Owners and experts say the bagless Kenmore Progressive 36932 upright vacuum performs just as well or better than Dyson's bagless vacuums on carpets, bare floors and pet-hair-covered rugs. Although the Kenmore 36932 isn't truly self-propelled, its rotating brush roll helps move the vacuum across the floor. This Kenmore vacuum cleaner works well with tools, an important consideration if you plan to vacuum stairs, drapes and upholstery, but it is relatively heavy (20 pounds). The Dyson DC18 Slim All Floors (*est. $400) is a high-performing (albeit more expensive) alternative, but you could also consider the Eureka Boss SmartVac 4870GZ (*est. $150), the top-rated bagging vacuum cleaner.
