panasonic took over Kenmore. Up until 1990 the Kenmore canisters were 100% Whirlpool made, even the redesigned "Premier" models in 1984. Around the late 80's to 1990, Whirlpool was wanting to focus on its core appliance manufacturing and exit the vacuum business. In June 1990, Panasonic purchased a majority stake and formed a joint venture with Whirlpool to continue vacuum manufacturing for Kenmore as well as Panasonic labeled vacuums, and in the deal acquired Whirlpool's designs and the Danville, KY plant. I know that 100% Panasonic Kenmore uprights like the Whispertone and the Power Center didn't appear until 1992, but I don't have an official year of when Panasonic 100% acquired Whirlpool's remaining stake.

Oooh....
Love the Kenmores =) the blue of corse is my fav but I like the newer PN as far as cleaning goes I think it is just slightly better only because the belt doen't slip.
Guy, The convetible is nice too of corse ;) The headlight lense may not be missing, I thought the same with my 1983 Kenmore. But when i seen it in a Sears catalogue it didn have a lense. But mine does have a mark like one was there. Also the PN on you Sears Best is I think one of the first to use the new PN. If you look at the bottom and it only has the belt guard and the other two "braces" are missing its a very early model of the new power nozzles. Probably from mid to late 1981/early 82. Good luck with these great vacs guys. Kenny | ||
