Kenmore Pet-Friendly
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Bissell 1547 Hard Floor Expert is a bagless canister vacuum optimized for hard-floor cleaning with HEPA filtration and a dedicated turbine foot. It lacks variable suction and has a short hose, which may restrict flexibility on varied surfaces. Best suited for homes with predominantly hard floors and allergy concerns.
The Kenmore 10701 is a lightweight, bagless canister vacuum that excels at pet-hair removal and offers HEPA filtration for allergen control, making it a solid choice for small apartments and budget-conscious shoppers. Its short cord, modest suction power, and occasional wand reliability issues limit its suitability for larger homes or heavy-duty cleaning. Best suited for pet owners needing quick, portable clean-ups on floors, carpets, and cars.

Professional reviewers commend the Kenmore 10701 as the best vacuum around $100, emphasizing its lightweight build, pet-friendly turbine brush, HEPA filtration, and versatile accessories. While they appreciate its value and portability, they note the wand's reliability issues and limited cord length as drawbacks, and caution that its suction power may not rival higher-priced models for deep cleaning.
Everyday users generally praise the vacuum's portability, quick clean-up capability, and effective pet-hair performance, especially appreciating the HEPA filter for allergy relief. Recurring complaints focus on the telescoping wand's tendency to fall or stick and the short cord, but overall sentiment remains positive for casual, small-space cleaning.
