Kenmore Progressive 35922 Review

What the reviewers like:
The Kenmore Progressive 35922 is said to perform very well on both carpeting and bare floors, with useful tools (including a dusting brush/upholstery tool) and good emissions. Owners especially like this vacuum's ability to pick up pet hair. This is a bagging vacuum cleaner.

What the reviewers don't like:
At 21 pounds, the Kenmore Progressive bagging vacuum cleaner is relatively heavy and bulky, and it can be hard to carry up and down stairs. Also, it lacks self-propulsion and a retractable cord.

Reviewers say the Kenmore Progressive 35922 has handy tools and excels at cleaning both carpeting and hard floors. Low emissions are another plus. However, some owners balk at this vacuum's relatively heavy weight (21 pounds), which makes it hard to handle and carry up and down stairs, as well as criticize its lack of self-propulsion or a retractable cord.
