Kenmore Intuition Bagged Upright Vacuum Lift-Up Carpet Cleaner

The Kenmore BU4022 Intuition earns genuine praise from users who see it as a standout in its category. One reviewer went so far as to say the top 3 bagged uprights are all Kenmore , and several others agree that the Kenmore Intuition is better than Sharks . Users also appreciate that Kenmore has these settings which make it more flexible , and the inclusion of a sealed HEPA exhaust filter and decent HEPA bags adds to its appeal for those who care about filtration quality.

That said, the vacuum comes with a notable list of recurring complaints. Some users have run into brush roll problems, reporting that the brush gets stuck and the vacuum thinks it's a jam , while others have experienced more serious mechanical failures where the unit started having connection issues with the roller base and just stopped sending all power to the brush . On the design side, users point out that the floor nozzle is narrow and it doesn't have a height adjust , and one reviewer flagged that the hose in the swivel head will split eventually . Concerns about poor filtration, exhaust right on the floor, and meh part quality also surfaced from at least one user.

Reliability appears to be a polarizing issue. While some owners say they had it for months and love it , others have had a far worse experience — one user called it the worst vacuum they ever bought , noting it required warranty replacements twice and still felt like it doesn't clean half as good as expected. This split in experiences suggests unit-to-unit consistency may be a concern.

For budget-conscious shoppers, the BU4022 is widely described as a solid budget vacuum, making it a reasonable entry point for those who want a bagged upright without spending a premium. It is worth noting that the vacuum is considered a rebranded vacuum from another manufacturer , which may factor into how buyers weigh brand loyalty and long-term parts availability.
