I've had bagless uprights for 20+ years and recently realized how bad they are for my allergies. I bought a bagged Riccar upright and a Kenmore bagged canister. The amount of dirt that is coming out of my carpet is amazing. The bags are so different than they used to be. Now they are HEPA. Bagged from now on.
I don't have the turbo or the Intuition. I have a Riccar upright and then I bought the BC4030 canister. You might send a message to Kenmore to see if the canister attachment works on the Intuition, but I'm betting it doesn't.
The Sebo Dart is a great vacuum for carpets and the brushroll is removable without any tools to make removing hair wrap easier and faster. The suction is very strong and it's quieter than the average vacuum, but not as quiet as the best canisters. Just about any corded vacuum will clean carpets better than a cordless vacuum. The downsides of the Dart & Felix are they are top heavy, they have a short hose, and they don't include an extension wand.
Alternatives all have tradeoffs. The Kenmore Elite upright is much cheaper usually around $250-300, it has great suction and carpet cleaning, but it's heavy and you need a screwdriver to remove the brushroll. The Kenmore isn't as well-built, and it won't last as long. The Riccar R25 and R27 are good upright vacuums too, the R25 Standard and R25 Deluxe can be $449 & $499. The Riccar R25 has a long hose and good suction, but it isn't as well-built or as easy to maintain as a Sebo Dart.
I think the Sebo Dart is the best balance of durability with a few tradeoffs of a few less features.
Riccar makes the best uprights with a huge selection. R40/r30 great for carpets and hardfloor, long hose, superior filtration to sebo.
R27 great for hardfloor and very good on carpet. Long hose, again superior filtration to sebo.
