Professional reviewers commend the Hoover CH30000 for its exceptional portability and power, emphasizing the lightweight design, strong 7.4 A motor, CRI/UL certifications, and the versatile 2‑in‑1 blower capability. They also highlight the generous 33‑ft cord, 10‑inch cleaning path, and comprehensive accessory kit as ideal for commercial detail work and above‑floor cleaning.
Everyday users consistently praise the vacuum’s light weight, strong suction, and the inclusion of useful tools, noting its usefulness for quick spot‑cleaning in cars, offices, and small homes. The most common complaint is the small bag capacity, which leads to frequent bag changes and limits the unit’s suitability for larger cleaning jobs.
Professional reviewers commend the Kenmore 81214 for its powerful dual‑motor suction, effective HEPA filtration and versatile height adjustments, noting that it handles pet hair and mixed flooring well while remaining easy to maneuver. However, they criticize the short 1‑year warranty, the limited 24‑ft cord and the lack of a telescopic wand, positioning the unit as a solid entry‑level option that falls short of the premium features found in higher‑tier Kenmore models.
Everyday users generally appreciate the vacuum’s strong pet‑hair pickup, allergen‑trapping HEPA bag and lightweight feel, especially for quick whole‑home cleanings and car detailing. Recurring complaints focus on the unit’s weight when dragged over large areas, the need for frequent bag changes, the short cord length and the limited reach of the basic wand and attachments.
“solid for basic cleaning but with truncated cord (24 ft), no telescopic handle, and reduced reach compared to higher models; praises HEPA but criticizes short warranty.”
