Kenmore - 22614

This is the one I have. I’ve had it a few years now and it stands up very well. I take it apart and give it a good bath once a year and have replaced the filters once and it runs like new. The hose is a bit short but otherwise works well. Powerhead works well on wall to wall and throw rugs. Great suction. https://a.co/d/5dwV6OC

For various rugs and hard floors you'll need a canister vacuum with a carpet powerhead. Most bagless canister vacuums do not have carpet powerheads. There are a few options from Kenmore and Eureka but I don't recommend any bagless Eurekas. Kenmore 22614 Pet Friendly Bagless Canister Vacuum $279. This bagless canister vacuum has a carpet powerhead with height adjustment, a hepa filter, and a mini motorized brush. You can add one of Kenmore canister hard floor brushes but this model doesn't come with one included. The 22614 is the better Panasonic designed canister. Kenmore has some newer Eureka based canister vacuums that don't have good cyclonic separators. I can't think of other bagless canister vacuums with powerheads that I can recommend so I'll also recommend the Kenmore DU3017 Pet Friendly Crossover Max Upright Vacuum $199. This is another Panasonic designed vacuum with multiple cyclones and a hepa filter. It also has brushroll shutoff for hard floors. It doesn't have carpet height adjustment but it does have suction adjustment via a valve on the handle.

I had a kenmore caister. Worked great and lasted 10 years. Much more affordable than sebo or miele.

I have an older Miele (2001 iirc) and a new Kenmore, they honestly trade blows. The Miele is much quieter, the attachments, hose, bags, and filters seem nicer, and I'm betting it does actually filter better too (or did when it was newer). But the Kenmore has the badass mini electric brush head, the handle controls for on/off as well as suction is pretty dang nifty, the bags are much larger (but for some asinine reason don't fit well inside the vaccuum), the bags and filters are all *significantly* cheaper to buy, it feels like it has similar suction, and it costs a fraction as much as a new Miele. Essentially, the Kenmore feels like a *good* knockoff Miele, and for the price they ask I think that's pretty dang good for most people.

Kenmore canister-- affordable and a BEAST

I’ve been using a Kenmore canister vacuum for over 18 years now and it’s great with hardwood, rugs, and pet hair.

What I was just going to suggest. It's a huge part of the reason I love them.

A canister with hepa filtration, long hose, and all of the attachments. My parents had a kenmore canister that was great for many years.

Just don't by a stick one - useless. Get either an upright or a canister corded one - maximum real suction power. I have 2 canister corded vacuums, Kenmore and Panasonic, one for each floor level of our home. Work perfect for hardwood and carpeted.

I have a Kenmore canister and the Panasonic equivalent both for 25+ years running fine. Nothing has every broken so parts are no concern. Just replaced the filters every 10 years or when my brain reminds me :D.

Just realized she had carpet. My bad, the shopvacs don't have a roller brush, so that probably won't work. Maybe consider a Kenmore canister vac from the recommended list on the automod. I unclog a lot of different vacuums but not many kenmores. Slightly larger hose diameter, plus a ton of suction and a straighter airpath than an upright vac lessen the likelihood of a blockage. They should also be well within budget
