It is a practical pick for homes with mostly hard floors and low pile rugs where bagged dust containment matters, but skip it if you have thick carpeting or tend to drop the hose.

Most owners agree this Kenmore canister delivers strong suction and the cleanliness of a bagged system, making quick work of hard floors and low pile rugs. The trade off is that the lightweight build comes with a fragile handle control that can break if dropped, and the floor head sits too tall to glide under low furniture.

Loved by buyers

  • Bagged design seals dust and pet dander inside, so you never deal with a dust cloud when emptying.
  • The suction, paired with the bare floor tool, picks up pet hair from hard surfaces and low rugs without a brushroll getting tangled.
  • Weighing under 20 pounds, the canister is easy to carry up stairs or from room to room.

Buyer concerns

  • The handle controls break internally if you drop the hose or wand, often rendering the vacuum dead.
  • The floor head is too tall to slide under low clearance furniture, so you will need the extension wand or a separate tool.
  • The slide buttons on the wand shift too easily, causing unintended mode changes while cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this vacuum have a HEPA filter?+
Yes, it includes a HEPA filter that traps 99.7% of fine particles. Combined with sealed bags, it is a good choice for allergy sufferers.
What replacement bags does it use?+
It takes Kenmore Type O or H bags, widely available online and in stores.
Is it loud?+
Noise is typical for a canister vacuum. It will not drown out conversation, but it is not whisper quiet either.
Can it clean high pile carpet?+
This model lacks a motorized brush, so it struggles to agitate dirt from thick carpet. For dense pile, you would need to buy the powered pet attachment separately.
How long is the power cord?+
The cord stretches close to 24 feet, which owners say provides ample reach for larger rooms without unplugging.
