There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The hose is super short so this isn't great as a detail vacuum for ceilings or high places. It works fine for corners and furniture, just slightly annoying to move around. Probably not a good pick for anyone elderly. Looks like it comes with an extendable wand now though so that might make a difference (mine doesn't have one).
Only real con is that it doesn't do great at getting dog hair off my couch. The suction for the hose is so much that it sucks the fabric right up and makes it too hard to move around. The pet hair attachment doesn't do it for dog hair at all.
It's still a great sturdy simple vacuum, even if I have to brush the dog hair on the couch into a little pile so I can get it with the hose.
It is way too heavy, despite its claim of being "lightweight", to the point that no one wants to use it. We instantly go for the crappy, battery powered lightweight vacuum instead.
Next, when ordering, I had filtered all vacuum cleaners on Amazon until I got to this one. The most important feature I checked was a retractable cord. Somehow, this model appeared in my search results, despite its not having a retractable cord, and I didn't catch it until I had put it together. I won't make that mistake again, but I'm adding it here in the event the filter isn't fixed before someone else lands in the same position. The cord is very long, which is great, but I never want to wind up another super-long cord again.
Pros
- Heavy, means powerful motors and noise silencing. If you can't pickup a 6 month old grandkid or a 20# sack of potatoes, don't buy this. Go buy one of those light and hard to clean bagless things.
- NOT BAGLESS. It uses a bag. Best thing for vacuums. Easy to empty and you DON'T have to disassembly half the vacuum every month to clean 6 or 8 different parts like all bagless vacuums. Do yourself a favor, buy a bagged vacuum.
- Quiet. Very quiet.
- A pet brush that really works. I'm amazed at how well this works. This is due to the brush roller having plastic paddles and not a spinning fiber brush. This is a big deal if you have animals. I never used the other vacuum's pet brush because they didn't work.
- Quiet. Did I say that?
- Aluminum extension wand. Sturdy. Locks in place for different lengths.
- The single switch which goes from OFF-ON (hard floors)-CARPET. Perfectly positioned for your thumb.
Con
- Hose extension is tight and does not easily stretch. Using the attached hose and the wand is a bit cumbersome.
- I would love to buy a 10' extension hose like my old Kenmore had.
- I would love to buy a 10" wide floor brush to use with that 10' extension hose.
Overall - Buy it. Best vacuum out there. Also, buy the extended warranty, just in case.
I paid for this Kenmore vacuum using my own money. I did not receive any incentive to write this review.
I don't have a big house. Only two of the rooms have low pile carpet for which I've used this vacuum, and the only creatures that shed in the house are myself and three small medium-haired cats. After doing some Googling and troubleshooting, I contacted their warranty replacement department, sent in a form, and was told to expect a replacement unit within 15-20 business days. We're now well past that window and I still don't have a replacement.
When it does work, it sucks fine. The attachments are just okay, though the pet-mate one is a PITA to clean and gets stuck often. I've never had a vacuum fail so quickly, even the crappy 70 dollar ones I've bought in the past. I think at this point I'm giving up on waiting for a replacement and will be going with a different brand from now on.
Top reviews from other countries
Our house has tons of carpet, so to make it easier we have 2 vacuums (one for each floor). For the main level and stairs we have a SEBO E3 canister and on the second floor we have this Kenmore and without a doubt I can say this Kenmore is more powerful than the SEBO by far. I even did an experiment where I bought an adapter to be able to plug in a SEBO handheld air powered turbo brush to this Kenmore and that tool was louder when plugged into this Kenmore than it was on the SEBO, meaning this Kenmore was producing more airflow to spin the turbine faster than the SEBO could despite that vacuum costing over twice as much as this. On the Kenmore, the suction power remains consistent as the bag fills as well.
We have an issue with a lot of long human hair on the carpet and not that much gets caught in the brush roll. In fact, whatever hair does get caught around the brush roll, comes off incredibly easily. In the past i've had Sharks where it would seem that not a single strand of long hair would make it into the dust bin as all of it would be bound around the brush roll, not the case with this Kenmore though.
Despite this unit being powerful, its actually not too loud at all. There is no high pitched shrill you hear on cheap vacuums making it easy to bear. I really love that it has an LED headlight, not sure why these are absent on so many models nowadays.
Contrary to what many reviewers say, despite it coming in at around 18 pounds, the vacuum is INCREDIBLY easy to push back and fourth. It rolls very smoothly. I've used a Shark Professional model in the past which physically was lighter than this Kenmore and within a few back and fourth passes, my ENTIRE arm would begin to hurt. This Kenmore despite weighing more than the Shark, never once gives me that feeling in my arm.
The worst part about this vacuum, is the Pet Handimate. When you initially plug in the tool and start the vacuum, it is incredibly loud giving the impression that it means business...but upon putting it on relatively low piled carpet it slows down to the point of it becoming borderline useless. What I do instead is use the SEBO handheld air powered turbo brush from my E3 canister by using a reducer adapter so that it fits on the hose of this Kenmore and that works beautifully...better than on the SEBO actually.
Another thing which may be worrisome for other people is the overall hose length. It's relatively short but not an issue for us.
Beyond that, this unit is fantastic and I'm almost tempted to sell the SEBO E3 and purchase another one of these for the main floor and stairs.
