Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus vs Kenmore Elite 31150 Pet Friendly Upright Vacuum

The Kenmore Elite 31150 is the stronger pick for most pet owners: a beltless direct-drive system, true HEPA filtration rated to 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns, five height settings and a 35-foot cord. The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus is lighter at 15 lbs, bagless with a tangle-free brush roll, and backed by a 5-year limited warranty, which suits quick daily cleanups and people who dislike buying bags. Owners rate the Kenmore higher (4.6 vs 4.2), and its sealed bag keeps dander out of the air better; the Bissell wins on weight and simpler upkeep.

• Choose the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus if you want a light bagless upright with a tangle-free brush roll and a long warranty for fast pet-hair passes on rugs and upholstery.
• Choose the Kenmore Elite 31150 if you have allergies or heavy shedding and want beltless power, sealed HEPA filtration and a long cord for whole-home cleaning.
