I have been after one of these for such a long time, a Kenmore Progressive IntelliClean Bagged. Ever since I laid my eyes on the first one I saw, I had to have it. Well, my mom's boyfriend had this laying around at his work and brought it home for me. And it was trashed. It was so dirty, had some kind of white paint dots all over it, and missing all of the attachments. It even had the factory bag in it!!! It was STUFFED full... But with some paper towels and Windex, it turned out near new! I also scrounged up a few attachments for it, but I need the upholstery tool and telescopic wand. I shouldn't have a problem finding those though.

Performance- The suction is great on this vacuum! It really does a good job deep cleaning as well, thanks to the Direct Drive System, and the super stiff bristles! The hose is nice and long as well. I have had experience with the IntelliClean feature on a Panasonic bagless thing I used to have, and I didn't really like it on that machine. But it's perfect on this one! It really is a VERY neat feature. This also has a standard carpet setting, gentle sweep, brushroll off, and High-Medium-Low button for tool use or regular vacuum. I also LOVE the switches on this machine. I have a thing for electronic switches on vacuums. But if you can get one of these cheap, I strongly recommend picking it up!

This is what it looked like when I got it..

Ah, this is the very model my friends destroyed a few times over, it was a great performer.
