Consumer Reports

CR’s take: The Kenmore 200 Series BC4002 offers both performance and value, and earns our CR Best Buy designation. At this relatively low price you get an impressive vacuum that vanquishes pet hair and leaves floors spotless. It’s also quite capable at cleaning carpet, earning a Very Good on that test. Emissions are clean, and tool airflow is strong, so you’ll have no problem using your attachments. Our testers found it pretty easy to handle and move under and around furniture.
