Kenmore Pet Friendly POP-N-GO Bagged Canister Vacuum vs Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus

Buy the Kenmore 81714 if you want a canister that reaches under furniture, handles stairs safely and seals dust in a bag. Buy the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Turbo Plus if you want an upright with a tangle-free brush roll, a long cord and a five-year warranty. The Kenmore is heavier at 22 lbs and has a one-year warranty, but its HEPA bag and Pet Powermate suit allergy sufferers. The Bissell is lighter at 15 lbs and rated well by pet owners, but its bagless bin needs frequent emptying.

• Choose the Kenmore if you have pets and allergies, clean stairs and under-furniture gaps, and prefer sealed bagged dust disposal.
• Choose the Bissell if you want a lighter upright with a tangle-free brush roll, a 30-foot cord and a five-year warranty.
