Kenmore Intuition Bagged Upright Vacuum Lift-Up Carpet Cleaner 2-Motor Power Suction with HEPA Filter, 3-in-1 Combination Tool, HandiMate for Floor, Pet Hair, 14pounds, Green

I have owed this vacuum for 3 years now. I prefer a vacuum with a bag rather than a cannister that has to be emptied. The bag for this vacuum is great because it does not release a lot of dust and replaces easily. The bags are not very expensive. I go through about 3 bags a year of every other day use. The vacuum has great suction to clean both bare and carpeted floors. You can turn off the beater brush, if needed. (I have a couple of area rugs with fringe.) The cannister separates from the floor tool that makes it easy to use on stairs or lifting less weight for high up cleaning. There are two different ways (length of tool) to separate the the suction hose depending on the job you are doing. This is the most versatile and efficient vacuum if have found and I have owed several over the years. I will have this vacuum serviced and repaired until it can no longer be repaired.

This vacuum was worth the cost. It has a strong suction. I really like the functionality of this vacuum. It is light and easily carried between floors. The ability to remove the floor unit and use it as a hand-carry portable vacuum is a blessing for reaching ceiling corner dust bunnies. Reaching under furniture and beds with the detachable wand is very handy.

I like most things about this vacuum such as it is lightweight, maneuvers nicely and has enough suction to get the floors clean. There are a few things I do not like such as the on board tools don’t stay on the machine, they keep falling off, the furniture brush which spins when in use doesn’t work as well as the small brush that doesn’t spin plus there is no way to store it on the machine at all. The plastic tubing in which the dirt enters the machine isn’t very flexible. I’m hoping with time it will become more flexible allowing it to stretch out to reach further. All in all I do like the vacuum but it could be better.

I'll be comparing my Kenmore Intuition to my previous Oreck Magnesium and Oreck XL. Essentially, the Intuition leaves my 'Orecks' in the dust. The machine is much more functional, better engineered, quieter (despite no vac ever being truly quiet), reliable, higher quality plastics, stronger suction, cleans significantly better, can take knocks, easy bag change, easy to keep the roller clear (I have dogs) and much more. Kenmore have hit it out of the park with this vacuum and I can see why it's always in the top 10 of any vacuum review. Cleaning - Super strong suction, it gets everything; dirt, Great Pyrenees dog hairs, crumbs, sand etc.. It fluffs the carpets, none of my Orecks ever came close to this level of performance. Tile/Hardwood floor cleaning - It's excellent. The Intuition rolls and pivots smoothly. Hard surfaces are cleaned and the roller doesn't spray things all over the place. I can vacuum broken glass, dried dirt, crumbs etc. with confidence. Unlike my Orecks that sprayed a good chunk of what I tried to pick-up. Carpet cleaning - Regular carpet cleaning is a dream. The Intuition rolls and pivots smoothly, it grabs just about everything in one pass, and fluffs the carpet. This is in contrast to my Orecks where they require multiple passes and still don't match the Kenmore's performance. Deep pile carpet cleaning - Universally, vacuums don't like deep pile. The Intuition can clean deep pile but it feels like it's working harder. It still does the best job of any vacuum I've used to date. Pet hair attachment - To my complete surprise it actually works really well. My 122lb fur-ball has a large navy blue dog bed, that's used by both him and my 34lb Spitz mix. and the attachment gets all the fur without any fuss. It takes about 2 mins to clean the bed. The attachment brush is a passive system that's powered by the draw of air, and it's the only one of its kind that I've come across that not only works but does an excellent job. Fur inevitably accumulated and to clean it for the first time a few months ago. This was easy. The attachment came apart with ease, cleaning from start (figuring out how it comes apart) to finish (this includes figuring out how to put it back together) took about 10mins. What struck me was the quality of the components and how well everything went back together. Weight - It's 14lbs (with everything). That's 5lbs heavier than either of my Orecks but still light enough to be easily carried up and down stairs. Led Lights - They're bright and actually work to illuminate your path (unlike any of my Orecks). This is especially useful when clean in dark areas like underneath the bed where you will see that shoe lace before it jams your the vac. Additionally, the lights make it easier to see items that would normally be missed like see pet hair clumps or dust bunnies in nooks. Another feature I like about the Led lights is the cast light over the transparent panel above the roller, so you can see how stringy or hairy the roller is getting. Jams - Roller jams are inevitable and this has been the easiest vacuum to unjam. The Intuition detects them within 1 sec and powers down the roller (the roller is powered by its own dedicated motor). The latter ensures jams don't become nightmares, prevents damage to cables/stringy things and there's no burning rubber smell as the vacuum detects the latter before any of that can take place. This is in contrast to my Orecks, they would stink up the room with burnt rubber before detecting a jam (that's if they detected it) and would inevitably stretch and shorten the life of the rubber belt. Bag - The bag is a medium sized bag, some people call it 'small' so let's say it's at the smaller end of medium. Additionally, you can get Hepa bags as well as one’s without any filtration to suit your budget. I opt for the Hepa bags as they keep smells/dust in check. The Intuition has 5 (4 green and 1 red)bag capacity lights that start to illuminate when the bag is about 85% full. When the red light is illuminated, the bag is genuinely full, you're not going to get much more in there....I like this feature because it's accurate. What's interesting is my Orecks had almost double the capacity of the Intuition, so you would expect Oreck bags to last almost twice as long....nope. My intuition bags need to be replaced every 4-5 months. In contrast my Oreck bags would last for 1.5yrs-2yrs. That gives you an idea of how much more the Intuition picks-up, in my case it's proven to be over twice as much. Wand - The Intuition's wand is topnotch. It's a sturdy device with a user friendly handle that detaches with ease and goes back securely, no whistling/wheezing/air leaks. The suction is strong and can be adjusted by a vent open/close on the side of the handle. The hose doesn't flop, twist or get caught around itself and seems to be the ideal length for high ceilings or low areas (like behind/beneath the sofa or hard to reach areas). I've seen some people say their hoses have cracked and replacements aren't available (not good) so they've resorted to duct tape etc. (but they still love their vacs, lol). I've had my Intuition for over two years and the hose is in perf condition. Roller - The roller performance is excellent, it beat both my Orecks by a long shot. Cleaning the roller is also so much easier than any of my Orecks. Pet hair - If you have a fluffy dog (I have two), pet Pet hair build up is inevitable. I'm not sure how Kenmore engineered/pulled-off the following but, despite picking up significantly more hair than my Orecks, pet hair doesn't accumulate as quickly on the Kenmore roller as it did on my Orecks. On the Orecks I would have to clean the roller around every 6-7 months and it was such a fiddly and messy chore. In the 2+ years I've had the Intuition, I've only had to clean the roller twice. Additionally, on the Intuition, it's not the nightmare job, as it was on the Orecks (frankly, it's still something I'd sooner avoid). The Institution leaves a small gap between the wrapped pet hair/stringy things and the roller, the gap is small enough to finagle scissors and cut through the mess. Usually, hair and stringy items are wrapped super tight around the roller, not the case with the Intuition. I have a Great Pyrenee and any Pyr parent will attest to how they destroy vac's, I don't expect this to be the case with Intuition. Detachable body - The body and wand can be detached from the base as a single unit. It comes off with ease and reattaches without squeaks or wiggles so the vacuum always feels like a solid and single unit. I've found this feature to be super convenient and for cleaning stairs, hard to reach places, ceiling corners etc.. Cable - This is a universal Achilles heel of every vacuum cleaner out there, because you can't help but run it over. To start the Intuition has a 30ft cable. perf. Additionally, I've run over the cable on tiled and carpeted floors, and it's never been a problem, the vacuum doesn't pick it up. The only time it's been a problem is when I've run over the cable on a deep pile rug. It grabbed everything, but luckily it wasn't an issue as the vac was quick enough to stop the roller, and I was on my way in the less than a 1 min. Build quality - Excellent. This is a well thought-out and designed machine. By comparison I was surprised at the cheapness of my Orecks components (I had to take them apart multiple times, because I wasn't about to leave my vacuum at an Oreck center for about 2 weeks). Value for money - You can't beat it. I’ve had 3 Orecks whick totaled around $1.5k and all of them have been outperformed by a $169 Kenmore Intuition. The intuition looks great, it's reliable, well built, functional and performs way better than its price point.

I love this vacuum so much for how cheap it was ! It has been through a lot and hasn’t let me down! Also love that it has the hepa filter

Why is this product allowed to be sold for the UK market without any notice or warning?!!! The plug is for US but that's not the major issue here, the voltage is 120V! If you plug this in the UK with an adoptor, you would blow up thhe vacuum cleaner! Dangerous! Now I have to make a trip to drop it off to a collection centre, what a waste of time!!!!

Super buena para alfombras y los accesorios también facilitan mucho la limpieza se sillones y otras superficies.

I haven’t written a review on Amazon before, but I felt I needed to share how much I love this vacuum! It has great suction power but isn’t too heavy. The swivel action works really well so it’s easy to turn corners and go under furniture. The fact that you can use this vacuum on hard floors and carpets with the push of a button is so great too; you can turn off the brush roll so you don’t damage your hard floors. For context, our house has 3 carpeted bedrooms upstairs and hard floor in the living room/halls. This vacuum makes my life so much easier. I’ve only had the vacuum for less than a week but I’m obsessed! I would absolutely recommend this vacuum to anyone who has a similar house situation and is looking for an effective vacuum. 10/10!

Seemed like a well built vacuum cleaner but the plug was a US two pin connector that I had no adapter for, never even got to try it, shame, looks good.
