Kenmore BU4050 Intuition Bagged Upright Vacuum, liftup Cleaner with Hair Eliminator brushroll, pet Handi-Mate for Carpet, Hard Floor, Rose Gold

I just teied out my new vacuum! I really do like it . First of all the color is fun, it has great suction power, my carpet looks so much better already. Really did give the carpet strands a lift. This is my first swivel head vacuum also, it is a little narrow, and I wasn't sure I would like that,but it is perfect. Light weight, easy to maneuver around furniture and corners. The wand release is handy and easy to use. ( already tackled a few spider webs) I know I wiil also like that you can remove the canister to carry around and especially the stairs.

This is the best vacuum I ever had! First off I absolutely love that It has a bag! I have had this vacuum for over two months and still have not had to change it out and I hate having the dump those canisters which just make a mess. I really love the swivel feature of it because it really gets into areas a regular vacuum doesn’t. It has a bright light on it so you can really see under tables. It is very lightweight and has an extremely long cord. The suction is incredible. And it almost feels like it’s self-propelled. Another feature that I love is that the brush roller button is on top so it’s very easy to switch without having to bend all the way over to the floor. It is also significantly quieter than any other vacuum I’ve owned. I highly recommend this vacuum. I truly am crazy over it and so glad I found it!

This vacuum is the bee’s knees! Not only is she so pretty, she is a beast! Suction is off the charts good (almost too good because I can’t actually vacuum my washable rugs because the suction is so strong it sucks up the whole thing). However, I don’t have to mess with those ridiculous canisters that fill up in five minutes or clog up every two. Bags are back in style and I’m here for it. I’ve used this beauty at least once a week for the endless dog hair I have floating around and I’m still on the first bag that came with her. She also comes with extra bags (that I made sure you could purchase going forward), and I love that there is a light that indicates how full the bag is getting and when it needs to be changed. I also love the feature that allows you to detach the canister/body from the bottom so if you’re doing stairs or high corners you only need to carry around the canister/body not the whole thing. Lightweight enough for me to move around easily. My only complaint would be the tube, it stretches but it’s the plastic kind that is very stiff and often doesn’t stretch far enough or easily enough to be able to leave the canister on the floor and use the “wand” with both hands because the canister is almost too lightweight. Despite that, Overall, worth every cent coming from someone who hates vacuuming in general. I could not be happier.

I bought this vacuum as a Valentines Day gift for myself. So far. I'm in love with it. It arrived in good condition, its very beautiful. I love that Rose gold color! 😍 It was easy to put together, When I used it, it had a very powerful suction, it was easy to vacuum tight corners, i like how it moves, very quiet compared to other vacuums I had used. The reason, I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because, on certain carpet/fabric the brush roll will stop, i guess due to the thickness of the carpet. I noticed it will vacuum all other carpets EXCEPT shag rugs without the brush roll shutting off, (had to use the hose and attachments for vacuuming thick shag rugs) and also I wish the bags were a bit larger and holded more dirt, but other than that, I think I made a good choice! It's worth the money!

Boy, does this thing suck! By that, I mean it sucks up everything - dog hair, cat hair, dirt, crud around the wood stove. I LOVE this vacuum! It swivels and turns on a dime, lays down flat to go under furniture, is lightweight and so handy. I like that the handle snaps out to clean corners and edges, then pops right back into the body to continue vacuuming the carpet. It's also great that the tools and extensions from my 40 year old Kenmore fit this machine - the longer crevice tool, softer brush, extension tubes and flexible hoses! I just hope this little machine has a long life.

First, I find bagged vacuums much easier to use and worth the expense of bags, especially after-market ones. I hate constantly washing filters and the canister is just a big dust magnet on the outside. Then I have to go outside to empty them. Hate them! A bag I change once every 2-3 months and I'm done. I've never found any of them difficult to put on or off and I have arthritis. Pros: 1) Good suction through the bottom and the hose. It picks up cat litter easily, unlike the Bissell Cleanview I just tried. 2) Smaller swivel head to get between things. Even if I need to replace the $14 part every few years. Steers nicely! No more banged up woodwork! 3) Has bags! 4) Hose quality is good, overall quality feels very good. Everything snaps together nicely. 5) HEPA, I have allergies and the others leak so badly. 6) Longer cord, I can reach my entire house from one outlet! 7) Comes apart. 8) Easy to put together, just snap together, no screws. 9) No height adjustment, does it automatically? So far worked everywhere. Nice to not reach down to adjust. MEH: 1) Good assortment of tools with this model. Cost like $10 more, but these were the tools I wanted. I've had the rotating pet hair tools from Hoover, like 5, all stopped working after not too long. We'll see how this one works. Simple crevice tool, but has holes to cover to adjust suction level, it's too short though. Dusting brush bristles are too stiff and short for dusting, boo. The furniture tool is wider than most and I like the velvet hair remover part. It will also be needed to get underneath furniture, so floor and furniture use? Kinda yucky. Stored too low on machine. 2) Wish the metal extension tube came apart. Sometimes it's too long or too short for some jobs. 3) Since all vacuums now have the exhaust blowing out the front, this one does a decent job diffusing it and blowing it more up. Others, in tight spots like my bedroom, just blow the dirt and hair into my bed! Could still be better. 4) Only holds two of the four attachments. 5) Lower cord wind thing is too low. 6) Hard to lift to do dog beds or thresholds. I have to lift the whole vacuum up and head flops down. Can't just tilt up, handle doesn't lock into a mid position. I'd rather have a latch that I step on and get two handle positions. Cons: 1) It's surprisingly heavy to hold up, the motor is not on the head so you support its weight. Takes some getting used to and I'm not that old yet, but consider. I don't mind the exercise. 2) Why not exhaust out the back or diffuse more? 3) Forget about getting underneath furniture. The canister is huge and not flat! You have to use the attachments. Too bad they can't make a HEPA cloth bag over a bag... those were the best! 4) The clunky handle is taking getting used, too. I prefer a simple straight piece. The angle can be awkward sometimes. Quite heavy with the metal extension and, again, it would be nice if were two. Update: HATE IT! 5) WTH! (See photo) Why did you put the hook on the extension tube!?! It is really hard to get into small spaces but of the big plastic connections on the metal extension tube. (See photos.) That damn monstrosity of a handle!!!!! 6) Hose too short, I have to lift the vacuum to reached an 8' ceiling! Awkward and the handle and extension tube are heavy! There aren't that many bagged models to choose from. I've mostly used Hoovers, tried Bissell's and others. I'd love to design my own vacuum cleaner! Disliking it the more I use it. Originally gave it 3 stars. Not sure I'll keep it, but NO ONE MAKES ONE THAT IS DESIGNED DECENTLY. Contact me if you do, price is no object!

I just used this vac for the first time tonight, so I can't comment on how long it will last. But it was easy to put together, and if I can do that, anyone can. It came with a bag already on it, and came with three extra. It's light, easy to use, and so far has good suction. I hate vacuum cleaners, it's the household job I dislike the most. So for a vacuum to seem pretty good is saying a lot for me. So far I'm pleased with it. If it doesn't last for some reason i will add to this review. My ten year old vacuum seems like a dinosaur compared to this one. One month later 1/25- I love it! Its nice and light and is so easy to push, and I like the way it turns around making it easier to get around furniture legs, etc. I also like the handle on the front so you can lift if up easily if it needs to be lifted over the corner of a scatter rug, or it you want to vacuum the stairs without bothering to put it down to use the hose with a brush attachment. My old Kenmore did not have a handle on the front and it was very hard to lift . This one has good suction, cleans nicely. Easy spot to reach with the on/off button. Easy to switch from bare floor to rug. I hate vacuuming, I have all my life. But so far i love this vac and I don't dread vacuuming as much . Very happy with this item so far, hope it continues to be good. 3/25- still loving this vac. i haven't even had to change the bag yet ( not that I vac that much). I rolled that old one out to the curb, it still worked, just heavy and bulky. Someone took it for free. That made the guy happy. 6/25 Still in love with this vacuum. One other thing that I just noticed, when I'm vacuuming, there are these little lights near the start button that light up telling you how fill the bag is. So far two lights have popped on, telling me the bag is half full. There is one more regular light, then a fourth one that says "time to change bag". I love it! -

This vaccuum SUCKS! As it should. Great product, exorcised my carpet which was gray and now is a lighter shade of gray. It’s heavier than the Dust Devil I had, but I guess all that sucking powder has weight. I love that it has a little light at the front so you can see even if it’s a little dim. I had actual fun vacuuming my entire apartment yesterday which hasn’t happened in, ever. Also it has good attachments, even the pet hair one sucks very well. Can’t speak of its durability just yet, but I do some extensive research on this brand and specific model before buying it and it appears to be durable. I also love the disposable bags versus having to empty the dust bag every time. It comes with a bag inside and a few extra ones. One of my favorite parts is the fact that it’s corded, so I don’t have to rush because of the battery. The cord is very long. Just put it over your shoulder and walk around vacuuming. And since I can see how much it’s cleaning, I don’t feel the need to go over the same area multiple times. Recommend.

They gave me a vacuum with a US power cord 😭, so even if I use an adapter it trips my kitchen, bedroom etc. USA use 110v unlike in Europe so I don't know why they sold it to me. Or it is just broken from the start but I guess it's because it's from USA

***4 months later*** Its been 4 months of bi-weekly vacuuming 3 carpeted floors and it is holding up great! I haven't even had to change the bag yet, the indicator doesn't even show it as half full, this I'm very impressed by considering non-bagged vacuums have to be emptied seemingly every time you use it. And the brushroll has really impressed me, I have long hair and shed and haven't had to cut a single hair off the brush roller! Only thing it doesn't cut through is my cotton polyester sewing thread which is an endorsement for the thread lol. But seriously the brush roll is pristine no hair tangles at all! I'm thinking of buying a couple more just to have one on each floor and it would probably end up costing less than so called high end models. Totally Recommend.*** Great suction! Just ordered and got this last night, I ran it over two of my fully carpeted floors and it did a wonderful job picking up debris and leaving them nice and clean. I really like it so far and am looking forward to seeing how much I can vacuum without having to change the bag, that's always the downside of a no bag vacuum is emptying them basically has to be done outside and often, it also means you clean the filter more often so i find them more high maintenance. I have a 3 story house with mostly carpets throughout so most of these stick type vacuums just wont do the job for me, forget about robot vacuums, but dragging around a cannister or an full upright is a real pain. I really enjoy the lift away part of this vacuum for doing the stairs for that reason. I know some have mentioned that the path or the main brush roll size seems smaller not as wide an area than normal vacuums but i prefer it, i have lots of carpet but i also live in a house built in 1970 so there's lots of odd little corners that are hard to get into but not with this one. I especially like the upholstery attachment is wider than most and the detachable wand, as noted i have a funky house from the 70's and my stair steps are quite narrow and thin, I've only ever found the upholstery attachment will do a proper job on the stairs, it takes some elbow grease more than a motorized attachment or the main brush roll but it actually cleans it better, so I'm quite glad the attachment is narrow enough but a little wider than usual for the job. It certainly looks a little less than sturdy, more like a toy, than compared to brands like dyson and what not but i have so far found it very sturdy and not cheap as it looks. I have a very fluffy cat and this thing picked up all her fur, haven't tested the so called no tangle brush roll out yet - i have long hair that sheds - and thats always a pain to clean, I was looking into a vacuum that has an easy to take out and clean brush roll but they are out of my budget so im hoping this one holds up will with a bit of trimming occasionally. Overall I am happy with this purchase, it suits my strange but almost entirely carpeted house and the limitations of trying to clean it.

This is an impressively powerful and beautiful vacuum cleaner. It's completely functional and has giant bags.

DO NOT BUY IN THE UK. Has a US plug and US voltage.

The best of all worlds! Bagged vacuums are less messy in general; this one has a great mechanism that keeps the bag self-contained even when changing it out. It's an upright vacuum, it's a canister vacuum, it's lightweight yet rugged, it has excellent suction and maneuvers easily. I have never been so excited by purchasing a new vacuum cleaner as this one! Does the trick in a household with four cats, no less!
