New Kenmore Canister 28014
Original Message   Mar 21, 2008 3:00 pm
Hi,

I was just browsing the Sears website and discoverod a new Kenmore bagged canister.  There's been a slight but not remarkable change in body design and many features are the same -- dirt sensor, lighted wand, etc. -- but what's really different is that there's been a new spin put on the power nozzle.  I think everybody knows by now that I strongly believe in the worth of a good old bare floor tool and hate the use of power nozzles on bare floors even though use of the same has become accepted and encouraged.  Well, the new nozzle by Kenmore purports to allow you the best of both worlds.

A bare floor tool is an integral part of the new PN.  It fits on top while the nozzle is in use on rugs and can be detached for bare floor cleaning.  I'll have to get to Sears to see it in the real but this sounds like a great idea.

Regards,

Venson

I thought Kenmore canns used the brush all around on their upholstery tools in lieu of having a round brush.  Plus the crevice and barefloor with the brush strips.  I could be wrong on my memory recall.

HOOVER did a similar tool and called it utility for its uprights.  Did away with the round brush and upholstery tool in favor of one utility tool.

This is only true of some of their models.  If there was a Kenmore model with the dusting brush/upholstery tool, the brush would slide off.  HOOVERS did not slide off.  HOOVER used the brush attachment on a few of their canisters also like the Constellation and low end Celebrities and Slimlines(except TOL).

The front of the brush slides into the top, then snaps down and locks.

I saw the Intuition last week.  See my review-

Venson:

Next time you see the Kenmore cann, quagomole green that sells for $140, at Sears or KMart look at the attachments: Barefloor brush and upholstery tool.

The SEARS Intuition snags the top spot for canisters by Consumer Reports in October 2008.  All red grades save a Good for handling.  N-I-C-E.
