116.25915, 116.25914 specifications

The Kenmore 116.25915 and 116.25914 are part of Kenmore's renowned line of vacuum cleaners, known for their powerful performance, advanced technology, and user-friendly features. These models are designed to meet the cleaning needs of diverse households, making them popular choices among consumers.

One of the main features of the Kenmore 116.25915 and 116.25914 is their powerful 12-amp motor, which delivers strong suction for effective dirt and debris removal. This motor ensures that both models can tackle a variety of flooring surfaces, including carpets, hardwood, and tile, providing a versatile cleaning experience.

Another notable characteristic is the dual-motor design found in these models. This feature allows for enhanced suction power directly at the nozzle, making it easier to lift stubborn dirt from carpets and high-traffic areas. The powered nozzle also adapts to different carpet heights, ensuring optimal cleaning regardless of the surface.

The Kenmore 116.25915 and 116.25914 are equipped with a HEPA filtration system, which captures 99.97% of dust and allergens as small as 0.3 microns. This is especially beneficial for allergy sufferers, as it helps to maintain cleaner indoor air quality. The filters are washable and designed for durability, making maintenance straightforward and cost-effective.

Both models feature a spacious dust bag that can hold a significant amount of dirt before needing replacement, which adds to their convenience. The integrated bag indicator alerts users when it's time to change the bag, preventing loss of suction due to a full bag.

Additionally, these vacuums come with a range of attachments designed to enhance their cleaning capabilities. Tools such as a crevice tool, dusting brush, and upholstery nozzle provide the versatility needed to clean various surfaces, from tight corners to delicate upholstery.

The lightweight design and ergonomic handle of the Kenmore 116.25915 and 116.25914 ensure ease of use, allowing users to maneuver around furniture and carry the vacuum up and down stairs without strain.

Overall, the Kenmore 116.25915 and 116.25914 combine powerful suction, effective filtration, and user-friendly features, making them excellent choices for anyone seeking a reliable vacuum cleaner that excels in performance and convenience. With their thoughtful design and advanced technology, these models stand out in the competitive vacuum cleaner market.
