Features & Specs - Kenmore Intuition 29914
Bag Denotes whether the model has a disposable bag. A growing number of vacuums, particularly upright models, use a container that can be emptied eliminating the bag. However, to capture the fine-dirt particles, these models must use a filter (such as a HEPA filter), which can need regular cleaning, or replacement. Replacement filters tend to be significantly more expensive than bags. While vacuums with bags may also use filters, the bag acts as a prefilter that helps to keep the fine-dirt filter cleaner thus extending its performance between cleaning or replacement. Another caveat: Emptying the dustbin and cleaning a filter can be messy, and handling it may expose you to dust and other allergens. Bag	Yes
Brush on/off This feature allows you to turn off the brush when using tools or cleaning bare floors, eliminating any hazard should the vacuum tip over while you have the hose extended. Brush on/off	Yes
Easy on/off A switch that's located on the handle or where your foot can activate it is more convenient than one on the body of the vacuum. Easy on/off	Yes
Manual-pile adjust Adjusts the height of the machine to a carpet's pile height to allow for easy movement and thorough cleaning. Adjustments are automatic on some models, but we prefer the manual control afforded by some models. Manual-pile adjust	Yes
Weight (lbs.) Weight of the vacuum cleaner, to the nearest pound. Weight (lbs.)	24

Unreliable

Describe Yourself:

Frequent User

Primary use:

Personal

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I have been using Kenmore canister vacuum cleaner for 22 years . First one bought in 1987 and lasted for 12 years. Second one lasted for 6 years and the motor from the powermate was gone. The belts broke 3 times in its 6 years life.Third one bought in 2007. The light bulbs from the powermate head went off in 6 months. The main motor didn't work in 2.5 years. Estimated repair is $400.What happen to these [...]products. Shouldn't the motor be the last to go dead? [...]

not as good as 27515

By Karla House Cleaning Service from Charlotte, NC on 10/4/2009

Pros:

Easy To Empty, Easy to Use, Efficient, Lightweight, Long Power Cord, Powerful/Good Suction

Best Uses:

Carpet, Hardwood Floors, Pet Hair, Stairs, Tile Floors

Describe Yourself:

Professional Cleaner

Primary use:

Business

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

If you read my review about the 27515, the only thing to add to this is that the pile-height adjust is good for casual users, it is easier on your back if you drag the canister (I carry the caninster with one hand and vaccum with the other, it is light weight so I dont need to use the pil-height adjust) But after time the pile-adjust wears off so that if you put too much pressure it just retracts.
Aside from this little thing, wich will last you a year, and unless you buy the extended warranty, it is not cover, so you are better off buying the 27515 and saving money including the extended warranty

I have a Great Dane and a cat. I usually go thru vacuums on a regular basis. This vacuum is great. The pet hair comes right up and my favorite feature is the stairs. So easy and picks up so good in all the corners. I will never get a lesser model than this. Awesome.
