Sears Kenmore vacuum model 2441 two speed with Magicord

This is a late 60's or early 70's two speed Kenmore canister vacuum I found at a local thrift store. It's in surprisingly excellent condition for its age. The hose has no rips or tears which is a problem that plagued the next generation of 70's & 80's Kenmores. The power cord is noticably thicker and more durable than all later models as well.

wish i could find a thrift store to find a vac like that. no thrift stores around here. just bought POS magic blue from sears.

I spend a lot of time going thru thrift stores almost everyday but it's rare that they have anything good, just that I"m always there for the times they do.

I got that same exact vacuum(it's blue in color) from my grandpa today and it still works really good and he said that he's only used it like maybe 5 times since 1985. It's the only vacuum that I have right now and I was wanting to know if I can still buy bags for it or not and where I could get any?

@pkguy3 Exactly, the secret to getting a good find is a lot of looking. You have to go regularly. I've managed to get some good stuff this way.

I think I have the lower end model to this, because it is the same colors, but a bit smaller and no power nozzle.

very cool kenmore vac...

I have that same power nozzle rigged to an early 80's (wood styled) Kenmore box. Not sure how we ended up with it, I never found the matching canister. I use it in the basement. It has picked up coal ash, hay, mud, snow, cat litter. It takes outright abuse and won't die.

thats probably from 1974. my grandpa had one but i threw it out.... 30 years of constant home remodeling kinda ruined it..
