I just bought this Vaccuum less than a month ago..it is a Kenmore Intution from Sears and well I love the Vaccuum but I really didn't like the price tag. It is very easy to use...I like canisters though...those of you who like uprights might not like the canister. My 5 year old loves to use it as well. I like that the power runs down to the actual cleaner. My mom has a vaccuum that you use a battery to charge it for extra sucking power, the battery doesn't work well on hers. I like this idea much better. It has great sucking power and works well on carpet and hardwood, as well as tile.
We are returning the Kenmore Intuition vacuum. It is the worst vacuum I have ever own and I have been using vacuums for 55 years. It pushes hard and does not handle the best with the long vacuum hose. Why does it need push power and not have power to move on its own? What a waste of money!!!!!
