yes, I know it's a bagless bad design that way. Surely it could be converted to bagged. I bought one of these new in 2010 for $49.99 and didn't care for the bagless part either. It's just a cute compact vacuum. |

If this is a non powered hose, I can say that that hose is not at all unique to Kenmore. It's a 3rd party outsourced part. The entire vacuum is, really. This same canister shell mold was used for about 10 different vacuums at that time, with just cosmetic modifications to the buttons. Even Riccar was guilty too. I suspect reputable companies like Kenmore and Riccar put vacuums out like this just to fill price gaps for their lower range and were not concerned with the dubious quality of the construction.
I have two other canister vacuums from both Dirt Devil and someone called "Premium" and they have the same exact hose. If you can find one of these china pride canisters, or even just a hose on eBay, you can dismantle it and swap your hose out. However the break is so close to the handle you can just slice it off behind the cut and re-attach the hose without losing but maybe 1-3" of length. |
