Although this is a well manufactured machine, I didn’t like it.  It weighed more than the old Kenmore I was replacing.  The hose is the same as the old one and would not move and would twist.  The wheels in the back only go one direction so I had to yank to get the canister to move.  It is sad.  Kenmore is a good product.  The handheld motorized attachment was great.  The machine cleaned very well.  I just wished Kenmore paid more attention to making design changes as well. Not suited for my needs.
