Score: 80/100
Kenmore Pet-Friendly
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Oreck Commercial XL Pro 5 is an ultra-lightweight, bagged canister vacuum with strong suction and a long cord, making it ideal for tight-space and stair cleaning. Its small bag capacity and lack of automatic cord rewind are notable trade-offs. Best suited for users who prioritize portability and allergen filtration.
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.
