Kenmore has some really good vacs for the money, consumers reports rated them really high. look for 12 amps with easy hose disconnects and attachments for edging and cob web plus you may be doing the car also.
Consumer Reports is O.K. But you need to determine what kind of vacuum cleaner you want. Canister or upright, bag or bag-less, you know what you need. Don't spend a lot of money. Most units are made so cheaply they may be considered disposable.
its not the brand, its how it works and will it keep on working , DYSON DYSON DYSON this guy spent 15 years make sure it did just that , who are we to questions his dedication? i hope i helped , ive used every other one ,and they looked good, but were crap lol
