Real nice I missed out on one a couple of years ago sitting at the junktorium near here. Snooze you lose scenario. Stupid me should have just taken it right away instead I left it figuring I'd come back another day and get it.. Who'd have thunk someone else would have bought it | ||

Love it....
Brandon, your right about the towing capacity lol. One that i had the hadle would stick sometimes and when I was vacuuming one day I had let go and it went flying into our new kitchen cabinets. Is yours jerky. I had 2 at different times and they were both jerkey. But the older one was more so.
Brian, you are correct. The early opening credits he was vacuuming the drapes with a green bag MOL non self prop.And about season 3 he upgraded to the self prop.=) I do miss those Knemore's. Now they have TTI and Bissell doing some/most of thier vacs now. Goodbye Sears. Enjoy,Kenny | ||

P.S.
I just watched. That is an early model id guess 83-84. And its good you have the right bag. Like you said alot of people use the F&G bags but that style with the tube at the top like yours they dont last long. If in a pinch you need a bag Id go with a Hoover type C it works much better for that model.

Rick,
Found a Ryobi web-page that does mention vacs! It's under "power tools"..... Scroll down to the bottom of the list of pdf documents here: CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK | ||

Here's another interesting article from 1996 reporting on Bissel's acquisition of "Ryobi Motor Products' Singer Floor Care Division" in South Carolina.
It's interesting that two Japanese corporations made in-roads into the American floor care market in the 1990's - both related to Sears Kenmore! In 1991, Japan's Matshushita (Panasonic) bought the Whirlpool vac plant that had been making Kenmores for years. And at some point in the same decade, Japan's Ryobi bought the rights to make "Singer" and "Kenmore" brand vacs as well. CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK | ||

correction - it would make more sense to say that at some point in the "previous" decade - the 1980's - Ryobi started making Singer and Kenmore vacs in the usa..... :-) But I bet someone else here can fill in the details of when Ryobi of Japan did this.
It's amazing how many companies ended up making Kenmore vacs over the years! Whirlpool, Matsushita, Sanyo, Regina, Electrolux, LG of Korea, Ryobi of Japan, and now TTI of China! | ||
