Consumer Reports

CR’s take: If you have a pet that sheds and hardwood or tile floors, the Kenmore Pet Friendly 31140 will serve you well as it earns Excellent ratings on both those tests. It also earns a Very Good for cleaning carpet. Suction through the hose is impressive so if you use your attachments to clean curtains or upholstery, you won’t be disappointed. Emissions are clean, meaning this bagged vacuum retains what it sucks up. It comes with a HEPA filter, which is designed to capture more dirt particles, and a light that indicates when the bag is full so you know when it’s time to change it—two pluses if you’re sensitive to dust. Based on data from our exclusive member survey, Kenmore uprights earn a middling score of Good for both predicted reliability and owner satisfaction.

 It's heavy like a typical Kenmore but it's not that bad and it cleans really well like you'd expect now. I'm surprised because the Bushell underneath isn't a direct drive. it's you know, sort of faux wood and pretty not to stiff bristles so you've got that. Yeah, nice of them to include a little clean-out port under there

 but I Honestly think this thing either comes close to her outperforms my direct drive because the airflow and suction on this thing is probably the best on any machine I own and that includes my big shark lift away. So it's really surprising how this thing works on carpets and floors. And another thing too, going off of that, the high adjuster dog was actually really easy to work with. It changes Heights basically instantly

 you are getting basically nothing here and because of this thing's powerful suction, if you cap off the airflow even a little bit, it's good contract and this is basically all you have to work with. now. this machine is quite heavy, so unlike something else like I own even my Hoover steerable, you couldn't lift it to try and alleviate the short length of the hose. so you basically stuck with this and it's not good in the slightest

 So I'll give it a test run and we'll go from there. [Music] [Music] Yeah, I know if you could hear that over the sound of the motor, but this thing's airflow is amazing. It probably as far as cleaner goes, this will outperform all of my clean air machines except for maybe the direct drive. And that's only because the REC drive agitator will beat the carpet a lot better than the standard brush holder this has

Kenmore 31140 Review

What did you get, thinking it would be BIFL, but it ended up NOT being BIFL at all

 Also, if you have notions of not stopping to use the tools--stop your notioning. You will need the tools to get under things because no amount of lowering of the upright part will get you under a bed or a couch. See #3. Flipside? The hose attachment for hair removal is awesome and works great, but is only as good as its reach of the hose which is like this _________________________ long

 The cons are significant but Kenmore has weighted the scales appropriately with the power, the tool options (not the hose--boo on the hose), and the price. Try to make it past the honeymoon, it was worth it for us!

 If you are willing to make some sacrifices for power, price, and the luxury of only vacuuming every-so-often, keep reading. We have five large dogs--one of which is a Pyrenees mix--with only hardwoods and the occasional rug and I have learned to work with this vacuum. The reward is for the first time in 18 years, I only have to vacuum once in a while versus daily or every other day. That is a game changer to our household and maybe so in yours

 We have discovered if you vacuum in one direction, the exhaust--with almost near-precision--creates walls of hair to suck up easily with the incredibly short hose. See #4. #4 Crazy. Short

5 dogs, hardwoods, and small spaces is what this vacuum is up against--we are still on the fence

There is a cloth pre-motor filter at the top of the dust bin that needs to be washed and one (the exhaust filter) in a tray on the bottom of the canister itself that needs to be changed when it gets dirty. Like with all vacuum cleaners with spinning brushes, definitely keep that clean as well. Also, a lot of the dust bin is meant to be disassembled by the user in case it gets too dirty. The manual would tell you how to do all of this

Sorry for the long post. I feel I should lay everything out properly.

So I've always used this $60 dirt devil upright my parents bought 5 years ago. I figured it was time for an upgrade and wanted something to use on wood floors as well. So after some research, and binge-watching Vacuum Wars I bought the Shark NV352. I was satisfied with it but after doing some more research I found it's not really that good and won't last that long. After looking around more I bought the Miele Classic C1 Turbo but was completely let down with its performance for how much it cost as the Shark got more dirt from carpets. I suppose it's my fault since I thought I could get away with an air nozzle. Now basically I need a vacuum with an electric nozzle for both wood floors and carpet rooms. Most of my house is wood but I have 2 rooms with carpets (wood floor \~1060 sq.ft while carpeted rooms \~200 sq.ft combined, not including stairs) and eventually, we're moving to a bigger house with a carpeted basement so I need to take that into account. **My budget is around \~$400 (with some wiggle room**) and was wondering what I could get. 

**My 1st option** was to get the Hoover ONEPWR HEPA+ for carpets and floor as well as a ONEPWR Blade+ for the extra battery and being able to vacuum other stuff along with carpet stairs. The problem with this is that I'll need to keep swapping batteries and its more devices to sort through and change while cleaning. **The 2nd option** I looked at was a Kenmore 700 series which seemed like a cheap Miele and fit what I wanted but it has mixed reviews being recommended in this sub but not by others such as Performance Reviews and it's way too heavy at 30lbs. **The 3rd option** and my favorite is the Zero-G which has everything I want, especially the stair nozzle with amazing reviews BUT it has no retractable cable which, as much as I don't like I can live with, and it's also $579 which is a bit over my budget. I feel like I'm either forced to overspend (I know it's a good investment but it still hurts) or go with cumbersome options. What would you guys recommend? I appreciate any response.

First Time All-Round Vacuum Purchase

 Sad you have to damn near save your old vacuum parts to get the satisfaction of a new vacuum. I’ve only owned for about 4-5 months. I bought after extensive research and highly recommended consumer reports. I would return it but it does do an amazing job deep cleaning pet hair & embedded dust/grime out of carpets

 I bought after extensive research and highly recommended consumer reports. I would return it but it does do an amazing job deep cleaning pet hair & embedded dust/grime out of carpets. I’ve never experienced anything close to it. I’m too tired to find anything else, if the perfect vacuum exists, so will keep and put up with the minor annoyances

Great deep cleaning suction for carpets but…

Hello BIFL,

I am planning to buy/order a new French door style refrigerator in the next month with an ice maker. I prefer to buy from a non-big box, so the niche brands are open. Can folks share their experience and suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

Looking for advice on a new French door style refrigerator

I needed a vacuum with hepa filtration, head lights, and good with pet hair. All which this vacuum has. However, this vacuum doesn't come with a extension hose which is necessary for the vacuum to be more efficient. This is a grave omission since the unit itself is really great

 However, this vacuum doesn't come with a extension hose which is necessary for the vacuum to be more efficient. This is a grave omission since the unit itself is really great. The suction is strong, and handles cat hair and litter on hardwood floors. The pet hair attatchment is a plus for furniture, but is difficult to use since there isn't an extension hose

No extension hose.  Lacks maneuverability.  Heavy!

Attachments handle on hose is short and makes vacuuming stairs a pain

Because of that, you need to wash the pre-motor filter and wipe the inside of the bag compartment every so often. That is one thing I wish Kenmore would fix. If you do not mind that, it is a good unit.

Okay, I'll try to keep this brief. I've fallen into a semi-educated abyss and am trying to climb out. 

**Brief Background**

My gf said she would like a vacuum cleaner for her birthday. She's recently become enthralled with Tik Tok cleaning videos, and I am fully supportive of this hobby seeing as we plan on tying the knot within the next couple of years. 

**The Search**

So, I really wanted to get her something special. A quick Google led me to this:

[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Q4DRJW/ref=ox\_sc\_act\_title\_4?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Q4DRJW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;psc=1)

But, wanting to get some real-talk advice, I decided to hop over to this lovely sub and see what people thought. 

Obviously, I learned pretty quickly that Shark has a pretty bad rap around here. Everyone in my office swears by them, but I want to get something that's really nice and will last (keeping in mind my budget is \~$400). 

So I was very close then to getting this:

[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075QPCX9L/ref=sbl\_dpx\_B07P97JJNZ\_0](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075QPCX9L/ref=sbl_dpx_B07P97JJNZ_0)

But become worried -- it seems rightly -- that it's not great for carpet. Most over her \~700 sq. ft. apartment is low-medium pile carpet (which apparently is a thing, news to me), so it's important what I get works well on carpet. 

So I thought then that maybe a step up would work:

[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P97JJNZ/ref=crt\_ewc\_title\_dp\_3?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P97JJNZ/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_3?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER)

But again, some people say not great for carpet (though I've read everything from "it's great with carpet!" to "it's terrible with carpet!"). Trying to decipher what's user error and what's true about a damn vacuum seems next to impossible. 

Then I thought maybe the good ol' Hoover WindTunnel:

[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BJX2TLC/ref=crt\_ewc\_title\_dp\_2?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BJX2TLC/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_2?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER)

But that honestly seems completely boring. 

Then I thought possible this Kenmore could be a nice middle ground:

[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075F41FZJ/ref=crt\_ewc\_title\_dp\_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A2YY8IX604KF21](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075F41FZJ/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A2YY8IX604KF21)

But again, some love, some hate, it sounds heavy and I don't love the way it looks. 

WHAT'S A GUY TO DO. Seriously, is there no $300 - $400 nice vacuum that looks cool and gets the job done on all surfaces? And why IN GOD'S NAME are there 6,000 different vacuums, 5,950 of which are slight iterations with no clear benefit over one another? Sigh. 

**The Ask**

I would be extremely appreciative of any and all recommendations/tips/etc. and thanks (I think) for the wealth of information in this sub. I'm lying awake at night thinking about vacuums now and... I guess there are worse things.
