Kenmore's BU4050 Intuition lands as a bagged, HEPA-sealed upright with a hair eliminator brushroll that actually stays clear of long human hair and a lift-away pod that makes stairs a one-arm job. Suction is strong enough to inhale stray socks and paper towels, the stiff hose struggles on ceiling work, and thick shag rugs will stall the brushroll until you switch to the hose attachment.
