our last Kenmore vacuum lasted for 16 years..this new one is really powerful when you have it on high.....like that you can adjust how strong the suction will be...love the color!   don't think I have ever seen this color on a Kenmore before....received this new one really fast from the time that we ordered it, which makes me think that I will order from you again.......hope this vacuum lasts as long as our last one...we have only purchased a few vacuums over the last 40 plus years which tells you that this one will be with us for a while.
