YES Anna the Kenmore Progressives are AWESOME.
I am so glad you had a good experience at Sears!
I would also advice (this sounds odd I know but I would do it if I had a dog like a St. Bernard in the house) Collect some dog hair and take it to the store and lay it on their patch of carpet. Step on it, ground it in, then sweep it up. I had a customer bring in a bag of cat litter and we threw it all over the floor and tried and tried different sweepers until we found one that swept it up the best.
On a side note, the only reason I am gonna say this is b/c I worked straight commission for more than a year and it is very hard work. If you go to Sears, or somewhere like that, and the sales person gives you a business card, please please please honor it. If you go back another day to buy it then take the card with you and give it to the sales associate. Usually they are permitted to ring the sale in the other person's number. I had more trouble with stuff like that in the time I worked at Sears. I wouldn't know that someone else talked with a co-worker and they would walk in and say "I want that" and I would ring it up to find out that it was another person's sale. Round and Round we would go.
I even had people try to barter with me for sales and Sears just isn't that type of a company I would always think "You wanna make a deal, go to a garage sale or pawn shop!" This one guy whined about it so much that I finally said "You know that sale price is so cheap now that you are taking food off my table and food outta my dogs mouth" He said "Oh you get a base rate plus commission" and I said "No sir I do not, if I don't sell anything today I am paying my employer for me to be here, they will pay me x amount for showing up today but when I make that on my next check, they take it right back out, its called the draw system. And when things are on sale, I lose money"
AND YOU CAN ASK ANYONE THAT KNOWS ME, I LOVE A GOOD SALE!!!!
Just some tidbits of info that might be helpful!!!
