Kenmore Intuition BU4020 Bagged Upright Vacuum Pet Friendly Lift-Up Carpet Vacuum Cleaner 2-Motor Power Suction with HEPA Filter, Pet Handi-Mate, 3-in-1 Combination Tool for Carpet, Floor, Pet Hair

Love this vacuum. It’s lightweight and easy to maneuver. Bags are easy to replace, and I appreciate the various functions it has (isolating brush, extra attachments, etc). I do wish there were storage placements for all the attachments on the vacuum itself but it’s not a big deal. Also, the “bag refill” light never changes, even when it needs to be changed. Unsure if it’s a sensor that’s not working or more of a timed indicator that we just happen to override since we use it so much. No matter, I just check the bag’s capacity (easy to do) about once a week. Picks up our very hairy dog’s fur quite well and none of the dusty mess other bagels vacuums seems to always create.

I have 5 cats, a dog, various foster pets, and multiple people with long hair all shedding in my house on top of the usual mess young kids can make, so I've tried all the big-name vacuums that promise to take care of my level of disaster. They all get tangled and stopped up right away and they've been impossible to keep going for long. And to top that off, none of them really had the suction power that they claimed to have. This one, however, is everything, and this listing for it is too humble. My biggest complaint is how great it sucks everything up, which is also one of the things I love most about it. Since I'm used to subpar vacuums, I'm also used to being able to vacuum while there are still random socks or pet toys or homework lying on the floor. DON'T DO THAT WITH THIS VACUUM. It not only cleaned several months of untouched nastiness in our rug, but it also took up playing cards, kids socks, hair clips, and paper towels with almost no issue. The sock stayed in the brush area, but the paper towel went almost all the way through to the bag. I thought I'd be unclogging the hose forever, but there's this switch on the handle that allows you to mess with the hose suction, and I was able to pop it out of the way with little to no issue. The sensors are excellent. One shows if the brush is being effective (which clued me into the sock's location) and the other shows the fullness of the bag (which clued me into the paper towel in the hose). This is the first vacuum I've had with a bag in it, and I'm so ok with it. It's light, durable, easy to assemble, quick to move and maneuver, and with the suction power, it's also exceptionally efficient and thorough. If my carpets can't slow it down, it should be able to handle anything. Buy this vacuum. It's beyond worth it.

Ok. Here is my review of the Kenmore vacuum. I will list the good points and then the not so good points. I vacuum EVERY day. With three dogs, it is a must. So, I know a little about vacuuming. 1. I like the fact that this vacuum was so easy to assemble that a caveman could have done it. Major PRO. 2. I like the fact that this vacuum has a bag and is not bagless because I hate to empty dust and hair filled cannisters. Major PRO 3. I can tell by the sound of this vacuum that it appears to have a strong suction. Major PRO 4. The maneuverability of this vacuum is superb and is easy to vacuum. Major PRO 5. The vacuum has a longer than usual cord and no use of extensions would ever be needed. Major PRO 6. I like the fact that if you wanted to disengage the roller brush, you could do so with the push of a button. Major PRO 7. Ther attachments that came with this vacuum gives you a multitude of cleaning options. Major PRO 8. I love the fact that there is an indicator which will tell you if the bag needs replacing WITHOUT opening the door of the vacuum. Major PRO Now the CONS. 1. I'm not thrilled at the location of the on/off switch. I thought they could have located it in the handle, but they did not. Minor CON 2. Closing the door to the changing the bag is going to be a problem down the line. I've read other reviews on this problem and Kenmore didn't seem to think this was important enough to remedy, so they did not. I had to spray the mechanism with WD-40 and give it a sharp blow with my hand, in order for the door panel to engage and close. This may cause problems down the line because, after all, it is plastic, and prone to breakage. That's why I got the 2 year extended warranty. I expect problems with this sooner or later. It's a shame because everything else about this vacuum is exceptional. I guess Kenmore do not read these reviews. They should So the reason I gave this a 4 star and not 5 star rating should be obvious. It's really difficult to close the panel door when you have to change the bag. Perhaps thru opening and closing the door to change the bag will get easier as its being used. Time will tell. Still a very good vacuum though after its first use.

Got the vacuum today & excitedly got it out to try right away. WOW is an understatement. THIS THING SUCKS!!! (In the best way possible) Can't tell you how many vacuums we've gone through over the years and suction was not as expected. This met and way exceeded expectations. As a pet owner (2 cats, 2 dogs - all shedders) strong suction is a must. Love the hair cutting feature on the traditional roller/head (we've manually had to clear that multiple times while cleaning on other vacuums or risk lose cleaning power, such a pain). Also love the bag system. If you're a pet owner you know how "fun" it is clearing those reusable tanks (spoiler - ITS NOT). The bags seem to last a long time and I can't wait for the first mess free clean up - just throw in the trash and done 🙃. Gone are the days of inhaling dust and getting your hands dirty pulling hair and clumps out of the tank! Only cons (not really cons but could be improved) - 1) Maneuverability in traditional vacuum mode: this thing is a beast, and a little boxy to accommodate for the bag system, so I understand why it's a little harder to maneuver. Not a deal breaker for us, just something to get used to. 2) Pet Roller Tool in Lift Off Mode (we have 2 cats, 2 dogs): Started strong on our stairs, but halfway through it seemed to be having issues rolling, so had to use a little more elbow grease and slow down to get everything. I feel like design of the tool could be improved, but it's not bad, just not GREAT. That being said, our stairs never looked cleaner when i got done! 3) Bag Full Sensor: first day using it, so not sure if this is a true issue, but the full and change bag icons were blinking at me at random times during use and when I investigated, the bag wasn't even half full. Adjusted the bag and started again and it showed empty on the icon. Not the end of the world at this point. If it continues I might reach out to seller. Could be a issue with sensor, who knows. All in all, I'm obsessed with the outcome of this vacuum. It left our floors so clean, and me so fired up, I ended up deep cleaning the rest of my house (that NEVER happens 🤣). If you're looking for strong suction, mess free cleanup (just throw the bag when you're done), and very clean carpets - look no further - just buy!

This rose gold vacuum is gorgeous which somehow makes the dreaded chore of vacuuming a little less awful. The vacuum was incredibly easy to put together and I love the 30 foot cord, with my other vacuum I had to unplug and plug back in with every room. It works incredibly well with very strong suction, no complaints whatsoever. I’m so happy to go back to a bagged vacuum. When bagless canister vacuums came out it seemed like such an improvement, but I was always questioning how unhealthy it was for me every time I emptied it. Also, I found myself feeling the need to wash the canister with each use to keep it smelling fresh as I have multiple pets. I love being back to bags, sometimes things are better the first time around. I used to also think bags were a pain, but these look very easy to change and the dirt and dust stays enclosed.

Just took my new Kenmore Intuition Upright Vacuum for a test run. I did have a Shark that was heavier, awkward, louder, and always left my husband and me with backaches. The Kenmore is lighter, more versatile, quieter, and super effective in cleaning tile floors, carpet, throw rugs and upholstery. No backaches and easy to use. The roller design cuts longer hairs so no more cleaning that area. Also, like that is has a collection bag...easy to pop off and on. I highly recommend this vacuum.

I just used this vac for the first time tonight, so I can't comment on how long it will last. But it was easy to put together, and if I can do that, anyone can. It came with a bag already on it, and came with three extra. It's light, easy to use, and so far has good suction. I hate vacuum cleaners, it's the household job I dislike the most. So for a vacuum to seem pretty good is saying a lot for me. So far I'm pleased with it. If it doesn't last for some reason i will add to this review. My ten year old vacuum seems like a dinosaur compared to this one. One month later 1/25- I love it! Its nice and light and is so easy to push, and I like the way it turns around making it easier to get around furniture legs, etc. I also like the handle on the front so you can lift if up easily if it needs to be lifted over the corner of a scatter rug, or it you want to vacuum the stairs without bothering to put it down to use the hose with a brush attachment. My old Kenmore did not have a handle on the front and it was very hard to lift . This one has good suction, cleans nicely. Easy spot to reach with the on/off button. Easy to switch from bare floor to rug. I hate vacuuming, I have all my life. But so far i love this vac and I don't dread vacuuming as much . Very happy with this item so far, hope it continues to be good. 3/25- still loving this vac. i haven't even had to change the bag yet ( not that I vac that much). I rolled that old one out to the curb, it still worked, just heavy and bulky. Someone took it for free. That made the guy happy. 6/25 Still in love with this vacuum. One other thing that I just noticed, when I'm vacuuming, there are these little lights near the start button that light up telling you how fill the bag is. So far two lights have popped on, telling me the bag is half full. There is one more regular light, then a fourth one that says "time to change bag". I love it! -

Comparing this with my old Shark navigator that was quite good for 8 years before my dog chewed its cord & I found out they design them to be non-repairable. Switched to this one after a lot of resesarch & after one use I'm happy with it but it's not perfect Pros -Great suction -No pet hair stuck in the roller! This feature seems to work great -Nice long cord -Bags seem to last plenty long - should get at least a month per bag with a 2000sq ft house and 4 pets Cons -No way to detach the bulky part to be able to vacuum under beds/etc - this was a great feature and I expected it with the "lift away" button but in the Kenmore that does something less useful -No secondary LED that shines when you detach the handle like in my old one
