 So I took the wiring harness apart, cut the ribbon, notched it and abraded the end to expose the metal connections. I reinserted it into the clip and secured it with copious amounts of tape, enough to fortify the inevitable bend that occurs. Put it back together and what do I get? VOILA! A vacuum again! Should this have happened? No. In the amount of time I have owned this unit, they should have at least tested a unit twice as long (I do for my products) but here’s a TIP to prevent this problem for anybody considering this unit

 Out of curiosity, considering the old one is shot, I took apart the wand and discovered the problem. It used to be that the power cord was on the outside of a tube that never extended or retracted. Now, the extendable wand has its wiring inside, in the form of a ribbon wire, that when repeatedly extended and retracted (as much as one can in the 4 months we have had it using it occasionally) the wire snaps at the one connection end. This is a serious design flaw

 This fix lasted 15 minutes, as shortly thereafter it stopped working altogether. I contacted Kenmore, and they’re sending a replacement vacuum ( in 7-10 days, coupled with the time it took to get an RMA we are talking 2 weeks) . Out of curiosity, considering the old one is shot, I took apart the wand and discovered the problem. It used to be that the power cord was on the outside of a tube that never extended or retracted

 DO NOT EXTEND AND RETRACT THE WAND OFTEN. Try to find a height that works and stick with it. Considering what I discovered inside the wand, it should be fine for decades if you don’t put it though a lot of movement.

Has a serious design flaw (bought 9/15/18) ***UPDATED 1/31/19***

 I was able to follow the instructions for putting it together. Overall it seems intuitive to use and has excellent suction, especially on rugs and carpet. The switch for hardwood, carpet and power on the handle work as intended but seem flimsy. It’s easy to hit the carpet setting on hardwood

 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 battery times and questionable suction power. I then looked at various bagged and bagless uprights and bagged canisters

81714, a powerful vacuum

It's okay

 We just got it, the second one, identical, i took a brush and used it with old vacuum, it works awesome so far! So a[ardently, brash alone was a problem, we should start from replacing it, instead of a handle. We used the first one for one year in total, even though with constant troubles, but it is so cheap, that i thought to give it another chance, maybe the other one will last longer, if not- i will look for something else, because buying it once a year will be costly overtime. Update: I noticed that the first vacuum (exactly identical 200 series Kenmore) had telescopic expandable pipe, this new one, ordered in 2019, does not, and it is so short that with my height on 5’1” I can not use it! It’s too inconvenient. The other issue with new vacuum: bare floor attachment has too thin brush, which is too soft, like it is not even there, so entire brush just sucked to floor, that you can’t even move it around! Same about upholstery brush -too flimsy

 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, about twice a week; and once in two months i clean about 500sf of low carpet in the covered lanai. That's it! First, the hose broke so we had to duck tape it, then there appeared a major problem with brush: it stoped self propelling. Then soon it started working intermittently

Low quality which got even worse

 I have some floor attachments, brushes, and long-reach wands that fit other vacuums, but they won't work with this Kenmore because of it's design. I was able to fashion an adapter that gets around this problem, but there's some risk the adapter may damage the hose. Kenmore should make their vacuums to use standard attachments, so customers don't lose their investment in specialized attachments.  Third, the only attachment with a brush for effectively vacuuming bare floors is only 9 inches wide instead of the standard 14 inch width of most floor attachments

Disappointing Vacuum

 It is designed such that the airflow is strong and consistent throughout the cleaning process. I Include this as if you have the suction on LOW you might think the thing is broken The cleaner is provided with HEPA filters unlike some of the other filters which are available in the market. HEPA filters help in getting rid of allergen and irritants which can cause asthma and other respiratory problems. It is especially useful for people prone to respiratory issues

Besides using the vacuum for normal floor cleaning, you can easily clean the edges and corners of your room with the Kenmore 81614 canister vacuum cleaner. This Kenmore canister vac combines the affordable price, quality and performance in a unit that are design for all-surfaces cleaning including the pet hair This is a 2-motor system that comes with powerful suction power (12 amps) and you can use it to clean all types of floors including bare floors, carpets and dog hairs. The vacuum cleaner is provided with adjustable suction power and can be used according to the type of material or surface being cleaned. You can reduce the power for delicate carpets, furniture and so on

 The effectiveness and popularity of canister vacuum cleaners push the Kenmore company to provide several great series of canisters that will be a cut above the rest. This is to convince their potential buyers to buy their product over the other. you WILL not get a vacuum with better designed, more powerful, and reliable machine at this PRICE. and for me that is the keyword PRICE

The Quality Is Apparent

 I have a 10 year old Miele swivel upright vacuum, which I love (sadly, it'I believe they stop making them longer & replaced with a few worthless battery corded stick vacuums) and a Sebo Flexi swivel upright. My uprights have a swivel heads which makes moving them about from room to room a breeze, plus there's isn't a long hose to push while dragging the heavy canister behind you (that crashes into everything).

 If it's selling close to $500.00, definitely don't buy it. It just isn't build solid enough for that kind of money.

 However, I would NOT pay anymore then $399.99. I guess I got it on sale, because it's now selling for close to $500.00

 Not a Dyson. They're over priced flimsy plastic of junk).

Kenmore Elite 21814 Pet Friendly CrossOver

seems like some of the bad design flaws were addressed. The wand has no plastic knuckles except on the bottom where the power head detaches. It's thicker and feels like is has some beef to it. Second, the suction has improved

..seems like some of the bad design flaws were addressed. The wand has no plastic knuckles except on the bottom where the power head detaches

 I finally had to break down and get a new one. I'm gonna tell you why I like (not love) this vacuum. First the good.

Better engineering maybe?

 The vacuum cleans beautifully on carpet or hard floors, in corners, under beds, and baseboards. It's the perfect vacuum-as long as you keep the canister in one spot.  You need your canister vacuum to be able to follow you with a minimum amount of guidance. It needs to follow you with as little fuss as possible

  If you have no problem dragging a fat cat on a leash all over your house, then this is the vacuum for you. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

  You need your canister vacuum to be able to follow you with a minimum amount of guidance. It needs to follow you with as little fuss as possible. You definitely should not have to pick the canister up by the handle to move it. I've never had to before with other models

Like a Fat Cat on a Leash

 You insert down and in towards the front of the brush roller, then click the backside down in. Very straight forward. The dirt light is accurate and useful when it detects something you can't see. The inducer motor is variable speed rather than blowing off air to reduce suction like other vacuums

 It's very quiet on low suction. You can have a normal conversation while it's running. It's easy to use. Retractable cord, the attachments are convinient to get too and simple to attach

 That's the only reason I subtracted a star. This vacuum is way more value than any German make. It's definitely the best canister vacuum in my opinion.

Best multi floor canister vacuum, hands down. Awesome value.
