I bought this Kenmore model last Christmas and think it's great. It has some design elements that are highly usable, i.e. retractable cord, easy to take things apart, easy to remove/add the vacuum bag. Apparently all canister vac.s can have better suction and have better sound insulation than upright vacuums. It does great on hardwood floors using the 8 or 10" floor attachment that comes with it. 

There are 1 or 2 models *above* this in their line, but, if I recall, they just had some non-essential electronics--maybe a touch pad rather than an on/off switch--which seemed like they would break before the motor would.

I can't vouch for durability yet though.

Regards,
Scott

All:

I am looking for a canister vacuum to use on wood floors.

The selection of canister vacuums is not good these days and a regular vacuum does not get close to the corners so I have to vacuum the edges a second time with an attachment.

What I am looking for is powerful, small and does not break often. New or used is not an issue.  Sears had a canister vacuum that I thought fits the bill however reviews show the hose and all the attachments needing replaced in the first year.

A great used vacuum store was at the state fair grounds however they seem to have moved.

Any suggestions on a vacuum or a place to get a powerful small one ?

Thank you

Dave
