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 at 20 pounds. Users seem to like the Inteli-Clean lights, which change color to let you know when an area is clean, but say this vacuum doesn't edge well.

This site is mainly a promotion for a maid service, but it does have a decent complement of vacuum cleaner reviews. Editors call the Kenmore Progressive "highly recommended" despite a couple of minor quibbles about the short power cord and 22-pound weight.
