It's been a lifelong dream to finally complete my pink Model 90 Kenmore vacuum. Chad Michael from Michigan turned me on to a man with the matching PINK Lady Kenmore power nozzle. Here she is in all her glory. The Vacuum Cleaner Museum is very proud to display this machine in the 1960's section of the Museum, along with its fellow Kenmore vacuums.

Power Nozzle lettering on front. The brown vinyl Guard is the furniture protector. This power nozzle also has a headlight.

Rarely does a vac have such a neat combination of beauty, performance and historic significance, it's great to see it in the Museum! |

Looks great.A very good nozzle that was only used for a short time at Sears and then on the last(brown)RCA Whirlpool of the mid 60s. But isn't it lonely without the matching 2 brush shampoo/polisher with the concealed wax tank and remote pump?!? |

The Lady Kenmore - all opened up. The bag set up was all wrong, using only one side of the machine. The attachment storage along with the spare wand storage on the bottom, made the "Lady" a heavy weight at 28 pounds (fully loaded).

That's a lot to love! My FQ will be happy to know she's not the heaviest gal in the classic vac world :) |

Thanks Rob. It took many people and real effort to get this thing together. It definitely came 'separately'. Donnie (my BF) found the machine, the hose is from the Kenmore 90 Whispertone, and the power nozzle find belongs squarely on the shoulders of Chad Michael from Michigan - fellow Simplicity dealer and all around GREAT GUY.

Tom, that Kenmore looks really nice! I bet you are glad to be able to have it to show off in the Museum. Now, when you say the bag set-up was all wrong....could it have been entirely possible that Kenmore was trying to create the "cyclonic" effect in the bags, the same as Regina tried to do in the late 70's with their canisters? It just occurred to me as I was reading this thread tonight that this may have been their intentions when designing the vacuum.
