Kenmore BU4050 Intuition Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner - Powerful and Efficient Cleaning Performance

Jen: Update: I thought I just had to get used to it, but it's not that. It won't suck up cat hair / hair / floof from a very short-pile carpet, even going over it repeatedly. I have to go around after it picking up bits manually after vacuuming. For a $300+ vacuum it's absurd. Contacted support. If they don't have a resolution it's going back.

Pros
• The light on the front is great. It shows just how dirty things are, and how clean they are after! Satisfying. Now to do something about those carpet stains it pointed out....

• Nice small footprint - it's not as fat as I expected based on other reviews. It's more... slightly chubby. The narrow foot helps get in tight places that a bigger vac wouldn't.

• The handle comes off and can be used with attachments without the extender wand. This is really nice for just quickly doing the couch or bed frame. The slinky flexible hose has a really nice feel to it and seems well made.

• It sucks up the dirt, dust, hair, fur and kitty litter nicely, and the brush roll had no hair stuck in it after my first round. That's worth the extra price right there.

• There's a quick release for the cord at...

Suzann: I didn't want to write a review until I had owned and used this vacuum for several months in order to give a solid opinion. At this point I would absolutely say I love this vacuum, I would purchase it again without hesitation, and have very little constructive criticism to offer!
PROS:
Very easy to maneuver! The swivel head turns very easily around corners, tight spaces, and it feels very self-propelled. It's just lightweight enough to very easily pick up when needed, and the detachable body is wonderful for doing the stairs. The ability to use it as an upright vacuum, a stick vacuum, the multiple attachments for different jobs, the detachable body for doing stairs, just overall a wonderful all-purpose vacuum that is vigorous enough to get every job done, yet light enough to not throw my back out or worry about falling down the stairs because of it! LOL
I also personally feel that bagless vacuums, which I have owned in the past, are really gross! Every bagless vacuum can claim that it's mess free, but the two that I have owned were filthy when emptying the dust cup and clouds of dirt and dust would fly up no matter what method I used. So I also love that this vacuum has a...

CLaneCLane: 7-month update:
I did have to clean the brush roll on the Rose vacuum once last week. It's the hair-shedding season and I delayed grooming the Goldens too long. But removing the hair was much easier with the channel that allows the scissors under the hair.
Also, for those who complain that they are going through bags quickly when they first get this vacuum, understand that your old vacuum was not cleaning your house properly so this vacuum has to play catch up and you will use more bags in the beginning. It should level out once your house is properly cleaned. The bags hold a lot of debris and are full each time I replace them. Much more efficient than the canister vacuum I had which left half the bag empty.

Full disclosure I am a multiple vacuum owner. I have a Miele upright(over 10 yrs.), a Kenmore canister(over 13 yrs.), and a Samsung Jet90 with the auto clean station for quick pickups. I don't like carrying vacuums up and down the stairs. This new vacuum is replacing the Kenmore canister.

I have had the green BU4022 model for over a year. It works excellently being easy to maneuver and the lift-off feature is handy, but the brush roll fills with hair and is...

Anonymous A Anonymous: Easy to assemble by myself, beautiful to look at, easy to maneuver, light weight, really really really cleans the carpet, can clean my linoleum too on its lower setting so I don’t have to sweep as much, I’m sure if it works on linoleum it would be great on hardwood. It has a HEPPA bag system so I don’t have to get dust and dirt all over myself whenever I try to empty my canister. It EVEN AUTOSEALS THE BAG!!! The bag is paper whereas when I empty the canister of my old machine it is in a plastic garbage bag and I have to use two—the second one to sweep up and capture the dust that poofed out. I grew up with bagged vacuums and NEVER understood why you wouldn’t want all the dirt wrapped up for you! How is it more sanitary or earth friendly use plastic bags and you have to do it yourself instead of paper and being done for you? My old machine never had good suction, it was gross looking at the clear canister where dirt was, even cleaned out it was still dusty and gross looking. I have massive arachnophobia and used to use the vacuum attachments to get them if I saw them. With the clear one not being in a bag I would
have to look at it in the canister if I did use it so I...

Paula A.: This vacuum works great. Has great suction and the cord reaches a good distance. I can almost do my whole main floor of my 1500 sq foot house. It is a little loud but that is its only draw back. Not enough to knock it down a star either.
