Kenmore Canister Vacuum Cleaner Yellow (27814)

This vacuum replaces my 14 year old Whispertone Kenmore whose carpet sweeper finally gave up.  I bought this bright yellow model because it has the Dirt Sensor feature like my old one, which makes vacuuming more entertaining. A new nifty feature is the...

We purchased this vacuum 2 years ago and it was good until a little after the first year.  As we would start to use the unit, the vacuum would lose power to the main roller and shortly after that we noticed a burning smell.  The telescopic wand's...

This vacuum is very well designed, easy to use, and very powerful.  The cleaning is very efficient especially the catch rest design which facilitates cleaning the stairs, and the curtain tool attachment.  The swivel head and light really helps to get...

This vacuum is all you need. Light weight and manoverable, you're in for years of easier cleaning.

I purchased vacuum in Aug '07.  After 2 1/2 years of use the power-head cuts out when the wand is rotated. Repair quote is $217.80. The wiring has burnt out on the head, wand & harness hose.  The repair techs are quite familiar with the problem and the...

I have a cleaning business for 42 yrs. I have owned just about every vac under the sun.  The best vac is progressive or kenmore whisperbelt.  If someone doesn't like it is  because they really don[t know how to use it and what great features it has.  ...

Overall a good vacuum. Easy to use, vacuums well. However, it's very bulky and heavy. Constantly pulling the canister into position while vacuuming gets old quickly. Hard to use in tight spots. Storing is a pain - takes up too much space if you hook...

Purchased new January 2005. Has all bells and whistles. The problems I have had include: 1. The contacts between the beater bar and the bottom main suction pipe need to be massaged every year or so to maintain power to the power head during use,...

We have the gray progressive canister vac. model # 116 25915507, which I can't find anymore. I believe this is the model closest to it. I am seriously disappointed with mine. I have had the power mate in to be fixed twice in 2 years, and I don't use it...
