Hey everyone, I thought I'd share this because there is very little information at the moment on a vacuum. I was watching an older video of somebody looking at the vacuum section of sears, when he came across a Kenmore stick vacuum that was quite odd. It had the older style canister power nozzle with a headlight, powered extension wand in the middle, and a hand vacuum that's corded colored with half silver, half black, and has typical Kenmore power controls used on current elite models. I'd just like to know the name of this vacuum, so I can do further research, and maybe buy one. They would seem to be rare. Just like a smaller Progressive Glide. It's in the below video from 1:56 to 2:16. They were made at the same time the Intuition uprights were made.

I remember seeing those at Sears. They were called the Evo vacuum and were meant to be an add on to the canister vacuums. The idea was you could use the wands and Powermate with it or put the Pet Powermate or other attachments directly on it. I think they cost around $80 or $90. I don't remember them being around very long, it was like 2011 or 2012 when I saw them for sale, so during the third (final) generation of the Progressive canisters, that had the funky hose end like the current model Elites and 600 series canisters have.

That's very cool. I just searched this on google youtube and ebay and all got results. That perfectly answers my question. Looks like there is one on ebay that isn't too bad of a price. I'll ask for it for my birthday which is on the 31st.

Interesting broom vacuum from what I could see in the video-made me dizzy and seasick at the same time!Bet that powernozzle would fill the bag or bin? of that hand vac in a hurry!

I have one. Our Sears, when it was closing down, sold them for $10 new in the box. It works OK, but it almost immediately clogs the small cloth filter over the motor intake. You seriously have to empty and clean the cloth every few minutes for it to work right.

Lucky! Wish I could've been there. Could you send a picture of the box? That seems like a common issue with those types of hand vacuums, because its just a piece of cloth before the motor.

I didn't keep the box, only kept the machine. I used it for a while until the whole fighting the filter thing made me stop using it.

I figured it would clog quickly, especially using the power nozzle with it.

Here's a commercial that shows the Evo vacuum briefly:
