I noticed in last weekend's sale ad that Sears now has two new Kenmore bagless canisters with PNs.
The higher end one is purple. Interestingly, instead of using the current hose and wand connection like the Progressives has, it has the older metal ended hose and wands. The hose handle looks like the one the first and second gen Progressives had. Also, the attachments are the older style as well from when they had four attachments. The dusting brush and crevice tool store on the wand it seems, but I can't tell where the upholstery brush and floor brush store. www.sears.com/kenmore-bagless-can... The lower end one is silver. I can't really tell who makes this unit, but it doesn't seem to have any Panasonic characteristics like the purple one does. www.sears.com/kenmore-bagless-com... |

I went to sears to check them out. I didn't see where the upholstery brush goes either or the Power-Mate Jr. It looks like it has a decent filtration system. The smaller one is awful on the other hand. The attachments also tore on the wand but are to big for the hose end so it comes with this adapter but the adapter doesnt store onboard..like how stupid is that to have onboard tools that dont fit. I was like so am I supposed to carry the adapter in my pocket? The filter system doesn't look so hot eiter, the hepa filter is also the pre filter and the pleats were already clogged on it and the woman said they just put them out this week.
The Power nozzle seems decent for a small cheap vac but its no good without suction lol |

I bought this Kenmore Cyclonic & LOVE it! Nothing but praises; at least it has "real" full size attachments & electric Power Mate Jr instead of turbine powered mini PN

I just use the Lux combo floor brush/rug tool for vacing tile floors. The ONLY thing I dislike is the Power Mate Jr uses a flat belt & no overload protection on the PM Jr |

Yeah, only the very early Power Mate Juniors had the overload protection, if any. I'm surprised it uses a flat belt, although this one and the blue Intuition use the older style PM Jr, while the Progressives use the newer one. I have a newer one but haven't looked to see what kind of belt it uses. I thought the older ones we have with the Whispertones used a geared belt but it's been a while since I had them apart.
