I was wondering when Kenmore had a Whispertone canister with the dirt sensor lights on the powerhead? I know they had one as I recall seeing the manual for it and I believe CenTec did and may still make that style of PN that Kenmore was using at the time with the dirt sensor?
I know it would have come after 1993-94 for sure as my catalogs don't show any with it. Also guessing it was before 1998 or so when the Progressive was introduced with the new curved headlight PN as TOL canister. | ||

Well the CenTec in this link definitely does and there are others that do. Do you mean Kenmore in the old days never offered a dirt sensor? My new Progressive definitely does have one, and they have all the way back to the first gen Progressives that have the CenTec PN I linked.
And I'm pretty certain there was a Whispertone that did, but I guess it wasn't for long as I've only seen one or two in photos. But I know for a fact I've seen some that did. CLICK HERE TO GO TO fan-of-fans's LINK | ||

The dirt sensor lights weren't/aren't that common. They are typically only offered on the very TOL models. Currently the red Progressive like mine and the Intuition offer the feature. It's fun, but I've found it isn't really that useful. Maybe my sensors need cleaning, but the lights rarely change turn red unless I pick up fairly big debris. I can hear lots of sand going up the wands and the lights will still be green. I think it's more of a gimmick to get people to buy the TOL models than anything else. I do really like that LED headlight on the wand though, it's great when using the bare floor brush.

Suck, you mention something interesting. Prior to my blue progressive being de-posessed it would act like it had a second lower speed. Interesting... | ||

I beg to differ, I have a kenmore pn from a late 90's TOL model that has the 4 red, yellow/orange and green dirt sensor lights. 3 brush strip roller...The finest kenmore nozzle I have! | ||
