Comment:
I purchased this vacuum in spite of the poor user reviews because my last Kenmore lasted for 20 yrs. and CR recommended it. However, one yr. and a day past my purchase date, the power head stopped working. The cost of replacement parts, if they could be found, were more than the cost of the vacuum. Only one vacuum repair shop in my area would even consider looking at it.

Comment:
This is my third Progressive and it is the most poorly made. Very flimsy plastic parts that break easily. It does a great job but over the three years I have had it one piece after another has broken off to the point now I have to repair it for $$$ or buy a new one. Not worth the price if it only lasts 3 years.
