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.

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.

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.

My first vacuum was a commercial bagged vacuum cleaner. It was the type that has a canvas bag for keeping the dust bag inside. It was powerful but it leaked some dust inside the canvas bag during vacuuming and I could smell the dust a little bit because it did not have a HEPA filter. When that commercial bagged vacuum cleaner broke, I bought a bagged vacuum of another brand that comes with a HEPA filter in a store but when I found out how small the dust bag was, I returned it because it would require changing of the dust bag more often and those small bags were not cheap, either. Since I was not able to find a bagged vacuum cleaner with acceptable capacity in any brick and mortar store, I decided to give the bagless vacuum cleaner a try. Using the bagless vacuum cleaner turned out to be a pain to me because I had to dump the dust just after using one or two times. The flying dust while emptying the dust container gave me allergic reactions. Worse still, the holes leading to the filter often clogged up so I had to clean them up from time to time with water. After about two years, the on/off switch of the vacuum malfunctioned, I decided to switch back to bagged vacuum cleaner. After an intensive search on AMAZON for a bagged vacuum cleaner that meets my requirements of 1/ It must have a dust bag with a large capacity. 2/ The replacement bags are of reasonable price. 3/ It must have a HEPTA filter to prevent fine dust from leaking out. 4/ It must be a brand that I trust. 5/ It must have high ratings on product review, I found the Kenmore Intuition Bagged Upright Vacuum Lift-Up Carpet Cleaner. It is the perfect choice for me and I'm so happy that I found the vacuum cleaner of my dream. Some good points that I like about this vacuum cleaner: * It has very powerful suction. * It is a bagged vacuum cleaner with easy no mess changing of the bag. * The dust bag has a very large capacity. That means I don't have to change the bag too often. In fact it exceeds my expectation because the bag fill level indicator is still in the empty green zone after I had carried out four major vacuuming of the house with carpets in two bed rooms. * Unlike my previous commercial bagged vacuum which smelled a little at the start of vacuuming because it did not have a HEPA filter, the Kenmore Intuition with a HEPA filter does not smell at all. * The brushroll can be maneuvered to point left or right while the handle and the dust bag container are facing forwards. This makes vacuuming the floor under the table and chairs much easier. * The brushroll stops automatically when the handle is in upright position for using the wand for cleaning. It prevents damage to the carpet by the spinning brushroll. * It comes with 5 high quality dust bags in addition to the one inside the vacuum cleaner. I highly recommend the Kenmore Intuition Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner to anybody.

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.

I have had this vacuum for a while now and it is one of the best ones I’ve ever used. Excellent suction and it works great on all my carpets, even the area rugs, with no damage or pulls. For the price point, I highly recommend.
