Kenmore Progressive Glide Vacuum Cleaner Review

Overall Verdict

The Kenmore Progressive Glide should be on any bargain hunter's list at $99 MSRP given its performance and lightweight design. The vacuum also includes users control settings that adjust the vacuum's powerbrush height based on the length of carpet. It was strong in most of our lab tests as well, only struggling on high carpet dirt pickup while excelling on hardwood and short carpet.

The Kenmore Progressive Glide isn't without its flaws, though. It is a bag vacuum that makes it extremely difficult for the user to remove the bag without ripping it. It also doesn't balance well while left unattended and often falls down without being touched, which can be an annoyance. Despite some of its inadequacies, the Kenmore Progressive Glide is an excellent buy for customers not willing to pay $300-400 for a vacuum and who have wall-to-wall carpeting.
