A review: Kenmore Progressive Vacuum

When Jake and I bought this house, our family vacuum was a Eureka Mighty Mite Pet Vac. For our duplex, with its wood floors and minimal carpet, this was a fine vacuum. Certainly worth the minimal money we paid for it. Yet when we moved here and had more square footage and even more carpeted footage, it became apparent that we needed a new vacuum. We really didn't want to buy one - it isn't a very fun thing to spend your money on. We spent about 4 months borrowing my parents' Electrolux Oxygen (which is AMAZING) and learned quickly two things:
1) good vacuums make a difference and 
2) you're better off forking the money over the first time, do it right, and get what you want or else you'll be buying vacuum after vacuum. 


We did a little research (we are a Consumer Reports family) and looked around online before going to Sears and buying our Kenmore Progressive Canister Vacuum. 

After being spoiled by my parents' vacuum, we knew we wanted:


1) a canister
2) with a motor powered carpet attachment
3) 360 turning wheels
4) upholstery attachment
5) bagged 


We've had this for a few months now and absolutely love it. I was very worried when buying a vacuum because it's a lot of money for us and I don't trust other people's opinions. Since I've loved ours so much, I just wanted to spread the news!
