This vacuum does EXACTLY what I wanted it to do--provide me a quick, lightweight, and easy way to do light vacuuming in between heavier cleanings. It is nice and light but substantial enough, easy to handle and operate, has good suction, and a bonus, handheld vac that is very portable for small clean-ups. Price is great and value is as well. Totally happy with this purchase and can recommend without reservation. Read more

This item works great in my house on wood floors with lots of dog (and people) hairs on them! It even works well on carpets for quick cleanings. My only real issue is that the battery isn't super long lasting. I can ALMOST make it around two floors of the home but it dies before I can get to every room. Otherwise I would recommend as it is small and light as a feather so it's easy to carry up and down the stairs for a quick vacuum in between deeper cleanings or right before company comes over - the perfect quick vac for wood floors. It's easy to empty as well. Power is decent but not super strong. My biggest issue would be battery life, followed by strength of suction, but the suction is less of an issue on wood floors. For carpets, this might not be the one for you Read more

As a mama, I love this cordless. It's easy to clean up the hardwood floors as well as our carpets. We've had this now for almost two years and have had no issues. Definitely make sure to clean and maintain the vacuum, checking the hose and cleaning filters but we've had no issues. It cleaned up pine needles from our live Christmas tree as we cleaned up from the holidays, no issues. I also love the detachable handheld. We also love that it still leaves stripes on the carpet. Efficiently cleans, don't have to keep going over spots. Great value for money! Read more

After spending 4+ hours online looking for a very lightweight but well-reviewed vacuum when my Shark bit the dust, (literally and figuratively,) I purchased this Kenmore vacuum. I had HIGH hopes for it. Cordless, which is great since I have a 3 story house and have to lug it up and down stairs, changing the plugs to nearest the stairs. I put it together almost instantly (loud clicks as it went into place) -- and put it on the charging stand for 5 hours. The light blinked as it should when charging, and then stopped when it was finished. I removed it from the charging stand, turned it on and NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING. It did not work, period. Then I decided to unsnap the liftaway part of the vacuum, turned it on and it blazed into action. Very loud and powerful. But as soon as I clicked it back onto the larger vacuum, it did not work. DEAD. I spent almost 45 minutes on the phone with Kenmore (after waiting on hold for 22 minutes) -- they had no solution. Could not send a new charging base (would take weeks), and said, "Send it back to Amazon." HA HA. Did you ever try to get the many parts of any machine back in the original packaging (all the little dents/holes/compartments in the packing material where all the "things" go?) I spent an hour trying to get all parts reassembled in the original packing material (and I am good with jig saw puzzles, but I failed at this). Oh -- and I forgot to also say it took me 30 minutes with a screwdriver trying to push down the round "release button" so I could get the top part of the vacuum handle detached from the body. It would not release. I now have to get a new manicure as my nails were destroyed in the attempt. I finally had to stand on the handle with a screwdriver pushed into the "release" button and do the splits to get the part to detach. I was covered in sweat by this time. Finally I got it all smashed into the original box without all the packing material, held the box together with my chest (husband out of town) -- and taped it over and over again so as to take it to Kohl's for Amazon return. --- On the way to Kohl's, it started to buzz LOUDLY inside the box. Yes, the top part of the "breakaway" vacuum had happily turned on from the on/off switch inside the box somehow. That was the part that had charged completely. I had to return to the house to unpack it all, take off the 30 feet or more of packing tape I had used to secure the box, and then build a little cardboard cup to put over the on/off so it would not somehow turn on again in the box. Spent another 15 minutes trying to close the box with my body and both arms and hands, and then took it in for exchange. All in all, it was a total waste of my entire day. The only good part -- I probably lost about 1000 calories in the attempt. For less than $100, you would think Kenmore could send another vacuum, but no, even telling them I was 76 years old and was not able to easily re-pack it, they were not helpful, I am sorry to say. No compassion whatsoever. I should have read the one star reviews before I wrote this one. Someone mentioned they CALLED Amazon to explain they could not detach the top part of the handle, and thus could not fit it into the original box for a return (it was also defective). And Amazon just sent them a new one without their having to send the defective vacuum back. But on the other hand, I have NO desire to own this vacuum anymore as it seems to have serious problems charging after the first few months. AVOID this product!! I just bought a Eureka (with cord) for $80 at WalMart and it is FABULOUS! Read more

I love this thing; it is at the top of my weight limit but I can still manage it fine. I have a long haired cat on top of that, so I needed a roller brush. It has some sort of hair cutter feature on the roller but I never bothered to figured that out; I just use my little scissors old school style. It also picks up cat litter and small kibble without it falling out. It's great for the usual household dirt as well. A flashing light alerts you to any roller problems. The charge seems to last pretty well. I wasn't crazy about buying a stick vac with a charger base but it's working out fine; I was just paranoid. The dust cup is clear so you can see what's going on. The detachable hand vac is easy to get on and off. I really combed over the selection of stick vacs that an arthritic old lady could handle and not add to our collection of unusable vaccums. I feel like I struck gold with mine! Read more
