Great vacuum...... but they could have spent a few more dollars on the quality of the attachments!

First time out of the box read the manual and easy to assemble. Vacuum felt well made and everything went together well. Ran it on family room carpet and said to myself...whoa this has some suction. My carpet hasn't been this clean for some time. Agitator really dug down deep and pulled up the carpe...

The vacuum handle doesn’t go down low enough to allow the carpet vacuum head to go under furniture The vacuum head doesn’t have good lights to see what you’re sucking up!! The maneuverability is really tight and for a piggy vacuum it’s hard to push. It doesn’t vacuum area rugs well at all and it’s h...

I bought this a year ago and after dreading using this thing every time I drag it out I decided to write a review. The bags do not fit properly as there is dust inside the vacuum and around the attachments. I have tried several bags some I have destroyed trying to make them fit. It is heavy and bulk...

Took 3 tries before we got one that worked!!!

Took them 3 times of replacing it before we got one that worked! First one started making a flapping nose after about three weeks, took 3 weeks for them to replace it! Second one smelled hot! and lasted about 20 minutes and quiet, took 4 weeks for them to replace it! Third one is still working!!! Bu...

The clip holding the hose into the machine broke within the warranty period. I’ve been waiting over 4 months, haven’t gotten the part yet. That makes me less likely to recommend a Kenmore machine.

A quality vacuum but pricey

So I LOVE Kenmore vacuums because of their reliability and they get the job done right! I've had at least 4 - which says a lot because it's the only brand I've owned in my 75 years. We have established they last, they have great suction and a variety of tool attachments. This one is bigger, heavier ...

Good vacuum with a few quirks

OK, it works well, has been very dependable for a year & a half & I think it's maneuverability is just fine. The suction is good - it's not Miele good, but it's also not a $1000 vacuum. Here's what I see as the quirks & foibles of the unit. 1) Where the hose meets the canister connection & where it ...

At this time, I've only had the vacuum for a week and used it a couple of times. I am impressed at the suction when using the power head for carpet. Lightweight and easy to maneuver. The telescoping wand is awesome! What I am totally unimpressed with are the attachments. WIMPY!!! Too small and cheap...

Great for everything but carpet/rugs

I have an older home and two small dogs and the dust and fur is insane. Had a rechargeable stick vacuum from years ago, and it wasn’t powerful enough to get the job done. Bought an upright from a well-known brand and while the suction was great, it was a one-trick-pony that couldn’t do upholstery or...

I've been a Kenmore canister vacuum owner for last 30+ years. I bought the BC3005 for special price of 228 which was 30 cheaper than Orange 200 series model that I intended to buy for 249. I currently have the Orange model bought before Sears closed in 2016 that is still working fine. This new one i...
