“Kenmore Progressive Bagless - Great Buy”

I've had this vacuum cleaner for a short period of time, but it's been amazing so far! My floors are cleaner than they have been since I've purchased my house and I'm enjoying fluffy carpets again. What sold me on this machine is its weight and pull. These I assume can be a negative if you are looking...

“A poorly constructed and self destructing vacuum”

This vacuum cleans very well but clogs frequently.  I echo the reviewers who have said it isn't durable.  Mine began having serious problems after about a year and after about 18 months has finally quit working.  Despite how well it cleans when it works It's not a wise buy.

“Awesome vacuum , no bags or belts to buy & replace.”

I love this vacuum. I borrowed my mothers when my less than a year old Hoover with not one , but two belts to change failed once again. This Kenmore Inteli- Clean System is the best. Great suction and easy to empty. We have a dog & 4 cats so I have to vacuum frequently & I love that there is no belt to fail. On every other vacuum I have owned I spend half the time I should be cleaning unscrewing the bottom covered in dust changing belts. Mom is coming back from vacation today & will need her vacuum back, so I am headed to Sears when I get off from work to buy my very own!

“I love my new Kenmore Pro - Bagless Upright, it's fantastic!”

I bought the Kenmore Progressive Bagless Upright with Inteli-Clean System about a month ago.  This is the first Kenmore I ever purchased.  I am extremely impressed with this vacuum.  All these years, I have owned Hoover Uprights and finally I decide to switch brands.  I am so glad I did, I just don't know why it took me so long.  I love my new vacuum cleaner.  It is so easy to use, it almost runs itself and it picks up everything, especially pet hair.  I have a dog and a cat.  With this vacuum, no one will notice that I have pets because it picks up all the pet hair and everything else...

“Best Vacuum I have ever had”

 If you were to ever need a great vacuum this is THE one to buy!

“Great...At First”

I purchased this vacuum nearly 2 years ago.  The suction is great and the vacuum is very menuverable.  The first big issue was that since the filter hangs down in the middle of the canister, hair and what not gets stuck all around the filter and when you have to empty it you need to reach your hand into the canister to pull everything out.  The second issue is with the spinning brush/upolstory attachment, great idea, if you want to vacuum the air the brush spins great.  If you actually want to vacuum your sofa or the stairs, even just lightly touching it to the surface the brush stops spinning,...

“I love my vacuum”

I have had this model for about 4 weeks now and love it.  I am no longer using my central vacuum system.  When I brought this upright home, I was horriffied at what it picked up that my central vacuum was leaving behind!  My downstairs is hardwood floors with the exception of a bedroom and wool area rugs here and there...  before I was done, I emptied the canister 4 times!  I couldn't believe the amount of fuzzies it was pulling up out of the rugs.  The suction is great even when using the attachments.  Yes it is a heavy vacuum, but the benefits far exceed the weight issue.  The dirt indicators...

“Excellent!”

This vacuum is great. Besides being able to "see" the dirt my other vacuum missed, I've noticed that it's also bringing back the carpets "piling" if that's the correct terminology. In other words, I can see my footprint in the carpet now and that wasn't happening with my other vacuum. My previous vacuum was the blue Kenmore Progressive with a bag. This new bagless Progressive vacuum has much more suction.

“Overall very nice - excellent suction power”

Very good suction power, which is what I cared most about. I have a couple cats, and this thing always picks up a ton of hair in their favorite lounging spots after just a few days. The dirt sensor feature is cool, and seemed to work excellent at first, but after just a few weeks, it usually just stays on the max setting, like my carpet is always dirty no matter how much I vacuum. This may be because my carpet was extremely dirty at first, and I've just got clean the thing out really well, but it's kind of annoying. Aside from the above, no other complaints; very easy to use, nice long cord,... read full review »

“Incredible Cleaning Power”

I have two dogs who love to bring in "treasures" from the outdoors which might include gumballs, leaves, or even small sticks. This vacuum cleaner did not hesitate in picking up everything in its path on both carpet and hardwood floors. The amount of pet hair it sucked up was amazing. Only one of my dogs sheds, but there was enough hair in the canister to make a stuffed animal by the time I was through cleaning. The canister is also very easy to "dump" into the garbage. I would highly recommend this vacuum to anyone with pets or even those without who just want extra clean floors and carpet.

“Upright Vacuum”

I am very impressed with this vacuum. I was a skeptic, but seeing is believing. I had to empty the bagless container twice on the first vacuum of about 750 square ft. I was flabbergasted that that much dog fur and dust was not being picked up by my old vacuum. The only thing that I do not like is how clogged the filter gets. It gets caked with the fine dust particles and is messy to clean up.

“AWESOME!!”

I just bought this vacuum yesterday, I got it on sale ( for only $280.00) It is awesome. I was very please with this vacuum. I have had more expensive vacuum, you know the ones the " never loose suction" and they have not worked out, this one not only got up all of the pet hair but kept going after wards. If you are a pet owner then I HIGHLY recommend this product. I have 14 cats and 6 dogs, so I put this vacuum to the test and it came out perfect!!

“Glad I splurged”

I thought it was indulgent to buy such a high-end vacuum, but I'm glad I did. I bought it on a friend's recommendation, and I'll recommend it to others. It cleaned the hardwood floors beautifully - no second pass with a swiffer. The carpets look great. The mini attachment pulled so much dust out of the sofa that it's two shades darker now. Very easy to use on the stairs. The air feels cleaner, and my house looks a hundred times better. Well worth it.

“Good cleaning but cheaply made”

This vacuum does an outstanding job of cleaning.  We have four large breed dogs that require daily vacuuming and this product does a very good job of picking up hair from carpets and bare floors.  The exhaust is located above the floor which limits blowing the hair and dust away from the suction.  Unfortunately, the vacuum is made mostly of inferior plastic which does not stand up to daily use.  The removable cannister is the worst part.  The handle has broken twice, and we have had to send our vacuum to be repaired - not for the motor, but for the cheap plastic parts that continue to fail...

“This is the cat's meow!”

I have to say, this vacuum has exceeded my expections!  I am a real clean freak, but now have realized that the vacuum that I have been using for the past 10 years has not done a good job and my carpet was not clean as I thought.  I could tell right away when I used it and the amount of dirt/lint/dust it was picking up.  Within the first three days of owning this I have vacuumed the entire house 4 times.  I am now starting to see I am making some headway.  It should be noted that I just steam cleaned the entire house before I started to use this so I thought my carpet was clean.  The...
