This is a Canadian Kenmore that I've never seen. The power nozzle is what I find cool.

Yup that is a BOL power-mate. We havn't had those here in the US sence about 1999-2001? But they have been available in CA, I wonder why? The thing about those PM's is that the belt is flat, and also in the dirt path, But they do work quite well. Sometimes when the belt breaks it gets sucked up and/or stuck in the neck of the PN.

I wish we had all those colors. Our BOL would be the orange (179.99) followed by the blue (199.99)Reg price, 20 bucks less on sale. I would love to get the red straight suction model. I don't know why Sears.com/ca will not ship to the US. You can't even phone order from them. The only Kenmore Straight suction available here is the Magic Blue IIRC and the bags are so small Id fill it in one or two uses.

Bill,
You are correct in that Sears signed a contract with TTI to produce some Kenmore vacs - mostly the cheaper ones like the one that started this thread. But Panasonic still makes the higher quality Kenmore vacs. The Progressive/Elegance bagged power nozzle canisters are Panasonics, and any of the uprights that have the beltless Direct-Drive revolving brush are definitely Panasonics because they have a patent on the brush roll design. The attachments being sold with the Canadian Kenmore central vacs at our Canadian stores are definitely cheap "Made in China" TTI tools. What looks like a horse-hair dusting brush turns out to have really brittle harsh bristles. Don't know what kind of horse gave them those hairs!!!! LOL!!! They seem to be more like from goats!!!! I took a close look at those low end canisters with the wimpy dusting brush on-board and the whole vac felt like a cheap TTI Dirt Devil. I'd say stay away from them..... EP Brian |
