Kenmore - Crossover DU3017

I had a kenmore caister. Worked great and lasted 10 years. Much more affordable than sebo or miele.

Cordless vacuums are good for light cleaning but they lack the run time to clean a whole house and they lack the suction and agitation to deep clean carpets. Dysons are overpriced for what you get and their quality has gone way down. Sharks are best avoided, poor design, poor reliability, no repairability, and a warranty that excludes most of the vacuum. Important features: A corded vacuum is needed to clean your carpets. A bagged vacuum will last longer and be much cleaner to empty. Brushroll shutoff is best for hard floors. Hepa bags or a hepa filter is needed for good filtration. I'd look at the [Kenmore Intuition BU4022](https://www.amazon.com/Kenmore-Intuition-Lift-Away-Combination-HandiMate/dp/B08CXPQXL5/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=1IRU0GMV658E0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sV5rPxipSet8mTSNQOC2CKZjVUwBwndeLjZYV7OlenT1G5TjnIoTY86L60s2xwujOfLQVxtKW8mvL7fqqWDuU0OxsMALT5P9LSR7Kj7TwLI_xF8uZSlk2hydvoNUlP7aLH0iEniaLXSkRuws4rExcD_yK9wMqqXJEOhYbLNspWoK7M-v7eGUv8mxSsaqklzPL5Sj6NnLFE3aok-CHMHQNJR1eWqtNhiB5KprubfBSvE.sKo3mO5auAh77q7TCWmINyPFB8CdZ2jvy4nhcvBP2N8&dib_tag=se&keywords=kenmore%2Bvacuum&qid=1731790472&sprefix=kenmore%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1) $159 and the other Intuition variants. It's a small upright vacuum so it isn't too heavy. It uses hepa bags which should last around 2 months each bag. It has swivel steering and brushroll shutoff for hard floors. It isn't the most durable bagged vacuum but it will last longer than most bagless vacuums and it's quite reasonable priced. You could also consider the [Kenmore Crossover DU3017](https://www.amazon.com/Kenmore-Crossover-Lift-Away-Handi-Mate-Adjustment/dp/B08KZQCHV5/ref=sr_1_20?crid=1IRU0GMV658E0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.B4NNHNACdpYgn4UUjEGTvGLYifFg1uiQDrZZXBNkbKzGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.FhPMQH93eOr_7nmLxwvgaaRap1TjYQplzgKCTjXsWGo&dib_tag=se&keywords=kenmore+vacuum&qid=1731790957&sprefix=kenmore%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-20) $181. This is a medium sized upright vacuum with swivel steering and brushroll shutoff. It's a little better built than the Intuition but it's bagless so it's messier to empty and you'll need to regularly wash the filter. It has a longer hose. Both the Intuition and Crossover have liftaway mode. The Sebo Dart is the BIFL option but that costs $550.

While Sebo and Miele's are great vacuums, there's no need to spend that much money. Simplicity and Kenmore make really good uprights. That will work on every floor surface and are very durable machines decently priced. Sorry you had to deal with the dyson...

The simplicity or kenmore uprights are pretty good and seem to hold up. Section remains strong even as the bag fills up. Both have attachments that are pretty good

That kenmore upright is the worst.
