Mine started to die just after the 1-year warranty ran out. I will never buy a Kenmore vacuum again. I'll spring for a Miele, which has a 10 year warranty.

I went for the Kenmore because it had an awesome powered (electric not air like most) hand brush that was great for vacuuming up pet hair on my sofa. If you go with Kenmore definitely buy the extended warranty.
