Kenmore Progressive Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Inteli-Clean System Slate Blue (35922) Reviews

After two months of normal use, the hose detached from the back--at a place where the hose is not supposed to detach. Returned it to the store for an exact replacement. The warranty started anew the day I picked up the replacement. I hope the first vacuum was an isolated incident.

I like the vacuum's suction power and Inteli-Clean feature for the area rugs. Although it picks up most stuff on the tile floors, I've seen it blow away some particles as well. The attachments work well along wall edges.

I find placing the hose back in it's holder at the bottom a bit difficult, but I do like that there...

I've had this vacuum for three years, and I just purchased new shag carpet.  The Hi setting/carpet which I was told by the salesperson to use, does not permit the vacuum to roll properly over the carpet.  Plus, I have roller brush marks throughout the carpet.  It's extremely difficult to push and pull the vacuum across my new carpet. I'm also concerned that the vacuum motor will burn. I'm not a strong person, so I will definitely need to purchase a new vacuum or risk physical injury to myself. 

We purchased the Kenmore Progressive upright vacuum cleaner based upon the recommendation of a 'leading consumer magazine'. It was on sale and the price was right. Although it was quite heavy and took some lifting to get it upstairs; we were satisfied with its performance. There was one major problem, however. All of the outlets in the second story of our town home are protected by arc fault breakers (ARC). Every time that the vacuum cleaner was plugged in upstairs; as soon as the brushes kicked in, the breaker associated with that outlet switched off. I consulted with an electrician and his...

This vacuum works very good. But it is very heavy so if you want muscles, this is the vacuum for you. The suction is great, but even with the reduced suction button pressed for area rugs, the suction is still too much. So it's great if you don't have small area rugs. It doesn't get close to baseboards either, but all the other advantages out weight these 2 minor inconveniences. The attachment hose takes a little getting used to as it fits so snugly into it's place that it's hard to push back in. But having it is very convenient. The small rotating brush attachment (used for furniture) isn't...

The ONLY bad thing I can say about this vac is that I wish the brush was angled differently or there was a ceiling brush.  Other than that I couldn't ask for a better vac!

I love this vacuum. You can use the floor setting to do light rugs. When u do regular carpet and use the inteli-clean, it senses how much suction is needed.

After vacuuming, my floors seem very clean. I love it.

I have two pets, so I vacuum a lot. Mostly bare floors with some area rugs thrown in. I use the attachments every time I vacuum, although I think they could be better. The wand is poorly designed because; 1) it doesn't lock onto the hose, and 2) the wand keeps collapsing into itself. A dab of duct tape fixed the collapsing, but now it's always long.

Now for the pros; it is very powerful. I love going back to a bag system, I found the cups a pain to empty outside in the winter, I live in the North East. It picks up very fine dust and pet hair like nothing else I've ever used.  The cord is long...

I have had this vacuum for one year now and I have been super happy with it.

The first few times vacuuming it takes a bit longer with the intelli-clean because it is catching up on all the years I vacuumed with a less deep cleaning vacuum.  The intelliclean lit up to red on all of our carpets (both at home and at the office) and after working for a awhile catching up it eventually went to green).  After the initial couple times the carpet took much less time because the amount of imbedded dirt was substantially reduced.  I have to admit that the carpet looked so much better - very revitalised,...

When I went to Sears to buy this vacuum, I had already checked a publication that rates appliances; I knew exactly what I was looking for when I walked into the store.  This model was rated higher than a much-advertised, more expensive brand, and it deserves the rating! Its suction power makes cleaning our area rugs and hardwood floors a breeze--we have two dogs and two bird cages (doghair, feathers, seed all over!!!), and this vacuum takes care of everything.  The only thing I can't, for the life of me, figure out, is why there is no "on-board" capability for the attachments.  Being able to...

     The Kenmore Progressive Upright Vacuum Cleaner is very impractical if you live in a normal house. If, in your normal house, you have carpeted stairs, please do not buy this vacuum. If you ignore this warning, I personally garauntee that you will become very frustrated, which will lead you to either act out aggressivley towards your vacuum, or talk an innocent bystander's ear off about how much you hate it. If you have carpeted stairs, DO NOT BUY.

     Also, if you would like to end up with an inch and a half of uncleaned carpet all along your walls, go ahead, spend the money and don't...

I really love my Kenmore Progressive upright vacuum, I have two dogs with alot of dog hair all over and this is the first vacuum that picks up all the dog hair, even when they come in with mud on their paws, I just let the mud dry and vacuum it up and "WOW" all gone mud. I've had my vacuum for 1 year and I think it great. For a great price you really get a good vacuum  

Purchased this vacuum a year ago when I had thick pile carpet and the vacuum did a wonderful job.  It's not the lightest vacuum ever, but even at my small size (5'2"), the vacuum is easily manueverable.  We put laminate floors throughout the whole house three months ago and the vacuum's numerous attachments are SUCH a life saver.  I also love the mini-vacuum attachment for removing pet hair from couches and delicate rugs.  Also, though this vacuum isn't sold as "pet hair friendly", I've never had a problem with clogs.  Highly recommend this vacuum.

I had been looking for a new sweeper for a while, when a friend recommended this one to me.  I love it.  It works great, and doesn't wear me out pushing it around the house.  Not so loud that it scares my dog, who doesn't run away and hide when it comes out.
