Sale!
Fact:
In order to offer the Kenmore Progressive vacuum “on sale” 365 days a year, Sears manufactures two exact replicas of each make and model of their Kenmore line. The sale then alternates between the two models, legalizing the use of the word “sale price”. The only difference in the two models? One has a two-foot longer cord than the other.
Seriously.
Don’t blame Sears for this ridiculous practice, we, as consumers, have dictated the need for everything to appear to be “on sale” before we are willing to purchase it. They have just catered to that demand.
P.S. I will let you know how I feel about the new vacuum purchase shortly. The change of command ceremony that will officially retire the old Hoover will be held this afternoon.
