Kenmore DU4399 Featherlite Lift-Up Bagless Upright Vacuum 2-Motor Power Suction Lightweight Carpet Cleaner with Hair Eliminator Brushroll, HEPA Filter and 2 Cleaning Tools
Best for
Pet owners and allergy sufferers in midsize homes with mixed flooring who will use the lift-up pod for stairs and furniture. Skip it if you need a vacuum that's easy to repair on your own or if you have expansive, open rooms where a narrow head drags out chore time.
What buyers say
This vacuum delivers strong suction on carpets and hard floors, often pulling up embedded dirt that other vacuums miss, and the lift-up pod simplifies above-floor cleaning. The trade-off: the brushroll can seize and the hose may crack over time, and replacement parts are often backordered, so long-term reliability is uncertain.
Loved by buyers
- •Lift-up pod detaches easily for stairs and furniture, so you don't need a separate handheld.
- •HEPA filtration noticeably reduces allergy symptoms for multiple households, trapping fine dust and pet dander.
- •Strong suction deep-cleans carpets, lifting dirt and hair that previous vacuums left behind.
Buyer concerns
- •Brushroll and hose durability: the beater bar can seize and the hose may crack, and replacement parts have been slow to ship.
- •At 14 pounds, it feels heavier than expected for some, especially when carrying the pod up and down stairs.
- •Narrow cleaning path requires more passes in large open areas, adding time to whole-house cleaning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Hair Eliminator brushroll prevent all hair tangling?+
It reduces hair wrap significantly compared to standard brushes, but you may still need to clean the brushroll occasionally to maintain performance.
Is this vacuum quiet enough for apartment use?+
Yes, this is one of the quieter full-size uprights available, so it won't disrupt neighbors or family members during use.
How heavy is the lift-up pod for carrying up stairs?+
The pod is manageable for most, but if you have back issues or limited strength, it may feel heavy during extended stair sessions. Consider your comfort if stairs are a daily cleaning task.
What is the dust cup capacity like in real use?+
The dust cup holds enough for multiple rooms without emptying, though a first deep clean of very dirty carpets can fill it faster.
Does the cord retract automatically?+
No, the cord wraps manually around hooks. Its length works for most rooms, but you might need to switch outlets in larger spaces.
