The Kenmore Progressive 116 was purchased for $7 at a Savers thrift store because it resembled a childhood model. The vacuum, though decades old, offers impressive suction that removes crumbs and stubborn pet hair and includes attachments like a brush, crevice cleaner, and hard-floor tool. The vacuum cleans rugs, tile, upholstery, and cobwebbed corners, and is used between robovac cycles to pick up debris the robovac misses. Drawbacks include yellowed plastic, substantial weight, and occasional difficulty maneuvering and handling the power cord and plug.
Emma Roth is a news writer here at The Verge, "and for me," she explains, "that means every day is different. During the four years I've been here, I've covered breaking news and written about basically everything in the realm of tech, whether it's streaming price hikes, the latest in AI chatbots, privacy issues surrounding age verification, and a whole lot more."
I purchased this Kenmore Progressive 116 vacuum for just $7 while browsing my local Savers thrift store several years ago. I was in need of a vacuum, and it instantly caught my eye because my parents used to have one just like it. I have fond childhood memories of going to Sears to pick up new vacuum bags. Despite being around a couple of decades old, this thing works just as well as any new vacuum.
