Kenmore Intuition Bagged vs Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged: Differences
Kenmore Intuition Bagged wins Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged (5-1). It offers versatile cleaning performance on various surface types, has a reasonably lightweight construction, operates more quietly, and is equipped with a range of nice-to-have features.
Cleaning Performance
The Winner: Kenmore Intuition Bagged
- Bare Floor (Hardwood, Laminate, Tiles)
Kenmore Intuition Bagged vs Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged has superb performance on bare floors. They can suck up small and bulky debris, such as rice or cereal, and pet hair without hassle. Their Performance remains consistent as their dirtbags fill up, which is great if you have to deal with a big mess.
- High-Pile Carpets
The Kenmore Intuition has excellent performance on high-pile carpets. It can collect pet hair without an issue and does a great job clearing larger debris, such as sand, and fine material, such as baking soda.
The Hoover WindTunnel is just a decent option for high-pile carpets. It easily vacuums pet hair and clears a good amount of fine debris like baking soda but struggles a bit more with coarse material like sand. I also noticed some debris got stuck to the inside of the hose.
- Low-Pile Carpets
The Kenmore Intuition has impressive performance on low-pile carpets. It removes pet hair easily and does a good job vacuuming larger debris, like sand. Still, it struggles a bit with fine material, like baking soda. Its performance remains consistent as the dirtbag fills up.
The performance of the Hoover WindTunnel on low-pile carpets is okay. It picks up pet hair without a problem and works well with small, fine debris. But it may take several passes to totally suck up coarser material like sand.
- Stairs
The Kenmore Intuition Bagged vs Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged is inadequate for dealing with messes on stairs. Their upright design isn’t especially well-suited for this purpose, and their heavy weight makes it a bit tricky to pick up and carry around.
The good news is that they can be transferred into their semi-handheld configuration, making cleaning hard-to-reach areas easier.
Design and Convenience
The Winner: Kenmore Intuition Bagged
Weight And Portability
The weight of the Kenmore Intuition Bagged vs Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged is 14.95 lbs and 16.71 lbs, respectively.
These machines have okay portability. They are a little heavy overall, but they feel relatively light in hand. They also have integrated carrying handles, making it easier to carry up and down stairs or from room to room.
Range
The Kenmore Intuition Bagged has a mediocre range with a reasonably long power cord (30.02 ft), allowing you to vacuum large spaces without swapping outlets. However, it has a short vacuum hose (2.79 ft) that can make cleaning hard-to-reach areas a bit difficult.
The Hoover WindTunnel also has a sub-par range with a fairly long power cord (29.40 ft) and a longer vacuum hose (4.86 ft), which makes vacuum high-placed shelves slightly difficult.
Dirt Compartment
The Winner: Kenmore Intuition Bagged
As their names suggest, both the Kenmore Intuition Bagged vs Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged are bagged vacuum cleaners. The capacities of their dirt compartments are 0.92 gallon and 0.73 gallon, respectively. Larger dirtbags will result in reduced recurring costs. Also, the first one comes with 6 bags, while the other is packed with 1.
The Kenmore Intuition has four indicator lights that will gradually turn green as the dirtbag fills up, and all will turn red once it has reached maximum capacity. The other also features an indicator that will turn from green to red or can flutter to alert you once the dirtbag has reached maximum capacity.
Noise
The Winner: The Kenmore Intuition
| Kenmore Intuition Bagged | Hoover WindTunnel Tempo | |
| Low-Pile Carpet | 78.3 dBA | 79.9 dBA |
| Bare Floor | 78.1 dBA | 81.2 dBA |
As we can see, the Kenmore Intuition is quieter than the Hoover WindTunnel, so I give this machine a nod. But anyway, both are quite noisy to clean up in the morning.
Maneuverability
The Winner: Tie
The Kenmore Intuition has better maneuverability. It can move smoothly on uneven surfaces, and its head can rotate, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces. It can sometimes struggle with climbing over rugs and electrical cords. It has a bulky body, but its ‘Lift-Up’ feature allows you to clean stairs and hard-to-reach areas effectively.
The Hoover WindTunnel has decent maneuverability. It has no rotating head, making it harder to maneuver in tight areas than its opponent. Fortunately, it can roll smoothly on uneven surfaces and effectively go over low-lying obstructions, such as electrical cords and rug tassels. It is a bit difficult to vacuum under tables or couches because of its bulky design. You can use it as a semi-handheld vacuum to make cleaning stairs and tight areas as easy as pie.
Kenmore Intuition Bagged vs Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged: Similarities
Semi-handheld Mode
You can use the Kenmore Intuition Bagged as a semi-handheld vacuum cleaner thanks to its ‘Lift-Up’ feature, which allows you to detach its main body from its upright portion.
The Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged can also be converted to its semi-handheld configuration by unlatching its hose from its main body. But unlike its competitor, it is impossible to separate its main body from its upright portion.
Build Quality
The build quality of Kenmore Intuition is passable. The machine is mostly made of plastic, except for the metal wand, handle, and rubber wheels. It feels somewhat sturdily overall, but several small internal mechanisms feel like they could break over time or if dropped.
The Hoover WindTunnel Tempo Bagged also has a decent build quality with an entirely plastic construction. Although its main body feels solid, some smaller parts, like the wheels and dust bin cover’s handle, feel a bit flimsy.
LED Headlights
Both of these gadgets are equipped with headlights, allowing you to effectively vacuum at night or clean low-light areas like under furniture. Also, this feature allows you to detect objects you shouldn’t vacuum, such as jewelry and coins, that can damage your vacuum cleaner.
