Kenmore Friendly Lightweight Bagless Compact Canister Vacuum with Pet Powermate, HEPA, Extended Telescoping Wand, Retractable Cord and 2 Cleaning Tools, Eggplant

This vacuum is amazing. Great suction. Advice for people who might be new to it. Rinse vacuum filter frequently and let dry and replace if you see lots of dirt not able to come out of filter. Don't let it get too full as it's harder to empty especially if you have pets. If hair gets wrapped around the inner section where dirt goes you will loose suction. I have used these vacuums for my cleaning business for at least 10 years. They are light weight and with grreat suction. Second to Central vac and I've ownedthe super expensive vacuums as well. It doesn't come with bare floor piece so be sure to buy that attachment.

Love it

Having issues with the vacuum hose assembly not making contact at the handle that goes down to the wand. As for now everything else is working great.

I purchased this vaccum in August 2022 and in January 2023 the floor and carpet mechanism no longer worked. I called the Warranty department and they replaced the entire vaccume, but the warranty on the replacement starts when the original vacuum was purchased? So if this one also fails in 5 months, I’m out of a vacuum?? That hardly seems fair! I use this vacuum once a week, it is not overused and should not of stopped working so soon.I like how it works, with the exception that the dog hair collects up high in the bag less container and you need a screwdriver to pull it out. Not a well designed canister. We have one small dog, so not a lot of hair and a 2, 000. Ft. Home. She has to empty the canister twice and pull out the collection of stuff that gets stuck. I’ll bag a canister with a bag next time.I was sent a replacement vacuumed and it had the exact same problem at 5 months and quit working.If you call to receive a credit, they tell you that your manufactures warranty is only for a year, even if you have not had a functional model. There is a duck and dodge with no accountability. NO more kenmore products for me.

My wife and I purchased one of these vacuums (125.22614610) via Amazon three or four years ago, and were very much favorably impressed - easy to use, and very powerful on our carpets. Although reasonably lightweight, it was something of a hassle for us older folks to carry it up and down stairs, so in April 2024 we bought a second one, for the second floor. The second machine had a problem - the motorized power-head attachment (for vacuuming carpet) worked fine when pushing it forward, but when pulling it back it lost power. After six months of procrastination, we got serious about diagnosis. Owning two of the same model, we were able to swap in parts and thereby to learn the problem was with the aluminum wand tube that connects the handle to the power-head. The machine was still under its one-year warranty. I called the service phone number provided and described the problem, and our diagnostic work, to a knowledgeable and courteous native-English-speaker, who promptly volunteered to send us a replacement "wand," which indeed arrived promptly (no charge) and has solved the problem. So - great customer service.I learned, in the process, that the word "aspiradora," which appears on the cover of the user's manual, is the Spanish word for vacuum cleaner, not, as I had ignorantly assumed, the model designation of this particular machine!

After using this vacuum for a few months two days a week, I can say that I do like it. I like that it is a powerful vacuum for a pretty good price. However, I hate emptying the dustbin. For a machine that says it is dog friendly I think the dustbin is a really bad design. Dog hair and dust clogs little holes and gets stuck in a little chamber that is only like a half an inch so it's really really hard to get out the leftover hair. If you don't, you will notice that the vacuum isn't as strong as if that hair wasn't stuck in there. After messing with getting it out now i just blast it with my leaf blower to clean out the dust basket.

First, I had a Kenmore canister with a bag for 20 years. Bought it in VA in 2005. Used it all the time. I have birds so I needed to have the hepa filter. For the last three years I was getting bags and filters from Amazon. Always had what I needed. The recoil cord started to get slow on rewind, and I had to make one repair to the cord. Well after last weekend of cleaning, I was finishing some area rugs, when I smelled the motor and saw little smoke coming out. I knew then, she was tired. Rest in peace my little red roll around.So online like everyone else, I started digging. I found this one and did some thinking. HUMMMMM.Well I figured the pole that I had will fit the new pole and I can make a longer extension to reach high dust and cobwebs. Yup it does. Does not have a floor attachment, which I like and not use the beater head, to do bare floors. A must need in my home.Well out of the box, plug in and see what happens. Had the beater head on and went over the area rugs real quick. Remember, I had just vacuumed the day prior. Well the beater has plenty of pull when you are on the low setting. Gets deep in the pile, and the suction is wonderful!I took it out to do the car. I had spent weekends moving a friend, and the SUV was crying to get dirt, dust, dog hair, and many other things. I put the little beater on the short handle and BAM! got hair and dirt out of the carpet. I have rubber floor mats, so that area was easy.It cleaned up everything. Best is that I can carry it around the car or put in the back to get around the rear windows and all the tight areas.So, over all, great little thing. Power, suction, manageability, are important. Since I took care of little red, (RIP) I hope that I get years of use with this one.
