I just bought the Kenmore 600 and used it for the first time today. Our last vacuum broke so we haven’t vacuumed in 3 weeks (ahhhh!) and I have two cats so I put it to work today. My carpet has never ever looked or felt cleaner. It far exceeded my expectations. 100% recommend.

I just got the Kenmore 600 series with power pet mate It's a bit heavy and my apartment isn't amazing for a cannister BUT it's great, powerful, picks up hair and has the handheld brushroll attachment for the couch. I'm extremely happy. Bought at $299.99

I’d recommend a Kenmore canister 600 series. They’re a solid performer. Reasons to get bagged and corded. Bagged keeps the suction and performance solid because filters can’t get clogged up. The Kenmore 600 series comes with an electric handheld powerhead that is great for removing hair from furniture. For the price point, Kenmore is the best. Lastly, canisters are superior to uprights when there are multiple surfaces because they can clean wall to wall and from floor to ceiling.

Sharks are definitely meant to be trashed after a year or two and lost suction quickly. Sebo and Miele are very expensive compared to Kenmore. Granted Sebo and Miele will last longer, however as long as you take care of your Kenmore it should last quite awhile.

Yes, that’s more in your price range. Sebo and Miele are in their 800’s and up. Kenmore 600

No one, that I have seen, says Kenmores are junk, on here. In fact, especially when someone has a budget of $500 or less I go right to the Kenmore line. Those who mention lots of pet hair, I also recommend the Kenmore 600. They’re very good vacuums.

I made the switch from bagels to bagged after I found a lightly used Kenmore 600 on eBay for $150. So far it’s been great.

I just bought one and used it for the first time this evening and so far my initial impressions are that it feels kind of cheap, it’s awkward to use and doesn’t stand alone without falling over, but it has a helluva motor and great suction, nice long cord, and the hand controls are pretty nice. For the price (bought at $250 on Amazon) it’s a great machine. I will eventually save up and purchase a Sebo E3, but in this economy the 600 will do just fine.

Everyone here is all about BIFL. I have a Kenmore 600. Consider I got mine for just under $300. If it lasts 10-15 years and breaks I could buy 30-45 years of these vacuums for less than the alternative and in a decade or two maybe they'll be even better anyway. I don't find it cumbersome at all. It does a 20x better job than anything rocket makes. I think its a great vacuum but among the most pretentious vacuum owners yea maybe its far from the greatest. It still makes a dyson or rocket look like a childs toy in comparison

Avoid Shark can be the one tl;dr from this entire subreddit. They used to be kind of alright (by vac enthusiast standards) but now they're built to break and [near impossible to fix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uEat894ywQ&t=173s&ab_channel=VacuumsRUs). $449 can get you some great vacuums. For pets, you *don't* want a bagless. They stink up and get unhygienic very fast. The Oreck Elevate Conquer is a great machine, the Kenmore Elite upright is too. If you want a canister, the Kenmore 600 might be a good pick. I'm probably forgetting some machines, but these are the best picks off the top of my head. The good thing about bagged vacuums is you don't have to empty them often, and when you do you're getting rid of all the dust. With bagless vacuums, dust gets on the seals, making them useless and blowing more dust around your home.

I recently bought a Kenmore 600. It was a rude awakening as I've been using Dyson stick vacuums pretty much exclusively.

I ordered and returned a Shark Rotator from Amazon. I wasn't impressed at all. Replaced it with a Kenmore 600 canister. I had one before and it served me well. I was eyeballing a Sebo oe Miele canister but couldn't get myself to spend that much on a vacuum.

R/vacuumcleaners Realistically it depends on budget. A good one that won't destroy the bank is the Kenmore BC4030 especially if you can get it on sale for <$200 but you can usually find it for ~279. Next best one would probably be a Miele cat&dog or Sebo but those are very pricey.

It cleans all right no complaints there. But it's so much more cumbersome to use than other canister vacuums. I think if it was between this and a used nicer machine I would definitely pick a used machine. Here's a video that kind of illustrates some of the issues. https://youtu.be/73N6lPxTQHU

I just got a kenmore 600 after being recommended on here and I highly recommend it. If I would have realized I might have spent a little more for the 700 elite but imo the 600 is one of the if not the best bang for your buck you can get.

I have that Shark Stratos. I bought it before I knew better. It's okay but if I were you I would go with the Kenmore 600 or Sebo Dart. Bagless vacuums are NOT as good as bagged ones.

If you prefer an upright, I think you would be happier with the Dart. Plus you can get an AWESOME deal on it right now and it has an incredible warranty. You may never need to buy another vacuum. Personally, I prefer canisters so I would probably get the Kenmore 600. One day I want to get the Sebo E3.

Checking best buys vacuum offerings was sad 😭 How large is your home and is it one floor or multiple? Tbh I can't recommend much from that selection in good faith but I've narrowed it down a little: Without those questions answered I can basically only recommend the Dyson Ball animal 3 corded (it'll probably last up to 10 years with regular maintenance) or the LG cordzero or Samsung bespoke jet cordless models. Those would probably last 5+ years (not including the batteries) and I genuinely like that they empty into bags, but a cordless is overall a pain for whole home cleaning. The Bissell revolution 2x pet pro is the best consumer carpet washer you can buy and they sell that, so that's cool. Maybe you can buy a good robot from best buy, a roborock, but that is less useful of a purchase with a 2 story home. Btw buy the roborock q revo pro when it goes on sale, as it's cheaper than $800 usually. Best recommendation would be to use the best buy gift card on something else and buy a Kenmore 600 series canister from Amazon for $350 lmao. (I'd recommend a Miele really but that's way off the budget).

I'd personally get the Miele and use the upholstery tool on the stairs but it's really impossible to deny the sweet sweet satisfaction of an electric carpet tool in the pet powermate from a Kenmore. If you're gonna get an area rug ever or move to a place with carpets within the next 10 years I'd say get the Kenmore (or get an electro Miele used for the same price!). Overall id recommend an electro canister over non electro, but cannot stress enough how distressful it is for me to not push for buying the Miele only bc it's pure suction! The Miele centennial C1 from PCRichard is $650 and comes with Mieles small electric carpet tool which is nice on stairs, but you'd want to buy the Parquet twister separately. Similarly the C3 excellence model comes with the seb217 electric carpet tool (compact and good for stairs) and the combo tool for hard floors, and is about $750.

If you have a multi floor home or plan to do anything more than floor cleaning, you should definitely get the Kenmore 600. The canister form factor is better for versatility and comfort and above floor cleaning. The darts hose is not good. The Kenmore offers more comfort features as well (lights, cord rewind, onboard tools). Overall electro canisters are kinda the gold standard vacuum for all cleaning cases.. but if you have a specific preference for upright go with the dart. Best bet is to get a Kenmore now, and a Miele/Sebo electro canister in about 15 years after the Kenmore 😘

I have had the Kenmore 600 for about 5 years it’s been amazing!!! Even though the lid hinge broke it still seals and keeps on performing perfectly! I use the envirocare bags and change the Hepa filter about every three bag changes…I only have one hairy doggo but we are in a small space and I work outside so the dirt and hair builds up fast…this vacuum is easy to use and works excellently well!!

My Miele C1 Cat and Dog and Kenmore 400/600 canisters do well on shag, they both have hight adjusters on the head that you click up to the highest setting with your foot. (Sebos also have this adjustability, you just have to bend over and twist a nob, which I prefer less in my house with tons of various pile rugs.) Turn the canister on low suction and have at it, carefully pulling the head back towards you, no back and forth here. Work it strips, pulling towards you. If it still bogs the brush roll, I’d use a non-spinning attachment and thoroughly clean it like you’re brushing it. The Kenmore 600 comes with a Pet Powermate, a small electric powered brush handheld attachment that also might work well here. It’s the only small electro brush I know of. I think it would also work if the bigger floor power heads still bogged. At the end of the day: be sure to follow the rug manufacturer’s cleaning guidelines. Some will still say no brush.

That’s a tough budget tbh. You need something corded and bagged (contrary to what you might think, a bagged vacuum actually compresses the fur as opposed to bagless which actually fluffs up the fur, so you won’t be burning through a bag every vacuum session. It should last you at least 1-2 months. If you can stretch a little, a Kenmore 600 series pop and go. The pet powermate is worth the premium alone. It amazing with fur on upholstery.
