According to expert and owner reviews, the Kenmore Progressive 35922 bagging vacuum cleaner is a solid performer and works especially well for cleaning up pet hair and vacuuming hard floors. Users like the Inteli-Clean system, which displays a light showing how dirty the patch of carpet you're vacuuming is and increases suction for especially dirty areas. Unlike most bagging vacuums, the Kenmore doesn't use a belt, which makes maintenance a bit easier. However, this model is quite heavy and some users find it difficult to push. Others say that it doesn't clean along edges as well as others. If you'd prefer a bagless vacuum, the Kenmore Progressive 36932 (*Est. $220) is a similar model and receives the same good reviews.

ConsumerReports.org includes the Kenmore Progressive 35922 in its latest in-depth roundup of vacuum cleaners. We also found reviews for this model at TheGreenGuide.com, ConsumerGuide.com and AssociatedContent.com. More than 350 owner reviews at Sears.com give insight into how this vacuum holds up over time.
