Kenmore Elite Ultra Plush 700 Series Bagged Canister Vacuum

The Kenmore Elite Ultra Plush 700 Series is a bagged canister vacuum designed for home cleaning across mixed flooring types, particularly homes with plush carpets and pets. Its two-motor design delivers power to both the suction system and brush head, helping clear dirt from hard floors, area rugs, carpeted stairs, and furniture.

Navigating thick carpeting can often feel difficult, but this model features an Ultra Plush nozzle with built-in vent inlets. These vents adjust airflow to reduce push-pull effort by up to 32 percent on deep pile carpets. Four height adjustment levels let you match the nozzle position to your floor surface. Dual LED headlights built into both the floor nozzle and the wand illuminate dim corners and spaces beneath furniture, while swivel steering helps guide the head around obstacles.

For detail work, the telescoping wand extends reach up to 9.5 feet for floor-to-ceiling cleaning, while the detachable handle connects to specialized attachments. Pet owners can attach the motorized Pet PowerMate to lift embedded fur and debris from stair treads, cushions, and car interiors. Dirt collects in a 2.8-liter bag using a double-wall Power-Flow design that maintains air movement as the bag fills. A completely sealed system equipped with HEPA filtration traps 99.97 percent of dust and particles down to 0.3 microns inside the unit.

While the bagged system avoids the messy cloud of emptying a dust cup, it does require keeping replacement bags on hand. Canister vacuums also require pulling the main body along as you clean, which takes up more floor space during storage than a slim stick vacuum. Additionally, the listing does not state the total weight of the canister or the noise level during operation.

Verdict: This canister vacuum is a solid choice for households with thick carpeting, pets, and allergy concerns. It combines sealed HEPA filtration, specialized pet hair tools, and a vented carpet nozzle for thorough house cleaning.
