Kenmore Pet-Friendly
Score: 72/100
Eureka WhirlWind
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Eureka WhirlWind NEN110A is a bagless canister vacuum with swivel steering, a three-position airflow dial and a 2.5 L dust cup, providing convenient maneuverability. Its short 16-ft cord and modest power rating may restrict deep-carpet cleaning. It works well for small-to-medium spaces where ease of use is key.
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.

Professional listings from Staples, Eureka's own site, and HSN focus on the vacuum's lightweight build, seamless swivel steering, and multi-surface cleaning capability. They commend the quick-empty dust cup and the three-position airflow dial, while noting the relatively short 16-ft cord as a limitation compared with some competitors.
Everyday shoppers repeatedly mention how easy the unit is to maneuver, especially on stairs and around furniture, and they value the bagless system with washable filters. The quick-empty dust cup and swivel steering are frequently praised, while no major complaints appear in the limited user feedback.
