Kenmore 25914 / 25915 Progressive Bagged Canister Vacuum Review

I was stoked to get a canister vac after using a heavy old upright for years. I hate uprights!!! When I bought this I considered all the Kenmore vacs as I was used to that being a very reliable brand. I'm impressed by the improvements that have been made since the last time I looked at sweepers, like the ease of taking apart the tubes, the on/off button in the handle and the step to release the head.

But I'm dissapointed that it hasn't been more durable. I haven't yet had this a year and I'm having small problems. The light in the head turns on and off for no reason. The head is also stuck in one position, medium. All my carpet is very low pile! I haven't had these issues looked at as I didn't buy the expensive warranty. I'm living with these flaws but they annoy me greatly.
