Our Webmaster's posting of Kenmore pages has me asking: Did Sear's ever have a really good upright vacuum? The pages Robert posted show a few (or the same ) uprights but was there ever a real "winner" in the Kenmore upright line? I know they had a version of the Singer twin fans and then in the 70's started those hard shell machines. I am talking about that particular time frame; not later on when they had the re-badged Hoovers, etc.
30s thru the early 60s Birtman designed uprights were great machines.you do know they invented the rear plug in hose converter 10 years before Hoover came out with it.
