Kenmore Friendly Lightweight Bagless Compact Canister Vacuum with Pet Powermate, HEPA, Extended Telescoping Wand, Retractable Cord and 2 Cleaning Tools, Eggplant

Hi gals (and guys), We ordered in September. Arrived very quickly. (Luv my AMAZON). You’re gonna love it. The sweeper. It’s purple. Good suction. Maneuvers easily. The attachments also work very well. And, they’re handy on the handle. Go ahead and get it & enjoy.

First, I had a Kenmore canister with a bag for 20 years. Bought it in VA in 2005. Used it all the time. I have birds so I needed to have the hepa filter. For the last three years I was getting bags and filters from Amazon. Always had what I needed. The recoil cord started to get slow on rewind, and I had to make one repair to the cord. Well after last weekend of cleaning, I was finishing some area rugs, when I smelled the motor and saw little smoke coming out. I knew then, she was tired. Rest in peace my little red roll around. So online like everyone else, I started digging. I found this one and did some thinking. HUMMMMM. Well I figured the pole that I had will fit the new pole and I can make a longer extension to reach high dust and cobwebs. Yup it does. Does not have a floor attachment, which I like and not use the beater head, to do bare floors. A must need in my home. Well out of the box, plug in and see what happens. Had the beater head on and went over the area rugs real quick. Remember, I had just vacuumed the day prior. Well the beater has plenty of pull when you are on the low setting. Gets deep in the pile, and the suction is wonderful! I took it out to do the car. I had spent weekends moving a friend, and the SUV was crying to get dirt, dust, dog hair, and many other things. I put the little beater on the short handle and BAM! got hair and dirt out of the carpet. I have rubber floor mats, so that area was easy. It cleaned up everything. Best is that I can carry it around the car or put in the back to get around the rear windows and all the tight areas. So, over all, great little thing. Power, suction, manageability, are important. Since I took care of little red, (RIP) I hope that I get years of use with this one.

Excellent vaccume. Two husky dogs in this house. This vaccume replaced a 2001 Electrolux Deluxe!! Due to the cost to repair an Electrolux I decided to replace it. So this vaccume has big shoes to fill! So far so good. Suction is on par with the aged Electrolux maybe even better. It does plug on things occasionally but it has a pressure relief valve that prevents damage to the internals and makes an AWEFUL racket to let you know it's plugged. My only two complaints thus far is it does not come with a brushless hard floor attachment. You can use the powered head with power off but it's not as effective, and the attachment storage clip is flimsy and the attachments fall off (this loses a star off 5stars as I most likely will lose the attachments eventually). A very minor gripe is that the vaccume is so light that it will, and occasionally does tip over on carpet edges if it doesn't approache straight on. SO FAR this vaccume is a great replacement for my $2400 Electrolux!

I just got this vacuum at the end of January and did not realize I would not be able to return it should problems arise. I have a HUGE problem, after less than 45 days it does not work. In the beginning it had impressive suction power but the very first time I had to empty the dust bin I was concerned. The way this thing is engineered requires that you empty it after EVERY use. No problem, I could have handled that except for the fact that it is difficult to put the dust bin back on and more than 80% of the time, if you do not have it exactly right, you have no suction at all. The dust bin is very poorly designed as it is extremely small and all of the finer particles of dust adhere to the plastic dust bin requiring that you have to wipe it out completely in order to use it again. I paid $286.09 for this stupid piece of crap an now, 40 days later it turns on but suck up nothing. To make matters worse I have to deal with Kenmore/Sears (ARE THEY EVEN IN BUSINESS ANYMORE?) to see if they will let me return it.

This is my second purchase of this model. The first one is still running, but seems to have lost a bit of suction after ten years of service (and the pet powermate gave up the ghost many years ago). I was looking for a new vacuum, and saw this old familiar model on sale, so bought it immediately. No part on the original failed over the past decade (except the powermate) and I am hopeful this one will be as good. It appears to be identical. Picks up pet hair very well. The nice thing about this model is that you can fully disassemble the collection unit and thoroughly clean it. It has two filters. The circular dust filter can be removed and cleaned by running water through it. I recommend getting a spare since it takes a long time to dry. The HEPA filter lasts a long time, and I only replaced that once on the previous model. Overall a very robust and efficient vacuum, and a great value. A credit to the old Sears/Kenmore name, although I’m not sure of its current corporate parentage.

Very good vacuum great suction

This vacuum is amazingly tough...am a residential cleaner..so it sucks up everything from dog hair to Lego....absolutely love it!!

Product was as described. Small unit, Suction is OK for a small unit. Little disappointed the unit wdoes not work well on vinyl flooring, need to use the bar to get stuff off the floor

This was such a disappointment. It will not pick up litter or small items. Very cheap and plastic.

I bought this vacuum 5 months age and just stop working no power at all . Tried Kenmore in USA but they don't help people in Canada . Tried to find a Kenmore customer service in Canada all numbers disconnected . Don't buy this product !!!!!!!!!!!
