Kenmore Vacuum Cleaners were first sold in 1932 by the Sears Roebuck Company. They are currently manufactured primarily by Panasonic and sold predominantly at Sears and Kmart stores nationwide.
[include file=/includes/ads/ads-t2-top.shtml]There are a wide variety of Kenmore vacuums and carpet cleaning products to choose from, including, uprights, canisters, central vacuum systems, and a carpet shampooer / hard floor cleaner. They range in price from $50.00 to $600.00, and, in addition to Sears and Kmart, can be purchased at other local retailers and online at Amazon.com. Amazon also carries many Kenmore vacuum parts, accessories, bags, and filters.
Kenmore Vacuum Cleaners are frequently rated #1 by Consumer Reports, consistently receiving their “Best Buy” rating. However, as with all brands, there are good and bad performing models within each product line and consumers should always evaluate each, individual model on its own merits to find the best vacuum for their needs.
One common consumer complaint of Kenmore vacuums, in general, is having difficulty finding replacement parts, especially for older models. To make things worse, some of the Kenmore vacuum cleaner parts are proprietary to Kenmore and therefore not standard, making them very difficult to replace.
If your local Sears store, or its online counterpart Sears Parts Direct, doesn’t have what you need, you can try a local vacuum cleaner repair shop or online at TotalVac.com.
