The Kenmore BU1018 is a bagged upright vacuum made for pet hair, dust, dander and everyday messes on carpet and bare floors. It uses an Inducer Motor, which Kenmore says delivers 20% more airflow, along with a 3-Motor Direct Drive system. Two of the motors are in the nozzle, so there are no belts to change.
Filtration combines a sealed AllergenSeal system with HEPA, which traps 99.97% of dust and particles down to 0.3 microns. A double-wall bag chamber (PowerFlow Technology) keeps suction strong as the bag fills. An LED dirt sensor and headlight help spot hidden dirt and show when an area is clean.
The vacuum has 5 height levels and a bare-floor switch for moving between carpet and hardwood. A 10 ft telescoping wand and a 30 ft cord extend its reach. The Pet HandiMate tool lifts pet hair and dander from furniture, stairs and upholstery.
