Kenmore DU5080 Bagless Upright Vacuum with Lift-Away Technology for Easier Cleaning

Ira Cohen: Having purchased several vacuums over the years, always found the hype was far bigger than the actual performance...so I expected a good vacuum and hoped the old Kenmore name meant reasonable quality.
I was really impressed,..all plastic seems durable and heavy duty pieces all snap together solidly, everything is easy to use.
The unit is far quieter than I expected considering the 1250 W motors...Long 30' cord means one plug in and i'm done...large capacity cup holds plenty, though my first run with the vacuum almost filled it...to my pleasant surprise, or should I say horror, considering my last vacuuming with my dirt devil was just the day before...
Great suction, easy swivel maneuvering and the spin attachment cleaned my drapes and a fabric chair while I was at it.
Seems to be really good at HEPA function...sure, some dust still in the air, but I have a dog and am near several trees that dump pollen all the time,
In a word, if this vacuum holds up, which most users seem to say it does, then I really got a good buy
Actually bought it used so wasn't much of a hit to the wallet either.came absolutely clean and like new.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: If you are looking for a powerful, lightweight vacuum at a decent price, this Kenmore Bagless Upright is for you! I've owned maybe 20 vacuums in my life, and this is by far the best pet hair & dust grabber. You will be AMAZED at what it picks up! And it's so lightweight, you can easily take it up and down stairs! The cord is good and long, and I could travel up a full set of stairs (with a turned landing) without having to re-plug. On top of that, it has a wide handheld tool that makes quick work of furniture and stair treads due to its width. Now, the vacuum is not perfect. One shortcoming is that my favorite tool, that wide handheld attachment, does not store on board. In my mind, this is a rather major design oversight! That being said, I simply bought mesh drawstring bags on Amazon and attached one to the handle (see image). It's easier than carrying the separate attachment up and down stairs, and I use the tool a lot. The mesh bag does bounce around a bit while I'm vacuuming, but does not interfere with function.

I've had lots of vacuums at varying price points. This little Kenmore works better than the $500 vacuum I used to have. It's a...

Boss: Bought allot of vacuums in my life. Everything you worry about with a vacuum is solved in this one. It does all the tricks and then some. If you watch the videos on this one you'll see just how vast the array mechanisms on this Kenmore really are.
Favorite features, self propel. Yeah, just like the lawn mowers that move forward for you, this Kenmore does the same because of the rotating bar and the suction strength. It really deep cleans. Second favorite feature is the swivel action. It can turn on a dime without allot of back and forth to get where you want. One turn of your wrist and it heads the opposite direction. The length of the hose is perfect! the ability to use the items that come with the machine, are easy to attach and use. The filter is perfect, oh and there's this incredible light that stays green to let you know about your filter. It will tell you when the filter is so full that it's slowing down the suction power. Throw the filter in the wash or hand wash, let it dry and you're back in business. With this Kenmore you've bought a machine that finally takes care of YOU. I'm done babying and working on a machine that I fight the cord, the...

Alex: La aspiradora es fácil de maniobrar y tiene muy buen poder de succión. Tiene un filtro HEPA que detiene todas las partículas, además de q el filtro se puede cambiar y esta disponible en Amazon. La calidad del producto es bueno, en relación al precio.

jaimes10577: We received our new Kenmore vacuum yesterday, 4 days earlier than expected...thank you Amazon! Upon unpackaging our first impressions were that the vacuum was what we expected. It was somewhat more difficult to get everything to "snap" together, but once it was together, it seems on par with other types of vacuums we have looked at. We have had 3 Dyson Animals, 1 of original (lasted 12 years) and 2 balls (each lasted 5 years).

Pros:
It is easy to move around...turns and goes around furniture easy. Comparable to Dyson ball vacuum.
Lightweight and easy to carry around, means easier up and down stairs if your house is multi-level. My kids can easily use it.
Length of cord is adequate to not have to move cord every time we move into another room.
Suction seems adequate, picks up a lot of hair and dust Dyson left behind (but I believe any brand new vacuum will do this). Hopefully this will last for a while.
Love the adjustable suction power on the hand wand, sometimes don't need the full power.
Entire vacuum is intuitive, don't need to read a book to figure out how to use it.
Love that attachments are carried on board.
Canister volume...

Winnipeger: We moved into a condo and needed a new vacuum (our previous home had central vac.) We have about a 1000 square feet of rug and this vacuum really works for us. It maneuvers very easily. It's light. Cannister empties really easily and suction is great. I put it together in about 10 minutes - no problems. We've had it now about 6 months and I'm totally satisfied with it. It works!

GlitzyglamGlitzyglam: My old vacuum broke (50$ Bissell that worked great for me for years) and I decided it was time to invest a bit more into a new one. I did a lot of research reading reviews on multiple brands and styles. I decided to go with this one because the reviews were great - even the bad ones can only complain the suction is too much for their liking. In my eyes that wasn't a bad review, I think people are just improperly using their vacuum. There is even a piece that you swivel to control suction power. Not to mention this is the first vacuum to actually work on hard floor without just spinning the dirt everywhere. I am blown away after one use. The attached picture is what this picked up from my front entrance area rug. It looks like I haven't even been vacuuming that's how much stuff came out. Very pleased with this purchase and I feel the price is incredible for the power you get. There are reviews stating its hard to maneuver and I'm unsure why they felt this way as I find it glides with such ease and moves very smoothly. If anything changes with more use I will be sure to update my review. For now though, extremely blown away!

Nicole: This is by far the best vacuum I’ve ever owned! I love the hard floor setting; it sucks without the brush running so it doesn’t kick debris away before it can be sucked up! This is a feature I have been seeking forever but never found it until now. I don’t have to have multiple vacuums, to do different jobs, as I needed before. I can transition from floor to carpet with the switch of a button. It has a great long hose which is awesome for cleaning cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling as well as baseboards and stairs. I Love this beautiful vacuum! The only thing I would love for them to add is a duo self cleaning roller brush. I have had to pick some hair from the brush, but that wasn’t an issue because it didn’t hamper its function. I would definitely suggest this vacuum to everyone! I want to buy one for my mom this Christmas! Just awesome!
