Kenmore 400 Series 81414

**Kenmore 400 Series 81414**: I may be biased towards canisters, but my pick would be this one. I like the ease of attachment use with a canister, though I know not everybody likes dragging a canister. Anyway, you get more features with this canister such as an extension wand and variable motor speed control, hence the slightly higher price.

Had it about nine months now, and like it for the most part. As with most stuff now, it does have a bit of a plastic feel to it, so I treat it with kid gloves. Suction is great, and I like the Pet PowerMate attachment, though the bearings in that could be better. Despite the claims, it can get hair ...

This machine handles carpet and tile, has great filters, and i've only had to change the bag a few times over the last year. It cost me somewhere around 260$ making it a decent upgrade some the usual walmart/target options while not quite reaching a lower Miele.

Let me start off by saying I use this at the minimum of 3 times a week to clean vacation homes, as well as our own home which has 2 dogs, 2 kids and an angry cat. I've had it over a year and so far nothing has broken with a LOT of use. Pros: This has excellent suction, and a lever to release some su...

I wanted to like this vacuum given the reviews but I knew I didn't like canister style vacs. As far as I can see there is only ONE good reason to choose this vacuum over others including uprights: it is designed for and works very well on plush carpet. When we purchased our new carpet 3 years ago, b...

Great suction power, but very poor build quality. Very heavy and very noisy. Most of the parts are plastic and break easily. Not the build quality that you expected from Kenmore in the past. The filter in the back will pop off frequently unless you keep it taped in place. In the past three years we ...

We like the vacuum. Versatile. Has all the attachments you might need. Pretty good suction. The materials seem a little cheap though, and I had to tighten one part to get the hardwood part to stop pulling out of the carpet part all the time. We had an older version of this and it felt more solidly m...

I left the Kenmore Canister vacuum in the box when I purchased it for many days as I was in was moving locations and didn't want to unpack it at that time. As always in my past experience, I have been very happy with the motor performance. However, after using it the first time, I tried turning it o...

We just bought a second one for upstairs use - - so that should tell you something. Construction could be sturdier, but for the price, it's a good value. BUT, there's one thing you should do before you even use it the first time. This vacuum has a real weak spot where the hose goes into the canniste...
