Consumer Reports

CR’s take: The Kenmore Progressive 10135 aces two out of three of our tough cleaning tests—those for bare floors and pet hair—and earns a Very Good rating for cleaning carpet. Emissions for this bagless model are pretty clean but, like all bagless vacuums, emptying the bin can release dust back into the air. Suction through the hose is only average, so this is not the best choice if you use attachments often. Also, like the Kenmore above, this model is noisy.

CR’s take: The bagless Kenmore Pet Friendly CrossOver 31220 is top-notch at cleaning bare floors and, true to its name, earns an Excellent rating at picking up piles of cat fur. It falls short of our top marks for carpet cleaning, but still earns an impressive Very Good rating. And unlike some bagless models, it retains the debris it vacuums up so emissions are clean. Suction through the hose is strong, but this Kenmore is noisy.
