Kenmore Elite 31150 Pet Friendly Bagged Upright Beltless Vacuum w/Pet Handi-Mate, Triple HEPA, 3D Inducer Motor, Telescoping Wand, 5-Position Height Adjustment, 3 Cleaning Tools-Silver
Best for
Best for allergy and multi-pet homes with mostly carpet, while shoppers who need a lightweight stair vacuum or cordless convenience should skip it.
What buyers say
Owners mostly agree the Kenmore Elite 31150 is a serious bagged upright for carpet, pet hair, sand, dust, and allergy households that hate emptying bagless bins. The trade-off is weight and old-school controls, with manual height changes, a short-ish hose, and stairs work that can feel like a chore.
