    I purchased a canister vacuum model number BC 3060. The worst vacuum they ever made. It did not work. I called the customer service, they were rude, they said they were going to replace the hose until today January 15th no hose arrived at my home.

    This company is very disappointing. I first ordered a vacuum. They charged me and it’s more than two weeks and it still hasn’t come yet. They charged me so I have sent emails and two days and no reply back. I hope getting an update or give me a refund but I do not recommend this company but it’s good the first time but after making a few orders there’s no response or delivery but charge you.

    It is sensitive to dirt or dust. The light comes on to notify you and goes off when it is clear. When the bag needs replacement you are notified via a light too. It is lightweight and easy to handle.

    I have a Kenmore Elite, Model #125.31150610 I purchased approximately 5 years ago, and couldn't be happier! It has never broken down, and love how it leaves my carpet with that fluffy 3 rows look every time I vacuum. It is an upright vacuum and have to change the bags Old school style, but the bags aren't very expensive. I believe in reviews and did my research before purchasing my vacuum. It was reading reviews and the information gathering that helped my experience. Sharing my experience hopefully will help someone else make an informative decision also, Thank you..

    Most bang for your dollar. Controls are easy to use and understand, HEPA bags are very well made, but expensive. LED light is very helpful in low light areas and under furniture. This unit is on the heavy side, so if you're not a large person it will be difficult to carry around your home.

    I think you’re paying for the name. They work about the same as any of The other vacuums I’ve owned. I think they should have the option of putting getting more attachments or coming with more attachments.

    I've always had Kenmore vacuums, they are efficient, affordable, long life, and find bags easily. Instead of buying a vacuum brand that is trendy, it's important to stick with a solid and reliable brand such as Kenmore.

    Don't buy off this company. They are rip offs. Never received product or my refund. Suck, suck, rip offs. Never told me the same info. Never order from Kenmore. They will steal from you. Thief, thief, thief, suck.

    Kenmore "ain't what she used to be". Paid $400 for Elite Crossover and sadly it is a heap of junk. So clunky and cumbersome to use. Doors fly open, one blows off the back, canister doesn't roll easily, always flips over. Kenmore used to be my trusted brand. It has changed drastically and not for the better.

    We’ve used this vacuum to its limits from sucking up tons of long hair being we have 3 females, to a female dog and then cars that have been cleaned, this product was worth the purchase, unfortunately sears is gone and I refuse to buy my vacuum online and currently need HEPA for health issues. Will more than likely go to Miele C or CX series. Price point is $600-$1000. We will see how they are, but we really loved our Kenmore while they were around.

    When I first purchased my Kenmore canister vacuum about 20 years ago, I loved it. Sucks up everything without any issues. But, now I'm 48 years old, with a bad back, and not as flexible as I used to be. The wand really needs to be lighter in weight and longer so I don't have to strain to vacuum ceiling corners and my curtains. Plus, now I have all tile floors and really need a vacuum that's designed for those.

    Have always used Kenmore. Dependable product. I do think they can do a little better with the attachments. I’m on the second vacuum in 30 years so they last a good long time. I am very happy with the 25 foot electrical cord. I can do my whole first floor without having to change the outlet.

    I have bought several Kenmore canister vacs over the years. Each has worked well. I highly recommend this brand. They are very good at cleaning dog and cat hair, and goes easily from carpeted to hardwood and back.

    I’ve had this brand before and several others as well and came back to this one. Good suction, easy to handle, good edge cleaner, easy to assemble, tough. I’m not gentle with my appliances so they need to be tough. They last a very long time!

    Vacuum only came with one attachment and it never stays on. Sears was a brand I trusted. I don't know what happened but I don't plan on shopping there anymore. I've shopped there all my life. Every major appliance I own is a Kenmore. Very disappointed.

    The vacuum doesn't work well. Tried numerous things to fix it but it had never sucked super hard. It has great options but I have never been satisfied with this vacuum. I would never buy a Kenmore vacuum again.

    Have had this vacuum for many years and it still is giving good service. I much prefer canister vacs opposed to uprights and this one has been great. Had to replace the hose once due to being stepped on. Pretty rugged as it is pulled and jerked a lot. Would definitely buy another.

    I've been a salesperson for Eureka and Hoover. When visiting my sister in Mass., I used her vacuum and was amazed at the power. She had the upright Kenmore. I came home and bought myself a Kenmore just like hers that I had used. I've been using it for ten years now and I'm still amazed at the suction power. Love It!!!

    I purchased the item as a Christmas gift to myself and for 2 years it worked very well. Problems occurred when I needed to change attachments or change bags. The bags are difficult to remove and replace requires getting down on the floor and manipulating the clasp to make it secure. Also replacing bag seems to affect the light as it no longer works. Cleaning the interior is difficult, messy and time consuming as the dust and hair get into corners and other tight places. Changing attachments requires help of another person as parts don't want to fit together and once you remove brush and switch to the hose it is almost impossible to switch back even with the instruction manual.

    My machine works great and I like the attachments. The vacuum get right up to the edge of the carpet so there is no "wall woollies". With the attachments and the hose I can reach those ceiling corners that you kind of feel like you're needing to know how to climb mountains to get to them! I'm not so pleased with the process of changing the bags. I feel almost like I've sheared a lamb with the clumps of dirty hair that fly around and fall out. The blasted thing worked just fine until the 3 year warranty expired. 3 years plus 4 months it was in the shop because of engine problems. Overall though, I still own it 10 years later and it still works like a champ.

    Well when I first got the vacuum it work good. Fairly easy to use and I always purchased the HEPA filter bags to make it last longer. Now that you can't buy them anymore the bags aren't available.

    The Kenmore Magic Blue is a compact, very light, versatile and reliable tool. For its size it can provide adequate power for most jobs, can tuck away almost anywhere, and is extremely easy to operate. For a good reliable vacuum like mom used to have, the Kenmore Magic Blue fits the bill. Not designed for using in "wet" areas or on wet materials. General cleaning only. The power cord is spring retractable, no winding cords, the control for power and speed is on one switch located in the operating handle almost like a hair dryer. Kenmore did well with this one, this one is a keeper we will use again and again.

    It is one of the most reliable vacuum I’ve used and it does the job I ask it to do. I like the floor sweeper built in the carpet aspirator, compact and easy to switch. Kenmore Elite Is as heavy as most and doesn’t always roll easily but never heats up and stop working like other more expensive units I’ve had.

    Canister type vacuum with beater bar. Does excellent job of cleaning hardwoods and carpet. My bedroom has plush carpet and the beater bar gets down into the fibers to clean up dust, dog hair, and dirt. Lightweight and easy to pull, has a great hose that doesn't kink.

    My Kenmore canister is lightweight, has a great beater bar, does a great job on all my floors. No maintenance whatsoever except change the bags. The cord is 50 feet long which reaches the main areas of my house, the cord has the auto reel feature which all I need to do is press the lever and the cord retracts itself back into the vacuum. Love it. Highly recommend.

    Bought this vacuum during Black Friday and it has been wonderful. I don't know about the warranty. I haven't had to use it. The attachments work great. It is easy to clean and get rid of the dirt you vacuum up. I can't think of any problems except maybe just a little heavy but overall it is good.

    Suction not great, lots of noise and everything is made cheap and not to last. Farmed out for cheap labour. Poor quality and price high and consumers do not save. Kenmore used to have a great name for durability and quality. No longer as it sounds like a cheap tin can.
