Kenmore BU3040 Intuition Lite Lightweight Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner

George W: I wasn't sure what to expect since Kenmore is now made by a different company, but I found this vacuum to be of high quality with very nice features (like suction and bag fill indicators). It's extremely easy to maneuver around furniture and other objects. It has great suction power. We immediately noticed a difference in how the carpet looked after vacuuming with it just twice. Bags are easily removed, and other filters are washable. Well worth the price.

Mark: This little vacuum has great suction. The roller bar could dig into the carpet a bit more, but overall it is easy to move around. The small bags last longer than you would think and are very well filtered.

Brian P of Port Credit: the main feature is that it is a bag device. No more messy emptying of the containers that you experience when using a bagless vacuum. It is very lightweight and easy to maneuver so as to clean in narrow spaces. It is my view that this is a far better vacuum cleaner than the one it replaced, which was a Dyson upright.

PJD: Small, light weight and does a really good job. I’m going to buy another one for upstairs.

Not a wide vacuum but works well
I like the extension of the wand. Long cord. Works GREAT on floors and rugs.
The cleaning lady hated it at first but wouldn’t tell me which one to buy.
After using it on the blinds she likes it.

humnbrd: well, where do I begin? I loathe housework - I would rather be outside than inside, and housework requires that I work inside - ugh - however, I have three dogs (two are Border Collies with undercoats), and a cat, I live in the country near a gravel/dusty road, and I burn wood downstairs to heat the house - dirt, dust, soot, and pet hair are simply a way of life around here, and like it or not, I am required to occasionally vacuum it all up :) about 35 years ago I purchased a Kenmore model 116 upright - awesome, simple vacuum - ten years ago I thought I'd give a bagless vacuum a whirl after the Kenmore went underwater during basement flooding - the Bissell Helix bagless was total garbage - after attempting to clean three times with it, I checked the Kenmore, and while now rusted a bit, it was dried out from the flooding - I turned that puppy on and it ran like always - I have used that vacuum right up to now, and the roller brushes are worn to the point I thought it might be time for a new vacuum - I decided to try this Kenmore Intuition since it appeared to have nice features, was certainly modernized from the days of my old clunker Kenmore, and it has bags -...

King George: I just got this vacuum today and I am impressed. This vacuum checks so many boxes for me.
1 - It's lightweight and has a bag! I hate, HATE, hate bag-less vacuums, and this is one of only a few lightweights that has a disposable dirt bag.
2 - Really good strong suction.
3 - Able to turn off the rotating floor brush independently of the rest of the machine. This means that the roller does not need to spin while using attachments.
4 - Nice long cord. I can plug it in once and reach every corner if I plug into a centrally located receptacle.
5 - The floor head had no problems picking up small stuff. The rotating brushes did the job.
6 - No problems with round stuff. The head rolled right over an old ibuprofen tablet and picked it up on the first pass.
7 - It picked up a penny and sucked it into the bag. It did not jam in the brush, and did not make any clanking sounds. It got sucked up easilly with no possibility of machine damage.
8 - It grabbed a slipper, unintentionally this time. It jammed the brush, and the brush motor stopped instantly because of it, and would not start up again until the obstruction was cleared and powered off. ...
