116.22812, 116.22813 specifications

The Kenmore 116.22813 and 116.22812 are two prominent models in the Kenmore vacuum cleaner lineup, known for their strong performance and user-friendly features. Both models embody a balance of power, efficiency, and convenience, catering to the needs of various households.

One of the defining characteristics of the Kenmore 116.22813 and 116.22812 is their powerful motor, which provides robust suction capabilities. The dual-motor system enhances performance on both carpets and hard floors, allowing users to easily transition between different surfaces without sacrificing cleaning efficiency. This feature is especially important for homes with mixed flooring, ensuring that dirt and debris are effectively removed.

Another key feature is the included HEPA filtration system. This advanced technology captures 99.97% of dust and allergens, making these models ideal for allergy sufferers. The sealed design ensures that particles are contained within the vacuum, preventing them from being released back into the air. This focus on air quality makes the Kenmore 116.22813 and 116.22812 standout options for health-conscious consumers.

In terms of usability, both models come equipped with an array of attachments and tools designed to enhance versatility. The upholstery tool, crevice tool, and dusting brush make it easy to clean various surfaces and hard-to-reach areas. Additionally, their long power cords increase the cleaning radius, reducing the need to frequently change outlets.

The design of these vacuums also emphasizes user comfort. The lightweight build and ergonomic handle make maneuvering easier, while the smooth-gliding wheels ensure effortless movement across floors. Additionally, their bagged system holds more dirt compared to bagless counterparts, resulting in less frequent emptying and maintenance.

Another noteworthy aspect is their whisper-quiet technology, which allows for cleaning without disturbing others in the home. This feature is particularly beneficial for families with young children or sensitive pets.

In summary, the Kenmore 116.22813 and 116.22812 stand out due to their powerful suction, HEPA filtration, and user-friendly design. With versatile attachments and a focus on air quality, these models are ideal for anyone seeking a reliable and efficient cleaning solution. Whether addressing everyday dirt or tackling specific allergens, these Kenmore vacuums provide the performance and convenience necessary for thorough home cleaning.
