Best praise vs top criticism for Kenmore 600 Series Canister
Best Praise
+13 pts“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”

+3 pts“Actually, I will try what you are doing. = ) So far the cons are the 600 is clunky. I bought only because of the high suction , motorized head/I have carpeted bedrooms. The rest of the house is hardwood and vinyl. My living room is incredibly cluttered. What I have to do is move everything. It's such a headache, and then moving the 600 around in my narrow living room and other rooms. (I'm trying to keep a positive outlook) Tomorrow is vacumn day, so I will be more mindful on the which technique seems to work better for me. I'm not sure of you say the other posts, but a a few Redditors have mentioned using on the Kenmore Q Hepa bags and also buy a different kind of filter that sits in the back. I recently purchased the back filter off of Walmart's third part provider. I'll get back to you re the name.”
