KenmoreBagless Canister Vacuum, Eggplant

This vacuum is amazingly tough...am a residential cleaner..so it sucks up everything from dog hair to Lego....absolutely love it!!

First, I had a Kenmore canister with a bag for 20 years. Bought it in VA in 2005. Used it all the time. I have birds so I needed to have the hepa filter. For the last three years I was getting bags and filters from Amazon. Always had what I needed. The recoil cord started to get slow on rewind, and I had to make one repair to the cord. Well after last weekend of cleaning, I was finishing some area rugs, when I smelled the motor and saw little smoke coming out. I knew then, she was tired. Rest in peace my little red roll around.So online like everyone else, I started digging. I found this one and did some thinking. HUMMMMM.Well I figured the pole that I had will fit the new pole and I can make a longer extension to reach high dust and cobwebs. Yup it does. Does not have a floor attachment, which I like and not use the beater head, to do bare floors. A must need in my home.Well out of the box, plug in and see what happens. Had the beater head on and went over the area rugs real quick. Remember, I had just vacuumed the day prior. Well the beater has plenty of pull when you are on the low setting. Gets deep in the pile, and the suction is wonderful!I took it out to do the car. I had spent weekends moving a friend, and the SUV was crying to get dirt, dust, dog hair, and many other things. I put the little beater on the short handle and BAM! got hair and dirt out of the carpet. I have rubber floor mats, so that area was easy.It cleaned up everything. Best is that I can carry it around the car or put in the back to get around the rear windows and all the tight areas.So, over all, great little thing. Power, suction, manageability, are important. Since I took care of little red, (RIP) I hope that I get years of use with this one.

This machine is a beast for dirt! I have carpet and wood floor. I live on a ranch with pets. It's larger than most on the market so make sure you understand it isn't a 7 lb. mini canister vac. It weights about 20 lbs. It is a little more cumbersome because it has a huge suction head with motor and a long hose. You can easily switch out attachments. It sucks so much better than any vacuum I have ever used, even Kirby and Dyson. It has a long retractable cord and extendable wand. I could not believe how much pet hair it was able to remove from my carpeted stairs! I am very satisfied. I did a lot of research. The value of this Kenmore vacuum is unsurpassed in my opinion. You won't be disappointed.

Very good vacuum great suction

I wanted to switch to a canister vacuum because I was getting beat up by my upright falling on me every time I used the attachments. I have half wood floors and half carpet in my house and this little machine handles both like a champ. If you have wood or bare floors, you really have to buy the attachment for bare floors. (it really should be included. It used to be years ago) it is also great for getting under furniture and in corners. It cleans bare floors much better than an upright. The little upholstery attachment is amazing. It sucked up so much fine dust off my upholstered furniture. The attachments fit fine on the handle and are easy to access. I also like that the on off switch is on the handle. It is adjustable for carpet height so you don’t have to fight the suction on a thick carpet. I really don’t have any complaints other than the bare floor attachment should be included. Just buy it when you buy the vacuum.
