Comment:
I bought a Kenmore thinking that Sears' quality was the best for the money. Boy was I ever disappointed!! The workmanship and ergonomics were poor. The plastic undercarriage broke literally 1 year and a month after owning it. In essence, 1 month after the warranty expired. I bought a Sebo and have had it for 5 years and it continues to be the best vacuum of 4 vacuums I have owned. What a shame!!!! Go German craftsmanship!!

The only problem I found is with the bag that originally came with the cleaner (paper) - blew 2 holes in it. Will get the HEPA bags which I understand are heavier.

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.
