After purchasing the much smaller 2024 Kenmore Intuition upright vacuum, I was so impressed with its powerful suction that I got this Kenmore Elite model. The Elite has a triple motor, is beltless and performs like a Cadillac of all upright vacuums! It is heavy and in a good, solid way. This is a quality, heavy duty vacuum and one that would be great for cleaning much larger, open spaces and/or an entire home.
CON's
-------
I only have 1 room carpeted or 1/4 of my 400 sq ft living space, with a thicker pile, and I soon found this vacuum performs much better on carpeting vs. hardware or bare flooring. Personally, I need a vacuum that will accommodate my 75% of bare flooring and much smaller spaces, with lots of nooks and crannies to get into.
There is a bare floor setting and so the brush bar stops spinning, but unfortunately it would not stop moving as the vacuum rolled back and forth, when powered both on and completely off. The brush is powerful and this will damage the bare flooring, which also defeats the feature to stop the brush bar from spinning. Maybe it was a flaw with just this one I received? I did not see other reviews mentioning it.
I was not disappointed! Yes, you have to manually adjust the height. No big deal. I need to do that once when I vacuum as we have shorter nap rugs in one area of our home. I then start in that area the next time. It is not self-propelled, but that's okay because if you have the height adjusted correctly, it will gently pull itself forward. Most of us need more physical activity anyway! I know I do. The hose is short-ish, but works for most of what I need to do with it and there is a wand for extra reach. The wand extends nicely. There are a couple of handy attachments as well, especially the mini-brush that spins using the force of the suction.
We have three cats, one of which is a long hair who leaves piles of fine hair everywhere and the Elite has no trouble getting those out of our short nap carpet.
Suction power is outstanding and when using attachments actually needs to be managed with the airflow gate on the hose. Maneuverability is fine, but because it isn't propelled by anything other than the spinning brush, it does take a little more effort than a self-propelled model. It is not "light weight", but I don't care about that. Like I mentioned, I like the physical aspect of using the machine.
Regarding comments that said the brushes wear out; What are these folks doing to make that happen??? Even when I have the height set lower than it should be (which you should realize immediately as the vacuum wants to pull fairly hard) I still cannot imagine wearing the brush out that fast. We've had this vacuum for some time and I've very happy with it.
A blue light on the nose of the machine lights up when you activate the brush then goes out after about 5 seconds. It will come on again when you go over an area with extra debris. My wife thinks it's a gimmick, but I like it because it will make me go over that area slowly until the light extinguishes, ensuring it's clean. This is typically where the felines favorite resting spots are, or near the entries to the house or around the fireplace. The LED "headlights" work great as well and really light up dark areas under furniture or in corners.
The vacuum does have a bag which I much prefer over the canister type vacuums as all dust, hair and dander is contained. There are also exhaust air filters. All of these work beautifully.
I don't have any Cons on this one; I love it and would by it again.
I have not used any of the attachment tools, so I cannot comment on those at this time. So far, I have used the machine to clean carpets and floors 3-4 times and I have been quite happy with its performance. Now, whether it will last as long as the prior Kenmore vacuum did - which I gather was far longer than the norm, as Consumer Reports says a vacuum's average life is 8 years - will be seen.

Still very good...maybe not as good suction as the old one though.
So, I ordered the same one again as this Vacuum sounds and looks great, not too loud and very smooth sounding, you can tell it has a solid motor, also I never had to replace anything on my olde one, no belt and the bags last a very long time between changes! It is not good on stairs but I don't have stairs to worry about anyways so it is not a concern for me!
Do yourself a favor and buy this Vacuum you will not be disappointed ! It makes your carpet look like new every time you vacuum!
