Best praise vs top criticism for Kenmore 600 Series Canister
“Bagged & corded. Sebo or Miele. When budget allows, then get a good stick. If the spend on Sebo/Miele is too much right now, then go to bagged Kenmore Intuition upright, that also has lift away, or a bagged Kenmore canister in the 400 or 600 series.”
“Get him a battery powered shop vac. It would be a waste of $750 to buy a pink vacuum cleaner, only for him to realize that pink isn’t as scary as he thought and leave it outside to get ruined. You can get a Kenmore 600 series though as another option. It's purple, about $300 and a very powerful and versatile machine for the price. Is purple girly enough to repel him? Still, get him a battery powered shop vac.”
