Kenmore 81214 200 Series Pet Friendly Lightweight Bagged Canister Vacuum with HEPA, 2 Motor System, and 3 Cleaning Tools-Orange
Best for
A practical pick for homes with a mix of flooring and heavy pet shedding where deep cleaning matters most, but skip it if you need a light, nimble vacuum for stairs or expect a build that lasts a decade.
What buyers say
Most owners agree this Kenmore delivers powerful suction that pulls up dirt and pet hair other vacuums leave behind, across hard floors and carpets alike.
Loved by buyers
- •Suction strong enough to pull up embedded dirt and pet hair that other vacuums miss.
- •Bagged design keeps dust and allergens contained without the mess of emptying a bin.
- •Simple floor switch adjusts between carpet and hard surfaces without bending down.
Buyer concerns
- •Motor failures and overheating can happen within months, which raises long-term reliability concerns.
- •Hose pulls straight up from the canister, causing strain and making the whole unit prone to tipping.
- •The power head can be difficult to push on thicker carpets and often disconnects when reaching under furniture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I turn off the brush roll when cleaning hardwood or tile?+
Yes, the floor selector on the handle lets you switch to hard floor mode, which stops the brush roll and adjusts suction to keep debris from scattering.
How often do the bags need replacing, and can I use generic ones?+
In an average 1800 sq ft home, a bag lasts about a month. Many owners use cheaper generic Type C bags without problems.
Is the Pet PowerMate attachment good for pulling up pet hair from furniture?+
It's effective at removing embedded hair that other tools miss, but its small size makes it a workout for large areas, and it can overheat during long sessions.
