Title: A great vacuum
Review: I went to Wirecutter in New York Times for recommendations on a new upright vacuum. The reviewers were less than over the moon about any vacuum, especially in my price range. ($600 for a vacuum is not an option for me). I had bought a Kenmore canister vacuum in 1981, because it had 4.1 horsepower engine. I had never before purchased a Kenmore product. The thing is I still have that Kenmore cannister vacuum. It’s a workhorse. So I thought: “Do they still make Kenmore vacuums?” “Do they make uprights?” They were not included in the Wirecutter review. Well let me say this: they should have been!This is a wonderful vacuum. Great power and suction. . Fantastic maneuverability. Easy to use and handle. It can go from rug to floor and back again with a push button. Bags are included and easy to install. Lots of attachments. Cleaning wand is easily accessible. Perfect cord length. Fits in my linen closet. Very affordable.Will it last 43 years like my other Kenmore? I don’t see why not. (Though I probably won’t!) in the

Title: Great Vacuum!
Review: I am kind of a vacuum snob; and have used the best in my lifetime of cleaning: Miele, Rainbow, Dyson, Shark, Hoover, etc. and I have also used the worst when I was a poor student. I have also used all kinds: cannister, upright, handheld, and even those old kind of inflatable bag vacuums that my Grannie had. You really have to get a vacuum based upon how you are going to use it and what you clean most. I bought this for my Dad's condo that has a bit of tile but is mostly a long shag type carpet throughout. He also had a short hair dog that shed more than any dog I have ever seen AND the town he lives in is famous for its winds and white powdery dust that coats everything. Given this, a bagless cannister just couldn't handle the fur and dust. I went with this vacuum based upon reviews and the fact that it was going to need to be able to suck up both fur and dust, which is a bagless type vacuum like Dyson's worst enemy when it comes to plugging up the filters and seriously decreasing suction. My poor Dad had bought a cheap little Hoover upright before this that would plug up within 5 minutes of use, and then start spitting out the dirt and fur back onto the carpets )-: That was trash- if you spend $60 on a new vacuum don't expect anything from it. But I don't think that you need to spend $1,000 either- that is crazy! This vacuum stood up to about (I am serious) 6 solid hours of vacuuming a year's worth of dirt and fur. No overheated motor, no plugs, no decreased suction, and no plumes of dust and dirt as you try to shake out the cannister into the trash. I did go through 3!!! vacuum bags though. I really love a feature it has that tells you when there is too much long hair or string on the beater bar - a light turns red which allows you to clean it and then you don't have to guess if it is jammed up or not. I also like that it has lights that come on to tell you how full the vacuum bag is getting and then when it is full so no guessing. The vacuum is very light to push and has a great motion over thick/loopy carpets. But it does get heavier as the vacuum bag fills, though nowhere near as heavy as my Dyson. My only con for this machine was that the cord would position itself behind the tools that are on the back of the cannister and pop them off as you vacuumed, but honestly, this was not a deal breaker for me- I just kept the tools somewhere else while I worked. I also loved how easy it was to switch it to a hand-held to vacuum up pet fur off of couches or dust of baseboards, actually much quicker than my Dyson. It does have a short hose when you do this, and when I was reaching up high to vacuum blinds, the machine would tip itself over due to the short hose, I simply laid it on its side when I did this- problem solved. Changing out the vacuum bags was easy, too. I was able to do it without reading the instructions (-; Overall- I am super impressed with the handling, suction, quality and ability to hold up to really tough dirty conditions that I took it through.

Title: Easy to maneuver
Review: This vacuum is very easy to use and maneuver. I am a senior so need something that is easy to use and lightweight. Love the bright light in front and the options with the handle/wand releasing from stand. Only issue is when using wand, the vacuum falls very easily when hose is extended. Cord length is very good and suction is great. Love the feature to change suction level.

Title: Comparing the Kenmore to a Miele
Review: We have a full size Miele upright vacuum. It has worked well for around 8 years, but as we get older it is very heavy. At almost 26 pounds, and costing almost $700, it has everything you would want in a vacuum except light weight. So we decided to buy a much lighter model. After looking around for many months the Kenmore Intuition came on the market. Looking on Consumer Reports, a Kenmore model was the top brand for a model with a bag. But since the Intuition is a new model, it had not been tested. It turned out to be a great purchase.Listed are the items that are important to me on the Miele that and how they compare to the Kenmore.1. Weight - The Kenmore is almost half the weight, so much easier to use. It doesn't feel as well made as the Miele with its mostly metal design, as compared to plastic, but then again that is what makes it so light. And maybe what helps in making almost 1/3 the price!2. Suction - Hands down the Kenmore has a lot more suction! You get close to something on our hardwood floors and it pulls it in. And on carpet it seems to really suck the dirt out.3. Bag system - The Miele has a great bag on it and connector to install and take it out. Same on the Kenmore. The Kenmore may have a little edge here as the whole top comes off so you put it right over the trash and take out the bag. But that doesn't really matter, as both machines have a bag that seals up as you take it out of the machine.4. Hepa filter - Both machines have a three way filter. A great bag, a small foam filter and a larger Hepa filter. Same design and it works really well.5. Light - Both have a good LED light to see under items. The Kenmore may be a little better here.6. Removable hose with several attachments carried on the machine. Both have this. The Miele hose hard tube part will expand and get larger, while the Kenmore stays the same long length. I like the design of the Miele a little better here, but for one really important design difference. The Kenmore allows the whole top of the machine to come off and you can carry around the hose unit without the floor base. So this makes it 10 times better in using the hose with attachment.7. Maneuverability - This is one area where the Kenmore falls down a little. The head on the Miele turns better than the Kenmore. The only thing that helps out with the Kenmore is that it is so light, but can drag it around anyway. So maybe a half a star better for Miele.8. Suction control - The Miele has a knot on it that will turn down the suction. This is used for different rug types, and for hardwood floors. Update —- I FOUND the suction control on the handle of the Kenmore and it does help on the small rugs! The Kenwood does not have this control. I thought it would be missed. Well it is on small 2 by 4 foot throw rugs. With the Meile you turn the suction down and you can go over the rug. You can not do that with the Kenwood. It trys to pull the rug up. I have a work around in that I put on the pet brush on the hose and use it at full power. You have to do the extra step, but the full power suction does a better job of cleaning these rugs. Like the one at our front door that get really dirty. It really cleans up this rug and makes it look better than the Miele ever did. And you had to change the suction on the Miele for rug piles. The Kenmore stays on full power and works very well on any rug type. And on hardwood or tile floors also. The thing the Miele can't do is break apart and use the top unit by carrying it around. This is a real plus for us. We have steps that really didn't get the cleaning before that we can now do with the Kenmore.I hope this help others.

Review: This vacuum has a lot going for it, cleans very well, has great filters so no dust seeps out, is light and easy to move around, not too noisy, has a great set of attachments, and it uses a bag so no filters to clean and no dust spilling out and wafting around when emptying. The bags are surprisingly good quality and it comes with 7, one in the vacuum and 6 extras. Would highly recommend for cleaning medium size spaces. The head is fairly narrow so it's not the best for large spaces, too much back and forth.

Review: In particular, the hose is long enough to get where you need it to, and easy to deploy. The vacuum we're replacing was a giant pain to use the hose for, this is far better.

Review: It's small which is helpful for storage. The head swivels so it's easy to maneauvre although it takes while to learn how to "steer" it. Suction seems adequate. Price was OK. I'll keep it.

Review: Love, love, love this vacuum. Great maneuverability, super long cord, and easy to operate. The brushes head is smaller than most so it fits much easier under furniture. Also love that you don't have to adjust the height for different floors. It adjusts automatically. Would recommend this product
