Kenmore Progressive 36932 Review

What the reviewers like:
In tests, the bagless Kenmore Progressive 36932 performs as well or better than Dyson bagless vacuums on carpets, bare floors and pet-hair-covered rugs. Reviewers also like this vacuum's tools, especially its rotating brushroll, which helps move it across the floor.

What the reviewers don't like:
At 20 pounds, the Kenmore Progressive 36932 bagless upright vacuum is relatively heavy, which can make it difficult to push or carry up stairs. Also, unlike other upright vacuums, this isn't a truly self-propelled vacuum, and it has a relatively high price tag.
