Kenmore Elite 81714 Pet Friendly Ultra Plush Lightweight Bagged Canister Vacuum with Pet PowerMate, HEPA, Extended Telescoping Wand, Retractable Cord, and 3 Cleaning Tools-Champagne

Kenmore 81714 Bagged Canister Vacuum is a corded vacuum cleaner designed for homes that need focused pet hair pickup, flexible floor care, and contained dust collection. Its combination of a Pet PowerMate attachment, HEPA filter system, and multiple cleaning tools makes it a fit for shoppers who want one vacuum for carpet, floors, furniture, vehicles, and other areas around the home.

The Pet PowerMate attachment is one of the most important features for pet owners. Its motorized design helps lift stubborn pet hair, dander, and dirt from surfaces, while the design helps prevent hair from tangling around the brush. The Ultra Plush nozzle is designed for deeper cleaning through powerful airflow, with manual pile height adjustment to match cleaning needs.

The Kenmore 81714 also focuses on reach and convenience. The telescoping aluminum wand adjusts for extended cleaning access up to 10 feet, and the detachable handle can be used for furniture, car interiors, and tight spaces. The 26 foot retractable cord and onboard storage for attachments help keep the vacuum organized between uses. The included cleaning tools add flexibility for different surfaces and tasks.

There are some design choices to consider before buying. This is a bagged canister vacuum, so shoppers who prefer a different style of collection or a cordless setup may want another type of vacuum. The pile height adjustment is manual, which means buyers should be comfortable making that adjustment when needed.

Verdict: The Kenmore 81714 is a strong choice for shoppers who want a pet focused bagged canister vacuum with HEPA filtration, extended reach, and dedicated attachments. It is best suited for buyers who value these cleaning features and less suited for anyone specifically looking for a battery powered model.
