Yeah, it sort of looks like that. I think they do make a bagless Intuition though. The fact that it had a bag was a big draw for me. That and in the past Kenmore has been really good with warranty claims. I think this is made by Cleva. |

I actually do like that. The color is nice. At first I thought that was one of those that converts into a canister. Not sure it does though. I'm leaning toward the new Kenmore canisters as a matter of fact as they are the only ones now with the features I most want. |

I had the purple one. The 'pregnant whale'. It cleaned OK. The bag leaked at the connection and there was dirt all over the pre-motor filter after two uses. My vacuum club friends were over when this was noticed and I was quite shocked. There is no electric hose, so the power head cannot be used unless the entire machine is assembled (unlike the Shark Powered Lift Away). Overall, I think it's OK. I don't like the fact that there are no repair parts for the nozzle (no belt or brush roll repair parts).

Has anyone ever done emissions testing on these?? How do they perform? |

I have been interested in seeing inside of one of these since they were released. Parts of it seem to look like a Cleva-manufactured machine, but other parts do not. Perhaps they outsourced the canister and head to another company such as KingClean and manufactured things such as the handle and some attachments.
Overall, I like the idea of the machine and I would be interested in finding one. Looking at them, I think they could have made them more slim, though I have never handled one and therefore I am not aware if that is too big of a problem or not. Also, those plastic hoses that go from the canister to the cleaner head always worry me. They like to break on machines such as the Sharks. I saw that Kenmore offers a bagless version of this unit (the DU2012 and DU2015). To me, they do not look very good. I see only a single cyclone on both of them and they come with typical cheap attachments. I was looking at reviews and already saw users complaining about the hoses breaking. On the other hand, Kenmore also offers the CrossOver Max (31120 and DU3017), which are fully manufactured by Cleva and were designed by Panasonic. I do have this model and it is quite decent in my opinion. It is designed to be like a Shark, but they took measures to make it more reliable, durable, and functional. For example, the cleaner head hose that breaks on the others ones is a far thicker and tougher material, not a typical stretch hose. At the least, it is an interesting unit. |

I can already see that internal hose in the cleaning head splitting. I see this all the time with Shark vacuums and of course they don't sell parts for them! I'm so excited to see that Kenmore is following suit and not providing replacement parts for their machines. They've already gone down hill with this lately and it works really well with the elderly customers who tend to think Kenmore's are made of gold and invaluable and we tell them parts are no longer available.
