Kenmore thrift store sightings

At one thrift store, I saw a Kenmore Performance upright of early 90s, I believe it was self-propelled and it was gray. There was also a black Kenmore Whispertone canister. It would be TOL as it had the variable speed control on hose and performance indicator light. The upright was $15 and it sold, the canister is still there and it is $25. Honestly, I don't need another but it's in really nice shape. Some scuffs on bottom, but it had few scratches that I could see and the hose had NO splits or tape on it, rare for the silvery hoses of that era. It had all of the attachments and extra bags too! I looked in my Sears catalogs when I got home and it's in my 1993 catalog.

Also at Habitat I saw a very simple looking orange Hoover Spirit canister and a Eureka Home Cleaning System canister with PN.

The Whispertone is tempting. It's rather expensive and another Kenmore canister is one of the last things I need! But it's in such great shape and probably still has a two stage motor being a 1993!
