 Strolling through Sears today revealed a few new Kenmore uprights!
First off, Their Budget cleaners. These where disused Earlier, But I don't remember discussing the bagless machines?
They seem well made, the only difference between the economy model and the higher end machines being the higher end model has a removable HEPA filter and Turbo tool.

Indeed, it is nice how many bagged machines Kenmore has at all price ranges. I just ordered the low end silver bagged upright as it was marked 40$ off for black Friday. I will likely post something about it when I get it. Scott | ||

I saw the uprights this weekend. I was wondering what the differences on the blue vs silver ones.
My favorite is the aqua blue Intuition upright, which also has the three motor system. I just really like the aqua blue color. The Blueberry canister is great too. I have the Red one, just used it for decluttering my house and cleaning behind furniture. It does a great job. | ||

Tyler....don't you find the hose handle on the new canisters too bulky? Those integrated dusting brushes seem to make the whole handle really big, preventing you from squeezing into tight spaces behind refrigerators, besides beds and under car seats. Do the integrated attachments even work well? Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this aspect of the new Kenmore canisters. :-)

My opinion:
I agree with Tyler the handle is somewhat bulky. It isn't a big deal to me unless I'm trying to clean shelves or other tight areas. The integrated dusting brush can't swivel which I find more of a drawback than the bulky design.
I will say the dusting brush works well, it has horsehair bristles which are fairly soft compared to most other current canisters. The crevice tool has half-circle vents each side which I don't understand the purpose of. They leak too much suction from it, in my opinion. I haven't tried the Pet Powermate, so can't give an opinion there. The pet hair/upholstery tool works pretty well though. The floor brush is a big improvement. They kept the bristle placement of the older ones, but improved the swivel so it can swivel side to side AND forward and back. Now you can hold the wand at many different angles without the brush tipping up. They also added a felt pad at the rear to keep it from scraping the floor. It even has horsehair bristles. Only issue is it is still quite small. | ||

You know, I often need to vacuum drawers in a dresser or night-table or in the kitchen. That Kenmore hose handle with the integrated dusting brush would not really be good for the task. Indeed, you need to be able to swivel the dusting brush on the end of the hose to more easily get to the back areas of the drawers. This new Kenmore set-up really is not good for the task. Much better to have an old fashioned slim hose handle with friction-fit dusting brush!
Nice to see they really improved the floor brush, though! | ||

When I do move out in 2016, there is a higher chance I will refuse Kenmore. | ||
