Great lightweight vacuum and pivoting head makes turning easy. Beater bar and suction really cleans carpets well.

Let’s set the scene. I have mostly wood floors, tile in the kitchen, bathrooms, and dining, and high pile carpet in 3 bedrooms. I currently own a Shark vacuum. It was nearly impossible to push the shark around the carpet and rugs without adjusting the suction. I felt that if I adjusted for less suction, I lost cleanliness on the carpet and rugs. I do like my shark but it’s a pain sometimes.
I bought this Kenmore mainly for my shop, which I do a lot of woodworking in. Once I received this vacuum, I thought I would try it in the house first. If I liked it better, I’d use the shark for the shop. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I will be keeping it for the house.
Pros: I was amazed at how light it was and the ease of movement. Suction was perfect! Easily maneuvered around the carpet and rugs without the beater bar getting stuck. It did a fantastic job pulling any hair and dirt out of the carpet and the other flooring. I had no problem with it blowing hair around like others have stated. I have a Great Dane, a main coon, and a black tabby cat. Its sleek and compact design REALLY helped with getting under the edges of the kitchen cabinets, coffee table and the sofa table. My shark would get jammed under due to its higher profile.
The power switch allows you to use the beater bar or not. That’s a nice feature for such an inexpensive vacuum.
Cons: As always, the cord could be longer. There is no front light to see the floor in front of you, but who vacuums in the dark. I did have issues with the attachment falling out of it’s holder, a lot. That was slightly frustrating.
In conclusion, this compact vacuum was worth the buy and try. The price was hard to beat and I’m certainly glad that I purchased it.

This is the first time I bought a Kenmore product, and I’m very happy with the quality. As far as bagless, upright vacuums go, after reading hundreds of reviews this one seemed to have the best suction while still being light weight.
I honestly only have one single complaint about this vacuum and it would not stop me from buying it. I generally use the hose more than anything, if you are going to pull this vacuum by the hose, and you pull it on a diagonal it will tip over. Otherwise not a single complaint thanks Kenmore!

After my “old” Kenmore vacuum broke down after 3 years (hose in the base broke down) ,I was looking to buy new one not as “fancy” and expensive as old one, so I got this vacuum. Much more simple, no hepa filters, no bags , no high tech. This vacuum is simple, user friendly, lighter, smaller vacuum. Great suction! I have 2 dogs and 1 sheds all the time and this vacuum picks dog hair with ease. There are manual 4 levels to adjust for height. The only comment I can make, I wish hose was longer! Power cord is long, a lot of attachments. I hope this one will last me longer than old, much more expensive vacuum! Highly recommended.

My husband and I just replaced our carpet with a high quality 25 year plush carpet and love it! We purchased the home with a pre-existing carpenter grade carpet and my Shark Sweeper was just perfect for the job.
However, the plush carpet is another beast that definitely required a higher quality vacuum for the job. I looked at Shark and Dyson but did not want to spend that much money on a higher quality vacuum. I am a Gen X lady and saw that there was a Kenmore Vacuum available for less money and several attachments were included for no additional charge.
The Kenmore brand was carried by Sears and had a stellar reputation for quality “back in the day”. While Sears no longer exists the brand was picked up by another manufacturer and boy I am thankful they did. I hate to say it but Shark doesn’t have a thing on this model of Kenmore vacuum!!!!!
Three main things on this vacuum that I love with one possible CON:
1. The canister on the vacuum is very easy to empty with nothing inside for debris to get caught on…
Because
NO ONE WANT TO STICK THERE HAND IN THE DEBRIS CANISTER!!!!!!! AND it can be emptied with one
hand – which might be helpful for some folks.
2. When you need the extension for cleaning it is very easy to access and use. This may sound like I am
being picky but I had a very difficult time getting the extension off of the (Shark vacuum) which I use
almost every time I use the vacuum. The extension can be accessed and used with one hand as well.
3. Ease of Assembly – Only 1 screw to attach the handle to the vacuum – The screw is large and easy to
handle so if you have issues with manual dexterity you should be fine.
Possible Con: If there are any draw backs it would be the weight which was 6 lbs heavier than my
other vacuum at
14 lbs. However, my new carpet requires a more power. If you just need the vacuum for the main
floor and your stay on that main floor you should be fine.

I love this vacuum it’s so easy to use. It turns on a dime and the angle is amazing. If you have any wrist or shoulder issues than this vacuum is for you. It has lots of power and it’s also very easy to clean. Overall I’m very pleased with my purchase. The only downside is my bulldog tries to hump it because he was born with a peanut in his brain.

My old vacuum finally bit the dust after 10 years so I needed a replacement. I was keen on getting one that was no frills, preferably bagged… no vornado, no cyclonic action gimmicks that just clog up and reduce suction. I found this vacuum while searching and the price was right in addition to being a brand I’ve trusted for decades. The fist thing that really stood out with this unit is the weight, easily less than half the weight of my old vacuum but when I used it the first time I was really amazed as it pulled dirt out of the carpet that my old vacuum had left behind. I have 2 cats and of course, shedding is a problem well this powerful little unit easily picks up the cat hair and dirt depositing it into a simple to empty cup.
Pros:
– Powerful suction
– Easy to empty dirt container, no more having to fish out pet hair
– Large dirt container, fewer stops to empty it
– Lots of different attachments, like seriously I’m not sure what all of these do
– Toe activated power button
– Foot activated head, easy to lower the head from locked position
– Easy height adjustment dial
– Lightweight, I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and this unit is easy to pick up
Cons:
– Attachments store on vacuum but can fall off if not properly clicked in place
– Upholstery beater brush attachment, the brush stops spinning if the upholstery is thick
Overall this is an excellent buy. I’ve used it several times now and I’m amazed at how much it picks up.

Vacuum was ok. Suction pretty good. Placement of the suction hose is a nuisance. But I wouldn’t buy it or recommend buying it to anyone else. After a year and a half the beater bar/brush bar needed replacing, you CANNOT FIND IT ANYWHERE! Looked everywhere. Called both Kenmore in Canada and in the U.S.A. nobody could help and very rude costumer service. One lady hung up on me. Waste of money to only last just over a year and then its a paper weight.

Incredibly powerful! Best vacuum I have owned yet!.. definitely recommend if you own animals, it’s suction is so powerful and cleans your carpet like no other vacuum. Definitely worth every penny.

Works really well, however the hose attachment that clicks in, broke with very little use. It was not broken by force but just using it normally. That’s the only reason why I have it 4 stars. Other than that, the vacuum performs well, and sucks good.
