Yesterday I was on my home from school and I passed a garage sale. There is never anything worth getting at the garage sales in my town usually, but I saw a familiar handle next to a table so I decided to turn around. It turned out to be a vacuum that I have been wanting ever since they came out. A Kenmore Progressive Direct Drive with the electronic controls. I have the first purple model, but it does not have all of the cool buttons like this. I figured the $10 price tag was more than worth it. I got it home and gave it a test run right away. The brushroll wasn't turning so I hit the reset switch and it kicked right on! All I had to do was give it a good cleaning and replace the bag. I'm not going to bother getting the few scuffs off since I'll be using it a lot. If you have never used a Kenmore with Direct Drive before, I strongly recommend them. You would not believe what they pull out of the carpet!

And here is something that I have been trying to find for years, a purple Eureka Bravo II. If you look at my profile picture, this vacuum is in it. This was my very first real vacuum, and I only had it for a few months before it got thrown away. My mom's friend gave it to me and said it didn't work, so my mom would not let me use it. When we got home, I started scraping the walls in my bedroom with the plug, so my dad ended up cutting the cord off.
I was lucky to find this one in like new condition at a thrift store. It just needed a wipe down, new bag, and a new belt! This will always hold a special place in my heart.

That Dirt Devil Classic next to it was my first real upright. What I wouldn't give to have that back. A great machine. | ||
