Kenmore Progressive with Direct Drive Review

I needed a new sweeper and using Consumer Reports spotted the Kenmore Progressive sweeper.  The Kenmore Progressive was one of few recommended and had an awesome feedback record.  I was a little hesitent to purchace as the price was too reasonable and I was wary of any Sears product.  I eventually bought a unit almost two years ago and have little or no complaints.   I also have two big dogs, a Golden Retriever and a Black Lab.  The Kenmore Progressive has outperformed more expensive Hoover units I previously owned.  I main feature I like is the Dirt Sensor the Kenmore Progressive is equipped with.  The sensor lets operator know when area is clean and to move on.  During heavy shedding season (Long and Short hair dogs), it takes some patience but this sweeper does the job.  The only drawbacks I can find is that I don't care for Sears service and prices.   Do Not let this opinion deter you as I've needed no service to this point outside of a free annual cleaning which took 2 days.  Am extremely pleased with this unit.  As far as Sears service and price, they were unbeatable with this unit on both counts!
