Kenmore Elite Pet Friendly UltraPlush 81714

I have that Kenmore Elite 81714 and I quite like it. The power nozzle swivels very nicely and it has quite a few good attachments. On top of that, they are quite powerful.

Well, this vacuum was a replacement for a 20+ year old Kenmore canister vacuum that finally gave up the ghost. In the beginning, it worked great. It’s very adjustable, felt a little bit lighter than my old one, and I liked that the power switch is on the handle. But one issue I don’t like is that th...

They have cloth HEPA bags with rubber seals at the openings, for example. If you were considering the Hoover uprights, then you should be fine with the Kenmore. The $300 price tag is, if anything, quite low for the cleaning performance and build quality that you get.

This is our third Kenmore vacuum in 30 years. Our first two held up really well and we used the heck out of them. I want to love this vacuum, but I just can't. The suction is really, really good. The long cord and longer hose are super nice. I cannot stand the swivel head, though. We have concrete f...

Bissell Zing, cheap and terrible. Kenmore Elite 81714, good all around canister vacuum. I voted for the Miele C2 Electro+ because it was the best on the list but sticking to your budget is good too. Kenmore canister vacuums are not as good as Miele but they're one half to one third the price so they're also a good pick.

I had a 20 year old bagless Dyson Slim. It had good suction but the attachments fell off and it was cumbersome to use. The dust bin was messy and hard to empty. I looked for a vacuum for quite a while and really wanted a cordless stick. It seemed that there were issues with them, including short bat...

My upmost limit is $600. I've found the Kenmore Elite Pet Friendly UltraPlush 81714 to be recommended by Consumer reports, though I can't confirm that the nozzle is electric.

I really liked that my old Kenmore vacuum cleaner had an on/off switch on the top of the wand you hold to vacuum. This one has it on the canister. When I'm trailing the canister behind me, it's annoying to have to go to it if I want to shut off the vacuum for a minute. And my old one had a regular h...

I like functionality, size, design, the fact that it has disposable vacuum bag, super powerful engine. I don't like that the vacuum cleaner is not durable. We started having problems after two months. We have used it very moderately: I clean one tiny (tile floor) apartment 360 sf with one 4’x5’ rug,...

This will be the last Kenmore product I buy. I had high hopes for this vacuum, but there are several things I don't like. First, the latch on the exhaust outlet on the back doesn't work well. I have to work with it to get it latched and if I store the vacuum on its end as instructed, the latch comes...
