Kenmore Intuition Bagged Upright Vacuum
Verdict
The Kenmore Intuition Bagged Upright is a powerful yet relatively lightweight upright that shines in carpeted homes, with strong suction, lift-up portability and genuinely mess-free bag changes. It’s an excellent choice for allergy sufferers and pet owners with lots of rugs, though it’s less impressive on hard floors and struggles to reach under low furniture.
