Kenmore - 31150 Pet-Friendly Bagged Upright Vacuum

Dyson’s aren’t good vacuum cleaners. One thing that was interesting about what you said is that you are on the spectrum and you also mentioned the green light of the Dyson. That laser is to help you see the dirt on the floor so that you can vacuum it. Kenmore Elites have a blue light that goes illuminates when it senses you’re vacuuming up particles and then turns off when you’ve cleaned them all up and it doesn’t sense anymore. It’s actually a great feature and I wish my Sebo had it. Often those Kenmore’s are manufactured by Panasonic and with the inducer motors they have a lot of suction power. This upright meets your budget requirements https://a.co/d/7JHdAVN. If you can stretch your budget to $449 this canister is better and has a powered attachment for pet hair. I had this 800 series and If you have carpets and hard floors the crossover system is great. https://a.co/d/bBwae1L

I'm really happy with my Kenmore Elite: https://kenmorefloorcare.com/products/vacuums/upright-vacuums/pet-friendly-bagged-upright-vacuum I have allergies and this one has a HEPA filter on the exhaust and the bags are supposedly allergy friendly too. It's a bit heavy, but unbelievably powerful for the form factor. 30 foot power cord means less unplugging and replugging. Rollers can be turned off for use on hard-surface floors. The only thing I don't really like is that the height adjustment doesn't go high enough for the high-pile carpet in my rec room. That carpet is super plush such that guests always comment on it, so it's kind of an outlier situation. The suction is borderline too strong when using the hose attachment - it sucks so hard it tries to collapse the hose and pulls the vacuum over.

First of all, your dog is so cute. This [Kenmore Intuition](https://a.co/d/iQJvWFv) would work well. This [Kenmore Canister](https://a.co/d/90JfCNM) would do well, too. It cleans carpets, it has attachments, and it’s under budget. These two vacuums are for cleaning carpets only (no attachments) but they’re under budget and would work well. [Oreck XL](https://a.co/d/9aA1IX6) [Kaercher Ranger](https://www.kaercher.com/us/commercial/vacuum-cleaners/upright/ranger-10129000.html) Between those two, I would choose the Kaercher because the brushroll pops out easily to clean it. Just noting that a difference between bagged and bagless vacuums is that bagless vacuums volumize dirt and debris, so you have to empty the bin after every clean. A bagged vacuum compacts the dirty and hair so you don’t need to change the bags until after a few months, most likely.

I had this same model for close to 10 years until the motor decided to just blow out. I did so much research on them and tried to find the same model, but what I found was a big drop in quality. I went with a nice Kenmore Elite bagged upright and won't ever look back . (The Kenmore was for my mother and is easier to maneuver than a canister and stick)

SEBO Dart is an excellent choice. If you anticipate hard flooring in your future, the SEBO Felix would be more future proof and offers a nicer feature set over the Dart (at a cost of course). As for cheaper options I love the Simplicity Allergy or Kenmore Elite 31150.

We ended up with Kenmore for $269 when our dyson finally died. No regrets tho it's so strong we couldn't use it on cheapest throw rugs. You may wanna wait for prime days coming https://amzn.to/4k5Cspz

If you're on a budget like I am then the Kenmore Elite 31150 is about the best you can get for the price, ridiculous suction, the brushroll beats the carpet so well it reminds me of my Rubbermaid branded Sanitaire knockoff, and the only tool that isn't worth using is the turbine brush

While Sebo and Miele's are great vacuums, there's no need to spend that much money. Simplicity and Kenmore make really good uprights. That will work on every floor surface and are very durable machines decently priced. Sorry you had to deal with the dyson...

The simplicity or kenmore uprights are pretty good and seem to hold up. Section remains strong even as the bag fills up. Both have attachments that are pretty good

That kenmore upright is the worst.
