Kenmore BC2005 Pet-Friendly Vacuum Cleaner: Lightweight, Bagged Canister Design

Amazon Customer: Actually, the old one still works fine and I will keep it for the garage. I received the new one yesterday, a day earlier than expected, and assembled it in less that minute. Smooth fittings, and wonderful improvements on function compared to the old one. I began to use it immediately and I am going to give every function a solid 10+. This machine is exceptional in every way. The suction level is perfection , levels of height on electric sweeper change easily, length of hose and cord was excellent, with plenty of length in our three story circular floor plan to not need to unplug it. The unit is top notch and highly recommend it to anyone needing a machine that exceeded my expectations. I wish I would have purchased this very solid, easy to use vacuum sooner. Love it!!

Tenor: It’s solid and it has good suction. The parts are stored on the vacuum which helps. Good value for money.

Patrick17: This vacuum is a good deal. It’s inexpensive, works very well and has great suction to pull pet hairs and dander out of the carpet. Good on hard floors too. I prefer this bagged vacuum because it holds all dust and debris instead of shaking a canister into the garbage. I’m pleased with my purchase !

Sallie Allerdice: Amazon described this vacuum cleaner as a "frequently returned item". If you are looking for power heads and fancy features, don't buy this one! If you vacuum every day and have a house full of kids, pets and messy people, don't get this one! However, if you are just a couple of retirees with a cat and a small dog and vacuum about twice a month, then this one's for you! It checks all my boxes for an ideal vacuum:
-Lightweight, easy to pick up and move
-Bagged (no mess emptying)
-Retractractable cord
-Easily maneuverable, fits under furniture without having to move furniture around
-Good suction for hardwood floors, low pile carpet and upholstery
-Useful attachments, the three in one tool is great
If you absolutely must have a power head, you can purchase it separately as this model has the electrical connection in the wand that enables the power head to work, but it will make it heavier and less likely to fit under your furniture, but better for higher pile rugs.

Lori Barrett: This vacuum cannot be beat for it's versatility and convenience. Just bought our second one. If you are really serious about cleaning your house, then this is the answer. It is excellent on carpet/rugs. The solid surface floor wand can get all the way under furniture and to the corners, up and over things, low and high, quickly and easily. The pet attachment for furniture is the ONLY thing that will lift that hair right up! The suction is very powerful! There are settings for low and power and low and high carpet pile so you can vacuum high pile on lower power without sucking it up. The wand is adjustable for your height. It's light weight. It makes cleaning very easy, convenient and quick! The only downside, is the durability. It's plastic and tends to crack, break and fall apart easily. We had to duct tape our last one everywhere but that motor was still going strong!!!
Important to change bags out, clean filters and change out filters regularly.

Benutzer2013: Dieser Staubsauger ist nicht für den Europäischen Markt gedacht ,weil er für 120 Volt ausgelegt ist.
Warum dieser in Deutschland auf amazon.de verkauft wird ist sehr fragwürdig . Aus den USA von amazon.us hätte ich ja noch verstanden. Einzig und allein eine Angabe von 120 Volt ,hätte ja ein Schreibfehler seien können ,es gibt ja auch andere Staubsauger mit 800 Volt . Wo man sich fragt ,wo die angeschlossen werden sollen :-)
Vielen dank Amazon.de für den extra Weg zur Post mit 11,5 Kilo. Für den Anbieter gibt es 1 Stern.

km: Good vacuum cleaner. Like one I had many years ago, before my power roller one gave up the ghost. Not a heavy machine made of current technology and materials. Vacuum does its sucking up job very well. Description in the advertisement was incomplete. My expectations after reading it were no met when I opened the box. I guess it will do. It works well.

Sandra: This Kenmore is similar to our 20 year old machine which, by the way, still works. (With a little duct tape!)
This new machine seems to be more cheaply made with more plastic instead of metal. It is smaller than our old Kenmore and therefore lighter in weight. The floor brush is too small, but my old floor brush fits on the new wand. The power head is fine. I would recommend this vacuum cleaner, but I doubt it will last 20 years!

Macromama: So I LOVE Kenmore vacuums because of their reliability and they get the job done right! I've had at least 4 - which says a lot because it's the only brand I've owned in my 75 years. We have established they last, they have great suction and a variety of tool attachments. This one is bigger, heavier and more tricky to get parts together (and no it's not due to my age!). So I'm a manual reader (you guessed it, I'm not a man LOL) so the first thing I did after reading it was check everything out -open every nook and cranny. Don't check the rear filter! I spent over an hour trying to get it back in. Once I removed the filter to check it out and tried to replace it I could not get the cover to stay on. Each time I turned on the vacuum, it blew it across the room with rocket force (luckily this didn't break the cover). I could replace the cover easily without installing the filter - I eventually had to put the whole canister on the hose end and use my entire body weight to get that cover back in place. One thing's for sure it has a TIGHT seal - the next time I think that needs replacing, I'll be inviting a man over - hopefully he'll be stronger. My second displeasure...
