Kenmore Friendly Lightweight Bagless Compact Canister Vacuum | 2-Motor System, Pet PowerMate, HEPA Filter & Telescoping Wand for Home, Carpet, Floors & Pet Hair, Eggplants
Best for
Pet owners with mostly carpet who want deep cleaning and don't mind frequent bin emptying, but skip it if you have lots of hard floors or want a light vacuum.
What buyers say
Most owners agree this vacuum delivers strong suction and excellent pet hair pickup, especially on carpet. The main trade-off is the small dust bin and missing bare floor tool, which add extra steps if you have a mix of floors.
Loved by buyers
- •Suction rivals high-end brands, pulling embedded dirt from deep carpet and under rugs.
- •Light body and carry handle make it easy to lift and use in the car or up stairs.
- •Dual motors keep the brush roll spinning on thick carpet and pet hair without bogging down.
Buyer concerns
- •The dust bin is tiny and must be emptied almost every use, and the bin has tricky alignment that can kill suction if off even slightly.
- •No brushless hard floor tool is included, so bare floor cleaning is less effective without a separate purchase.
- •The power head weighs over 4 pounds and can tire arms during long cleaning sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work well on hard floors?+
It can clean hard floors with the power head turned off, but many find it less effective than a brushless tool. It does not come with one, so you may want to buy a separate floor nozzle.
Can it handle long pet hair?+
Yes, the motorized brush and strong suction pick up pet hair from carpets and upholstery, though the small bin fills fast with heavy shedding.
Is the HEPA filter washable?+
The circular dust filter can be rinsed, but the HEPA filter is not washable and should be replaced periodically. A spare dust filter helps because it takes time to dry.
How heavy is the power head?+
The power head itself weighs about 4.2 pounds, and with the hose attached it can feel like 7 pounds in hand, which some find tiring for whole-house use.
