A demolition crew from Butcher & Son is methodically tearing down the building at 2140 13th St Nearly half of the structure is obliterated Workers have peeled away the front of the school revealing the interior like a giant dollhouse offices and black-and-red lockers teeter near the edge Light fixtures and ductwork dangle from ceilings These were the hallowed halls of education and athletics “I feel it’s a very tragic thing that they’re tearing down Kenmore High School,” said 1969 graduate David Bersnak vice president and co-founder of the Kenmore Historical Society “It was a very big part of the Akron community.” Famous Kenmore alumni include Mayor Don Plusquellic college football coach Gary Pinkel and rock singer Tim “Ripper” Owens “A lot of good things have come out of Kenmore,” Bersnak said The original building opened in 1916 when Kenmore was a separate community from Akron the Board of Education approved construction of a $1 million addition that included a double gymnasium A 1,000-seat auditorium was dedicated in 1956 the school board expanded the 5.3-acre property into a 10.5-acre site bounded by Battles Avenue The original section was razed to make way for a $10.5 million building that was completed in 1980 the students sang: “Oh Kenmore High forever The school’s demise began in 2002 with an $800 million state-funded program to renovate or reconstruct the district’s school buildings the Akron school board voted to merge Kenmore with Garfield High School after the 2016-2017 year The combined building initially was called Kenmore-Garfield High School The last classes were held in 2022 before 800 students transferred to a new building in Firestone Park The board shortened the school’s name to Garfield Community Learning Center ending more than a century of education under the Kenmore banner “I think the Akron Public Schools have made a big mistake in closing Kenmore,” Bersnak said “A lot of people don’t want to have to travel clear to Firestone Park to go to school.” The lack of a high school will have a detrimental impact on the neighborhood as families settle elsewhere He thinks the district will eventually regret closing Kenmore High “The building they tore down actually was in pretty good shape,” he said Sad to see it goKenmore native Mary Morlan sat in her car in the old parking lot and watched the demolition crew at work thinking back on all the days and all the fun we had in here,” she said She reminisced on the phone with her lifetime friend Marty Garbinsky They grew up on Oregon Avenue and attended 13 years of school together beginning in kindergarten they transferred to the vocational program at Garfield Garbinsky recalled the pep rallies in the Kenmore gymnasium “The school spirit was really high in those years,” she said a demolition worker pulled up in a small loader to dump a load of bricks in the parking lot for people to grab “I’m giving her one and I’m going to put one in my garden Although Bersnak wishes his alma mater could have been saved he realizes that there’s no use in complaining about it Kenmore natives have been commiserating on social media about the landmark’s demolition “My parents were the class of 1925 — one hundred years ago!” Betsy Bachtel wrote on Facebook my siblings and myself all went there,” Lisa Insana noted “Losing my childhood one piece at a time.” “Our parents attended KHS in the ’40s,” Bruce C.E “My sister Debby and I had some of the same teachers in the ’60s.” “There’s so much that’s going to die with that building!” Maryann Harris wrote “Seems like when they close a school they’re just itching for the next step — demolishing it Some of the best years of my teens was spent there (1962-1966).” “Well … they can’t tear down the great memories we shared there,” Bruce Young wrote “It’s absolutely insane how many schools have been removed from Kenmore in the last 15-20 years,” Cody Williams posted “It’s a shame they couldn’t use the building for something else.” “I was born in the house across the street from there “God love Kenmore,” Elaine Friend-Robertson wrote Mark J.

RE/MAX Profile Real Estate Owner Roxanne Workman joined Peter Fegan on 4BC Mornings to share how she has had to shut down her business in Kenmore because a brothel has opened next door and it is unsafe for her staff. Keeping her multi-pet home clean is one of her more acceptable obsessions a cordless stick vacuum could be your dream cleaning partner a cordless stick vacuum requires some compromises This nimble, high-tech model is light, powerful, and easy to maneuver. But it doesn’t stand up on its own, and the dustbin is tiny. This model performs about as well as the Dyson V12, and it comes with a station that automatically empties the dustbin when the vacuum is docked. It struggles with fur, though. This model is not as nimble as our top picks, but it’s an excellent cleaner, it has a large dustbin, and it comes with several useful tools. This sturdy, versatile vacuum has excellent suction power, and it comes with several ingenious attachments. It stands on its own and recharges quickly, but it’s heavier and less agile than our other picks. Hands-on testingWe’ve tested hundreds of vacuums over more than a decade, most recently evaluating 34 cordless stick models priced from $100 to $1,000. Cleaning abilityWe measured how much baking soda, cereal, birdseed, glitter, and hair each vac pulled from four types of rugs and bare floors. Warranty and repairsWe looked for cordless stick vacuums with at least a two-year warranty, as well as a replaceable battery—a major plus. ConvenienceFor each vacuum, we noted how easy and comfortable it was to maneuver, and we looked at whether the attachments fit their purpose. It’s light and nimble around furniture and on stairs In suction, airflow, and cleaning power, the V12 Detect Slim rivals more-expensive vacuums (such as the Dyson V15) And the V12 comes with multiple brushes and attachments It runs for 45 minutes on a single charge—longer than most of the other vacuums we’ve tested This stick vacuum has high-tech features that make it almost fun to use; they include a sensor that automatically adjusts suction a laser headlight that illuminates dust in dim corners and an LCD screen with a battery countdown and other information This stick vac is also one of the quietest models we’ve tested You also have to swap between two different brushes depending on whether you use the vacuum on carpet or the bare floor It takes the V12 four hours to recharge—longer than it takes most other models—and it doesn’t stand up on its own Dyson covers the V12 with a two-year warranty This model performs about as well as the Dyson V12 and it comes with a station that automatically empties the dustbin when the vacuum is docked this model excelled at picking up Cheerios Its dual-brush cleaner head effectively handles debris on hard floors and carpets including an auto-detect feature that adjusts power for carpets and a versatile wand with an adjustable angle makes it easier to clean under furniture The Shark PowerDetect struggles with pet fur and it’s notably louder than our other picks but the self-emptying dock (available as an add-on) can alleviate that by automatically sucking debris into a larger canister The Shark PowerDetect comes with a five-year warranty—the longest one among our picks This model is not as nimble as our top picks (It even outperformed a pricier Tineco model we tried.) This vacuum includes a single cleaner head so it eliminates the hassle of having to switch heads when you’re transitioning from bare floors to rugs and wall-to-wall carpeting the Tineco Pro Pet seizes on certain lightweight rugs the GO Pet is designed with bulky fur in mind It quickly transforms into a handheld vacuum for dusting and getting crumbs off of above-floor surfaces The GO Pet has a decent runtime of 38 minutes maneuvering smoothly around chairs and tables and its dustbin can be annoying to reassemble and the battery is replaceable (but finding one is a hassle.) versatile vacuum has excellent suction power and it comes with several ingenious attachments It stands on its own and recharges quickly but it’s heavier and less agile than our other picks so it’s a great choice both for homes and for garages this model readily picked up debris particles of different sizes and weights on all types of floors—it even rivaled the Dyson V12 in our sand-pickup tests 33-ounce dustbin won’t quickly fill up with debris or fur so this vac is ideal for people with pets and workshops Its motorized cleaner head works on bare floors and on carpet (you don’t have to swap brushes And it comes with a variety of useful attachments including an excellent motorized brush tool and a surprisingly useful micro crevice tool But this model is heavy and less agile than our other picks The vacuum stands upright on its own and runs for up to 32 minutes. The battery charges in two hours (one of the fastest charge times we saw in our tests). And the battery is widely available and compatible with various Ryobi machines, so it’s a good choice if you already own One+ Ryobi tools shape-shifting creatures that can change configurations with the help of useful attachments Most cordless vacs are lithe and comfortable to handle And because cordless vacuums are compact and often packaged with either a wall-mountable charging dock or a floor stand they are often stored within arm’s reach and in plain sight But even the priciest cordless stick vacuums can’t match the suction and deep-cleaning power of a good upright or canister vacuum especially if you have wall-to-wall carpeting Their batteries typically last 30 to 40 minutes on a full charge; this is enough time to clean a room or two but it’s unlikely long enough to tackle your home from top to bottom Cordless stick vacuums also have a shorter life expectancy than good plug-in vacuums a cordless stick vac should be a sidekick to a plug-in vacuum the penny would still be there because there’s no air moving down the tube to take it to where it needs to go But you can still feel the pressure of it pulling your hand to the nozzle.” We paid special attention to each vacuum’s cleaner head and we ruled out models that didn’t come with a motorized brush roll because suction and airflow alone can’t remove dirt which is what the brushes do,” Brown explained “They vibrate and sweep the carpet and dislodge the dirt The airflow takes it away.” We also preferred models with an easy-to-remove brush roll so we could detangle and clean it without using special tools We then tried each vacuum on different types of rugs and on bare floors strewn with Cheerios We looked for models that didn’t snowplow (when a vacuum’s low-riding cleaner head pushes around heavier debris instead of sucking it up) dump (when debris falls back out of a vacuum that’s turned off) or jam (when the motorized brush seizes on certain types of rugs and rug pads) We also checked each model’s anti-tangling technology by vacuuming up colorful hair extensions We then ran the top performers in a multi-person to see how they handled a variety of surfaces and messes (cat and bunny litter included) Several company spokespeople told us that a cordless stick vacuum’s advertised run time is typically measured on its low power setting in handheld mode That number rarely holds up in real life: Running a cordless stick vac’s motorized brush on bare floors and rugs draws more power and depletes the battery faster We considered anything over 30 minutes to be an acceptable real-life run time We looked for batteries that charged within four hours or less And we considered it a plus if a vacuum’s run time exceeded 30 minutes and its battery could work in a variety of tools from the same company In addition to occasionally suffering from battery failure cordless stick vacs are prone to the same clogs and other mechanical failures as plug-in machines We called customer service for each of our top performers so we could experience the process and determine how easy it was to order new parts We favored models with a warranty of more than two years agreed that a long warranty is meaningful when you’re making a buying decision: “[It] gives you confidence that a company is standing behind their product.” Weighing just over 5 pounds (4 pounds in hand) the V12 Detect Slim maneuvers easily in awkward spaces and on stairs yet we found that this model was the most comfortable for our hands and wrists who has used this model for several months did note that the V12 Detect Slim gave them a blister after a prolonged cleaning session however.) Its cleaner head swivels 180 degrees and between furniture better than other models we’ve tested whereas previous Dyson models had an uncomfortable trigger-style switch that you had to squeeze to get the vacuum to operate The V12 Detect Slim offers powerful suction and airflow and it excels at picking up dust and debris on both bare floors and rugs it devoured almost 100% of the baking soda we’d spread out on medium-pile rugs—a clear sign that the V12 is capable of targeting deeper-dwelling dust and dander (One competitor picked up just a little over 40% of it.) It also effectively extracted fur from rugs The V12 Detect Slim has three suction modes: eco (lower suction The auto mode is particularly helpful because the dust sensor detects dirt and triggers increased suction power when necessary the V12 Detect Slim regularly went into boost mode near a cat’s litter box it pulled a significant amount of red carpet fibers out of a vintage Persian rug.) we found that the Laser Slim Fluffy head picked up larger debris which the Motorbar head tended to snowplow The Laser Slim Fluffy head swallowed everything we presented it with aside from a large mound of Cheerios (which it choked on) and a huge cockroach (which got stuck in the brush housing) It converts into a handheld vacuum with useful attachments The V12 Detect Slim easily converts into a handheld vacuum and it comes with helpful attachments for tasks around the home and in the car Its mini motorized brush tool was one of the best we tested for removing pet hair from couches Its combination tool allowed us to quickly switch between a wide nozzle and a brush; we found the brush particularly handy for dusting bookshelves and windowsills We don’t know how accurate or useful the particle counter is Like those of many other powerful stick vacuums the V12’s brush roll tends to seize on lightweight rugs Dyson is a reliable company with a well-earned and particularly devoted following If the Dyson V12 Detect Slim isn’t for you the Dyson line includes other options (though they come with triggers) and it’s a great cleaner that is equipped with a couple of meaningful upgrades and a (relatively) large dustbin (it’s twice the size of the V12’s dustbin) But the Gen5detect is heavier than the V12 and it’s less convenient to maneuver and store Even though the V15 Detect’s motor has more muscle this model did not clean significantly better than the V12 Detect Slim Its bin capacity is somewhere between that of the other two models which automatically sucks debris into a larger canister after a cleaning session; this eliminates the hassle of having to frequently open and empty the dustbin (and it cuts down on your exposure to the resulting dust plumes) It’s an excellent cleaner, with well-designed brushes. In our tests, the Shark PowerDetect cleaned just as well as the Dyson V12 and the Tineco GO Pet Its single cleaner head houses a velvety front brush (which grabs dust on hardwood floors The brushes are designed to pick up debris in both forward and reverse motion, making cleanup particularly fast and efficient. (Be aware, though, that the powerful brush roller should not be used on delicate vintage or antique rugs because it’s prone to pulling out fibers along with dust and debris.) the Shark ran for about 58 minutes in eco mode on a single charge—the longest of our picks (Shark claims the vacuum runs for up to 70 minutes It’s relatively lightweight. The Shark PowerDetect is not quite as lightweight as the Dyson V12, but it weighs significantly less than the Ryobi 18V One+ HP Advanced Stick Vacuum Kit which amps up power when the machine detects carpet and debris The LED screen also monitors charging levels The wand has a convenient trigger on the handle for switching modes along with an adjustable angle for tackling hard-to-reach spots Simply press the latch on the back to fold the wand into a right angle This feature proved especially useful when we vacuumed beneath the vanity in a narrow bathroom but it has been out of stock often in the past.) The Shark’s five-year warranty is the longest of our picks This model has the option of including a large the dock’s debris container has to be emptied only once every other week to once a month (depending on the size of your home) you’ll likely have to empty the small dustbin (24 ounces) on the stick vac mid-cleaning it’s a capable cleaner with a generous dustbin and useful tools If you have only about $200 to spend on a cordless stick vacuum It’s a great cleaner. The Tineco GO Pet handled all types of debris, including sand, as efficiently as the Dyson V12 The GO Pet comes with just one cleaner head, with both soft and hard bristles, and it’s suitable for all kinds of floors. In our tests, its brush roll grabbed dust, Cheerios, and birdseed in one or two passes without snowplowing or dumping You don’t need tools to remove the brush roll for maintenance since it can easily be pulled out by twisting the corresponding wheel on the side But this vacuum struggles on lightweight rugs While the machine did well on bare floors and carpets we noticed that the GO Pet’s brush roll seized on certain lighter rugs The Tineco GO Pet comes with three useful attachments: a crevice tool; a 2-in-1 dusting brush for crumbs on couches and countertops; and a mini power brush for fur pickup on grippy surfaces (a rare tool for stick vacs in this price range) We tried the power brush on a velvet couch in a four-pet household and it removed fur without much effort; a Wirecutter staffer who has used the Tineco GO for several months and it’s nearly triple the size of the Dyson V12’s The GO Pet’s dustbin can be emptied with a lever without having to detach it from the main body But we recommend taking it off to empty it (Make sure to do a little wiggle test once you put it back on It’s midweight and convenient to use, but it’s also a bit noisy. Weighing 6.8 pounds (4 pounds in hand), the Tineco GO Pet is lighter and easier to maneuver on stairs than our Ryobi pick. It navigates well around furniture, though it’s not nearly as nimble as the Dyson V12 this model is significantly louder than our other picks This model has a two-year warranty (now mostly standard for cordless vacuum cleaners) Although Tineco claims the GO Pet runs up to 60 minutes we got barely 40 minutes out of it on low mode (with the cleaner head attached) The GO Pet’s battery is technically replaceable a representative requested our mailing address just to check the company’s inventory they promised to send a specific ordering link—a process far more cumbersome than simply ordering a Ryobi or Dyson replacement battery online It’s a great cleaner. In suction and airflow, this Ryobi stick vacuum performs almost as well as its most powerful competitors. We tried it on rugs, bare floors, car seats, and upholstery, and it did an excellent job of picking up all kinds of debris. In our sand-on-carpet cleaning test, this model didn’t extract as much as the Dyson V12 Detect Slim but it still performed better than most of its competitors in the price range The Ryobi 18V One+ HP vac has three cleaning modes We found that the medium mode worked fine for most surfaces and dirt But the boost mode comes in handy when you’re confronted with stubborn Its all-in-one cleaner head is effective on a variety of surfaces this Ryobi model comes with one cleaner head with a plush roll in the front (for bare floors) and a brush roll with stiff bristles and rubber fins in the back (The latter roll excels at removing fur and other grippy debris from carpets and rugs.) The single cleaner head has a white headlight that doesn’t detect dust quite as efficiently as the headlight on the V12 the Ryobi was equally effective at picking up Cheerios on slippery tiles and pet fur on a medium-pile rug Despite the cleaner head’s depth—about double that of the V12 Detect Slim’s Motorbar—it swivels smoothly around corners and furniture The Ryobi 18V One+ HP vacuum’s dustbin holds 33 ounces—nearly three times the capacity of the V12 Detect Slim’s bin and reports that she can go through a week of light vacuuming without needing to empty it This model runs for about 32 minutes in eco (low) mode which is enough time to vacuum a small or medium-size apartment and for a quick workshop cleanup Its battery recharges in under two hours—faster than the battery on any other vacuum we tested in our latest round And the Ryobi battery has a helpful charge-level indicator light this vacuum measured around 71 dB when run on eco mode so it’s a smidge quieter than even the Dyson V12 The Ryobi 18V One+ HP vacuum isn’t quite as clumsy as it looks so this vac is the heaviest among our picks The weighty battery sits behind the handle with the motor directly below—this design can make it uncomfortable to use and we found ourselves switching hands frequently while vacuuming you don’t have to scramble to find a place to prop it up The Ryobi easily transforms into a handheld vacuum and its attachments are versatile and better designed than those of other models we’ve tested the crevice tool and pivoting brush worked great in a car’s tight storage compartments And the motorized mini brush was one of the few tested tools that made a dent in the thick layer of fur on a car’s clingy trunk upholstery This Ryobi vacuum also includes a micro crevice tool flexible straws; we found this tool ideal for cleaning the interior of a dusty sewing machine and a dryer vent Ryobi has a history of availability issues. Ryobi products are sold exclusively through Home Depot and Ryobi’s website The previous Ryobi cordless stick model we recommended went out of stock at times We haven’t seen stock issues with our current pick Ordering replacement parts is confusing. Ryobi’s replacement-parts ordering portal isn’t directly linked on Ryobi’s homepage It took multiple calls and an email to the marketing department to find the part we were looking for which the company claims has a near hour-long runtime and a roller brush that automatically adjusts to different floor types but we found it expensive ($600 at the time of writing) for what it had to offer the Dreame Z10 frequently dumped cereals out of the cleaner head when it was put back on station The dust bag in its self-emptying station is tiny And the cleaner head felt scratchy on hardwood floors we found the Pure One Station 5 disappointing for the price and it dumped them back out when we turned it off (a problem that most other stick-vac manufacturers have solved at this point) It’s virtually impossible to take its self-emptying dock apart But its middling cleaning performance makes it an okay small-mess vacuum at best vacuum-only cousin—this model has a trigger instead of a button Its mopping performance pales in comparison to that of an old-fashioned mop and its five separate parts need to be painstakingly disassembled to be cleaned which allowed heavier debris to drop back out when we shut it off Tineco’s product team told us they were working to improve the issue and it was also a worse cleaner than our picks but they were incapable of sucking up and holding in debris effectively and in our testing it failed to extract all of the debris from the vacuum’s teeny dustbin Emptying the dustbin manually was awkward and easily led to spills It can work in three configurations: as a handheld vacuum cleaner with the bin and motor (the heaviest part) below the handle or with the bin and motor directly above the cleaner head (We found the last configuration to be the best.) But it’s expensive its cleaner head jammed easily on certain rug and rug-pad combinations and we found opening the dustbin to be a hassle its 25-minute real-life run time and two-year warranty are disappointing But here are six ways to keep your stick vacuum clean and maintained: (Check the manufacturer’s guide for specific instructions on cleaning the filter.) “Remember that the motor is trying to draw air to breathe through the filter,” Gasko said An overstuffed bin inhibits airflow and suction and clean the whole bowl (consult the manual first) Anything oversize or slightly sticky runs the risk of gumming up the works If any part of the vacuum cleaner is clogged up Tangled-up brushes affect cleaning performance “A brush clogged with hair means the motor is going to draw a lot more juice out of the battery and really reduce the amount of time that you can get out of the vacuum,” Gasko explained Don’t run your vacuum on high for more than a minute or two. Keep it on low or an “eco” setting as much as possible, and save the high-power or “boost” mode for spot cleaning. Running your vacuum on the high setting for long periods can damage the battery, said James Brown, service specialist and museum curator at Mr. Vacuum Cleaner Keeping the battery in the charging dock can shorten its lifespan Make sure that the charging contacts are clean and that the power adapter is in working order This guide was edited by Ingrid Skjong and Courtney Schley engineer at Ember and former engineer at Dyson and Shark vacuum-cleaner collector and repair specialist and owner of Mid Missouri Vacuum James Brown, service specialist and museum curator at Mr. Vacuum Cleaner I was a senior staff writer on Wirecutter’s home appliance team where I covered all kinds of vacuum cleaners I also ventured into the wild world of bunny care two-rabbit home clean is one of my more acceptable obsessions We think the Miele Classic C1 Pure Suction does an excellent job These are 100(ish) of our favorite Wirecutter picks to help you tackle a deep clean of your home The current robot vacuum-mop combos are too fickle Wirecutter is the product recommendation service from The New York Times Our journalists combine independent research with (occasionally) over-the-top testing so you can make quick and confident buying decisions Whether it’s finding great products or discovering helpful advice we’ll help you get it right (the first time) This is probably not the page you’re looking for Emergency crews worked to free the driver of a car and the car itself after it crashed into the roof of a Kenmore home on Tuesday afternoon Please call us on 1800 070 535 and we’ll help resolve the issue or try again later Any Questions?

The daily flights depart Tacoma at 2:45 p.m. and the total flight time lasts just under two hours Eley talked a bit about the significance of Kenmore Air's partnership with the Puyallup Tribe It was formed as the tribe sought ways to expand and diversify its portfolio while offering new and exciting things to do in the region "Kenmore saw this as a good opportunity to expand their current flights to the South Puget Sound," he says "Both of our values aligned around this opportunity new rubber dock fendering systems evolved out of the partnership as the tribe built the Ruston dock in 2023 they didn't want to use rubber tires as fenders which had been used by Kenmore since the 1950s but also was known to release 6PPD pollutants "We found a D-Fender product that was environmentally-friendly to install on our Ruston Way dock," he says "After testing out the D-Fender system Kenmore realized this product was superior and safer on the environment than old tires so they have started replacing tires with the D-Fender system on other docks in their operations which will help protect sea life populations in critical salmon migratory waterways This partnership has been a win-win for Puyallup Tribe Gudgel calls the partnership with the Puyallup Tribe an incredible honor It began in May 2022 with mutual interest in expanding access to the South Sound while being rooted in respect for the land and its original stewards we launched our popular 25-minute South Sound Scenic flight as our initial service offering that was well received by South Sound locals," he shares we're building something unique and community-focused." they launched their direct-schedule seaplane service between Tacoma and San Juan Island with service to Friday Harbor Marina and Roche Harbor "Connecting seaplane service to Victoria was part of the longer-range shared vision for 2025 once we had the infrastructure in place for customs processing," says Gudgel "Flying between Tacoma and Victoria in just under two hours (versus a minimum of four with a drive/ferry) offers travelers a fast unique scenic experience and connects two historic waterfronts." Chief Executive Officer of Puyallup Tribal Enterprises says The Tribe is already well-known regionally "The new route opens up the world," he says Gudgel recommends a few can't-miss stops in each destination we dock steps from a handful of top-notch hotels with stunning waterfront and Inner Harbour views," he says "Afternoon tea at the Fairmont Empress and a visit out to the Butchart Gardens are iconic but also don't miss exploring Chinatown shopping boutiques along Johnson and Fort Street and taking a stroll on the Breakwater." Then in Tacoma he suggests folks check out the revamped Emerald Queen Casino stroll Point Ruston and "hop a scenic flight tour to take in the area from above and waterfront patio dining at Woven—located right next to our terminal and also owned by The Puyallup Tribe." they plan to gradually expand to keep up with demand and have a few exciting ideas for the years to come "Our sights are currently set on how we can work together to activate the South Sound and tribal cultural events for FIFA 2026," Gudgel promises The sky's the limit with this partnership Corinne Whiting is a freelance writer for Seattle Refined.

The budget-friendly Kenmore 22614 includes a manual carpet pile height adjustment One caveat: Handling this vacuum’s 23 pounds takes some muscle Kenmore canister vacuums earn midrange scores for predicted reliability and owner satisfaction If you’re looking for a canister that will do well on both carpets and bare floors, consider the Kenmore 500 Series DC5070 The vacuum aced our bare floor cleaning tests and notched a very good score for carpet cleaning as well We like that there’s a handle on the side of the vacuum that makes it easier to carry and maneuver One of our favorite features of this model is the hair eliminator nozzle which has ridges that help loosen and remove tangled hair The Miele Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog is on the pricey side but it’s one of the best bagless canisters you can buy It’s a top-grade performer in our bare-floor and pet-hair tests but it’s not as great when it comes to cleaning carpets This vacuum also performs well in our clean emissions tests meaning it doesn’t release debris back into the air of the room you just cleaned it’s one of the most lightweight bagless canisters in our ratings This Miele Boost CX1 SNRF0 is a bagless canister that doesn’t have a rotating brush roll in the powerhead which prevents it from scoring higher on carpet cleaning than it does It performs extremely well when cleaning bare floors and pet hair—plus it’s especially quiet and performs very well in our clean emissions testing Our testers liked how easy it was to remove and empty the bin The accessories can be stored in the vacuum which is perfect if you live in a compact space How CR Tests Canister VacuumsCR tests canister vacuums across a variety of surfaces and challenges them to pick up pet hair and other debris We also measure airflow through the hose and the vacuums’ emissions—that is, how much dust and debris they spew into the air. To see how much debris a model emits, our testers stuff wood flour into each one and measure the amount of particles released into the air using a laser spectrometer. For more on our vacuum testing, see How We Test Vacuums The Overall Score for each model incorporates results from all our tests, as well as brand reliability and owner satisfaction scores based on CR members’ experiences with 109,486 vacuums they purchased from 2014 to 2024.

But the project has been criticised in some quarters which accused the developer of planning a gated community for the super-rich and turning Kenmore into a “ghost town” The SURF Awards judges note Kenmore had fallen into “steep decline” in the years prior to the Taymouth Castle takeover But they applaud Kenmore Community Council for its success at building partnerships with Taymouth Castle Estate as well as with Perth and Kinross Council and other local organisations and businesses This has led to the reopening of the public toilets and new street lighting and picnic benches Other highlights include the refurbishment of Kenmore village shop and a programme of community events including the recent Christmas lights-switch on Jon Iddon is one of the many locals who have contributed to Kenmore’s success He’s an active member of the community council He also chairs the Breadalbane Reading Room committee and is a prime mover in many of its activities These include the weekly Warm Welcome sessions a monthly quiz night (with Jon as quizmaster) and Wednesday music nights which regularly see the Reading Room packed to the rafters with musicians He’s working with the local primary school on a new Capercaille Trail there’s the small matter of the Easter fun day – being held in partnership with the nearby Crannog Centre – and VE Day commemorations And while the controversy over the Taymouth Castle campaign could have caused divisions here it seems to have brought people closer together “More people are coming out to events,” said Jon “It’s really heartening after everything that was going on last summer and autumn there’s a real spring in the step of the village.” Kenmore’s population has also swelled with the arrival of Taymouth Castle Estate workers and their families who are now living permanently in former holiday homes increased community participation and renewed prosperity for this small rural community” Colin Morton attended the awards in Glasgow on behalf of Kenmore Community Council. He said it was heartening for the village after too long in the spotlight for the wrong reasons “The judges were really impressed with the partnerships we’ve forged with Taymouth Castle and others,” he said “We’ve been told for the last two years that we’re a ‘ghost town’ But that’s not been the reality.” A Taymouth Castle spokesperson said: “The team at Taymouth has worked in partnership with the Kenmore community over the last number of years to support initiatives that make Kenmore a great place to live “The SURF Awards show what can be achieved by collaborative working and we are excited to see how the area continues to flourish.” Much of the criticism of the Taymouth Castle estate was steered by the Protect Loch Tay protest group Its online petition – raising fears of “an influx of American millionaires and their speed boats destroying our peaceful loch” – attracted more than 160,000 signatures However, the group announced it was giving up the fight last month Many locals have said all along that they welcome the development The project – Discovery Land Company’s first in the UK – is due for completion by the end of 2029 and is expected to provide around 250 full-time jobs The Taymouth Castle Estate has also purchased a number of properties around Kenmore The village shop opened in the summer and the Kenmore Hotel is due to re-open to the public in 2026 Analysts have forecast the development could boost the Perth and Kinross economy by £390m in its first 25 years The SURF Awards are organised by Scotland’s Regeneration Forum. Kenmore Air and the Puyallup Tribe are expanding their seasonal seaplane flight service that runs from May 15 through September 15 Kenmore Air began flying local scenic flights in a 1955 de Havilland DHC-3 Turbine Otter from Tacoma’s Ruston Way in Pierce County The seaplane base is located on tribal land Operations at the South Sound base later expanded to seasonal travel to the San Juan Islands north of Seattle the new daily flight will take travelers to British Columbia The aircraft will depart Tacoma at 2:45 p.m PDT and head to Friday Harbor for a short stopover The entire journey will take approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes and prices start at $199 per person one way “We are thrilled to expand our partnership with the Puyallup Tribe offering an exciting new route for travelers looking for a quick and scenic escape to Victoria,” David Gudgel “This partnership continues to demonstrate our commitment to providing South Sound residents with the fastest and most beautiful way to travel to Victoria—all without the long drives or ferry rides typically associated with such a journey which can consume a good portion of vacation time.” May 15 also marks the return of Kenmore Air’s seasonal seaplane service between Tacoma and the San Juan Islands For the people who would like a shorter scenic flight those also launch from the Tacoma location The aircraft sport a Native American inspired livery to honor the sovereign nation of more than 5,000 members The tribe name is pronounced “pew-AWL-up,” and means “generous people” or “welcoming people.” The tribe is the largest employer in Pierce County.  The partnership with Kenmore is another success for the Tribe’s economic development wing CEO of Puyallup Tribal Enterprises and tribal financial officer “Kenmore has been a terrific partner from the start,” Wadhwani said The Tacoma Ruston Way Terminal is located next to the tribe-owned Woven restaurant. The eatery opened last summer and offers outdoor dining. Ruston Way also features a 2.5-mile walking path along the waterfront with historical markers and sculptures. Kenmore Air was founded in the Puget Sound in 1946 and is the largest seaplane airline in the U.S., flying more than 90,000 passengers annually in de Havilland Beaver and Otter aircraft.

Lois Fraser wants children like her granddaughter to have access to fresh fruit and vegetables It was an important consideration for Ms Fraser who wanted to teach the next generation how to make healthy food choices Ms Tegen said the exercise and a sense of achievement from maintaining the orchard could also improve the community's health She said the community's desire to maintain the orchard was an opportunity for the health and agriculture departments to collaborate and to improve education and employment outcomes shares her vision for a thriving orchard to increase food security for the remote community It's an issue close to Mr Fraser's heart as he can still feel a pang of hunger from his childhood at the nearby Pukatja or Ernabella mission "We always wanted to live off the land … because we were so far away from everywhere else Mr Fraser also remembers the orchard flourishing about a decade ago during its prime non-Aboriginal people and Aboriginal people to come and pick what they wanted because it became too much food," he said The orchard was established and maintained for a number of years by a retired couple from Clare, but as the pair became older and their health declined, they moved back south and the orchard fell into disrepair. Brenton and Margaret Pope used to run the orchard at Kenmore Park. (ABC Alice Springs: Caddie Brain) Kenmore Park has about 20 residents, but none of them care for the orchard consistently. Ms Fraser said Central Land Council staff from Alice Springs visited the community to investigate fixing irrigation lines in the orchard, but residents needed more support. "[We need to] look at getting funding for them to work on the garden every day to get it up and running again," she said. "And maybe getting a mentor … so they will be well trained to look after the orchard properly." The neglected Kenmore Park orchard has fallen into disrepair. (ABC Rural: Victoria Ellis) Central Land Council general manager Mischa Cartwright said traditional owners of the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park had used some of their rent income from the park to investigate the feasibility of restoring the orchard. "We're working with the community and an Alice-Springs-based landscaping company to scope the project, and have supported the community with project planning and administration as well as meeting facilitation," she said. "If the project turns out to be feasible, we'll plan a sustainable orchard with the community and our project partner."
