“Great vacuum--but hard to maneuver”
I've had this vaccum for about 9 months now. My previous vaccum was low-power, bagless, and under $100. This Kenmore has so far met my expectations in terms of power and HEPA filtration. We have two cats and this vaccum does a great job picking up litter and fur on carpet and furniture. My biggest complaints are the lack of edge cleaning (there really is about a 2-3 inch gap along baseboards that doesn't get vacuumed without using attachments) and the weight/maneuverability. We live in a 2-bedroom apartment but recently started cleaning the stairs and hallways in our building for rent credit. As a small-framed woman, I have some difficulty carrying the Kenmore up and down two flights of stairs. The vacuum is also difficult to use in tight areas (it doesn't turn well). Overall, the strength of the suction power (including the attached hose) meets all my needs, and I love the HEPA bags compared to cleaning out a bagless machine (we're only now needing to change the bag). But if I were to buy another vaccum, I'd look for something lighter with a tighter turn radius to meet our apartment-living needs.
