I ADORE this vacuum cleaner
I bought this vacuum yesterday because it's rated number one by Consumer Reports (reason enough right there), and because it was on sale at Sears for $479.99, within my $500 budget. Most of yesterday was spent in a vacuuming delirium of joy. Here's why:
It picks up everything -- cat food debris, dust, spider webs, leaf litter, cat fur, everything.
All the buttons -- on/off, motor power, suction power, agitator on/off -- are on the handle. Pile height adjustment with your foot. Fly like a bird from floor to carpet and back!
Has a 27-foot cord, which means if I plug it in the kitchen, I can reach all the way to either end of the house.
Has a power agitator ("Power Mate") for carpets, which you can turn off to vacuum bare floors. Even better, you can pull out of the Power Mate a smaller floor brush that reaches into smaller spaces and crevices.
The wand lengthens easily so you can get spider webs off the ceiling, dust the tops of...
Kenmore Intuition. The MOST user UNFRIENDLY vacuum.
I clean houses for a living and unfortunately two clients have this vacuum. I REALLY hate this vacuum. The bare floor brush doesn't pick up very well, I believe it's because of the wheels, it's not flush to the floor. And if you need to quickly get a cobweb or something on the wall or in a corner, forget it, it doesn't work at all. When I have to take the bare floor brush off to use the wand it has a quick??? release feature that I've almost injured my foot on trying to get it to let go. Also very hard to get the handle to release from the wand. The carpet (beater brush) is very heavy and awkward to maneuver. You have to yank the vacuum along behind you to get it to roll and then it doesn't roll straight, it goes left and right instead, constantly getting caught on things, around corners etc. It is quiet however. I recommend the Kenmore Progressive instead which is a user friendly decent vacuum cleaner.
Clean away
I liked the Intuition and it's features. It was bought used so I didn't get a vaccum bag for it or a pamphlet with handy info on it. I was disappointed about that. It cleans with ease. The only point about it is the weight to pull it around and picking up the canister to move it. I'm an old grey mare and I am not as strong as my younger days. It cleans pet hairs with ease and the switching from the floor to carpet is great. All the features are on the handle,so you can change each task in a second. I would recommend this unit.
