We put these two popular canister vacuums up, in a head to head battle for suction supremacy. We tested for suction, head design, pickup performance on carpet and hardwood. We look at the tools they come with and look at overall value.

Thanks for your videos! Just ordered the Kenmore 600 machine!

[@Spens675]

Great video! Very helpful

[@Mauricio-e1m]

Can you please do a review for the Johnny vac canister vacuums and specially the xv10w?

[@vacuumnerds]

I haven't heard of this brand until now

[@DaviCandy66]

Just got the 600 series. I love it, even if it is more expensive. I have 2 pets inside, so that pet powermate will definitely come in handy

[@coltonsvacuumcollection]

Great video Eric, personally I’d get the 600 series

[@vacuumnerds]

Thank you!

I Wish Hoover Would make at least Decent Quality Bagged Canister vacuums again, I want to buy one and use it.

[@vacuumnerds]

Canisters are not popular like they once were.

[@One-Day-After-Another]

I liked the Kenmore canisters of the past... I had several of them....I can't speak for current versions...here were the issues I had with them: After about 2 years... the quick disconnect wand/handle would short out....give or take 2 years... every time without fail it would eventually happen... another thing... the bags don't have a gasket...so dust would leak from the bag into the bag chamber.... and the vacuums were not sealed.. .meaning there is a HEPA filter, but the exhausted air goes out different places....through the HEPA....out through the cord area or wheels...so the HEPA filter was pretty useless...again... these might have changed....but they really look like the same design to me.

[@vacuumnerds]

I can confirm the new models have a very good seal. My 20 year old one did too. Sorry, I'm not too familar with model between these periods.

[@One-Day-After-Another]

@@vacuumnerds Right but I'm talking about the way the bag slides onto the collar.... instead of having a gasket on the bag opening...Kenmores have a built in gasket... what would happen is it never made a super tight seal... so matter how good the bags you were using... there would inevitably be dust in the bag chamber itself because of that gasket... that's what I was talking about... If someone is using a HEPA bag the bag chamber itself should stay spotless with no visible dust.... that was what I was wondering about... thanks

Kenmore are great

[@vacuumnerds]

I had one for 20 years and it only needed maintenance.

Kitty cats!🐈

We have kitties!

These are not the Kenmore you would have bought ten years ago. The Kenmore that were reliable are made by Panasonic. Panasonic no longer produces vacuums for the US market. These are cheap copies produced by Cleva. Don’t expect these to go more than a few years without issues. My ten year old Kenmore still works great and the only repair was for the cord winder.

[@vacuumnerds]

They are still highly rated by consumer reports for reliability. I can’t test long term reliability, but they seem very well built. Have you got personal experience with the new ones?

[@J-nj8uv]

@@vacuumnerds No, I upgraded to Miele.

[@One-Day-After-Another]

I had several Panasonic made Kenmore canisters in the past... and they were NOT reliable...the quick disconnect wouild ultimately always short out...either on the handle or wand that goes to power nozzle...and even worse... there's no gasket on the bags...so the bag dirt being sucked up with not all go into the bag... fine dust would always end up in the bag chamber... even when using HEPA bags... These are made by Cleva I believe now... but they still look like the exact same design...

Is Vacuum Nerds a solo outfit now? Hope all is okay.

[@vacuumnerds]

I'm solo now. Ryan has started a health coaching business and is doing very well at it! I hope to have him back on the channel sometimes, but so far our schedules haven't lined up.

[@bartowskiofficial]

@@vacuumnerds Thanks for the update. You're still doing a great job! 👏Glad to hear he's doing well :)
