Do those little vents actually do anything? Just seems interesting. Would be fun to test on a thick shag rug. |

I did get the extra 2 year warranty agreement. The standard warranty from Sears is for 1 year. The machine was made in China. |

I wonder if this model is made by Panasonic? Also, what is the size of the hose end? I remember hearing that a lot of the Kenmore vacuums started using a nonstandard size for their tools. |

Haven't seen that one yet interesting.
I have the preceeding red Progressive. I must say I like the dusting brush on yours and the Elite better than the horseshoe shaped one on mine. Mine is horsehair too but bulky to fit in small spots like shelves or the car dashboard edges. If I used mine more often I might buy the other brush. I agree the floorbrush could be bigger but I like the swivel and the felt pads it has to keep from scratching floors. The crevice tool leaks air from the slots on the sides. I'm surprised your wand lights don't come on without the Power Mate attached. My wand and handle look the same and mine do come on without it attached if it's set to carpet. I don't adjust my wand anymore because on the first one the connection inside broke when I slid it out. It was still under warranty then so they replaced it but I don't want to break it again out of warranty! Does the canister hose end swivel any more? The connection on this and the Elite looks like they changed from the 1984 style end. Mine was made in Mexico but some newer Kenmore uprights seem to be Chinese made. |

As far as I know there are 4 models in this series. This 700 Series Kenmore Elite, the 800 series. The only difference I can see with these two is the power nozzle. The 800 series has the Crossover Powermate with removable floor brush and dirt sensor, whereas this one doesn't. The 800 series is the replacement for the blue Intuition Crossover model. The 700 may be the replacement for the Progressive red model, but I'm not sure because the Progressive has the dirt sensor and this does not.
Apart from that, there are two other bagless canisters in the series. One is the purple one you mention that has a standard older-style metal hose end. This is the 600 series and is basically the exact Panasonic version with different colors and the Kenmore name. The last is the 200 series, which is also the same as the Panasonic version. This one is variable speed, and has a cute little Powermate that looks like it could be German. This one has very tiny attachments that require an adapter however. I also see a red and black bagless canister on their website but I haven't seen it in the store nor do I know if it is part of this series. |
