okay, when I was younger my grandparents had a Kenmore Upright. I would assume it was from the 90's. It was a gray upright, with the cloth bag on the front. It had optional tools, because I remember the port on the side. I think I have the hose, it is a stretch hose, but I am not sure which Kenmore it went to that I had. The whole thing was gray, and if I recall the headlight was on the very front. But I could be mistaking. I do not think the bag said"Kenmore" on it, but it may have said it on the base. But my grandmother and I both know for sure it was a Kenmore, because she had that one and a white Kenmore canister. If I recall she bought them both at the same time, I think I remember her saying that. I guess this vacuum is similar to an elite in a way. And the switch MIGHT have been on the base. But I do not remember. When she bought her Dirt Devil Vision, both of the Kenmores were given to me, and the upright got pitched sometime when I was young, but I do remember taking it on the couch and vacuuming with it ;). I had the canister just until about 7 years ago, when I plugged it in, and sparks flew EVERYWHERE. So its gone, but if you have this upright or know what kind it is, or where I could find one for that matter, please let me know, it has much sentimental value to me, and I would love to have one back in my collection. Thanks, Chase

Well I do have one. I have the grey bottom of the line one with the slider bag top. It does work well but is a cheap peice of crap. It is in my Elite type cleaners of the early 90's. I have a collection of the front bag, direct air type cleaners. Elite 200, Dirt Devil Classic, Kenmore Power center, Eureka Brovo, I am looking for the Singer and Bissell types from this era.
