116.23513, 116.23512 specifications

The Kenmore 116.23512 and 116.23513 are elite canister vacuum cleaners designed to deliver exceptional cleaning performance for diverse floor types. These models stand out due to their robust construction, efficient filtration system, and adaptable features that cater to both basic and advanced cleaning requirements.

One of the main features of these vacuum cleaners is their powerful suction capability. Equipped with a potent motor, the Kenmore 116.23512 and 116.23513 can easily tackle dirt, dust, and debris embedded in carpets, hardwood floors, and upholstery. The variable power settings allow users to adjust the suction according to the surface being cleaned, providing a tailored cleaning experience.

These models also come with a comprehensive set of attachments designed for various cleaning tasks. The combination of a dusting brush, crevice tool, and upholstery nozzle ensures that every nook and cranny can be addressed. The telescoping wand enables efficient reach, making it easy to clean high corners or under furniture without straining.

Another significant characteristic of the Kenmore 116.23512 and 116.23513 is their advanced filtration system. These vacuums feature a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter that captures 99.97% of particles, including allergens and microscopic dust. This feature is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers, as it promotes better air quality while cleaning.

The design of the canister vacuums also emphasizes maneuverability and convenience. With a lightweight body and easy-glide wheels, users can effortlessly navigate around furniture and pull the vacuum along. Additionally, the large capacity dust canister minimizes the frequency of emptying, allowing for extended cleaning sessions between maintenance.

Both models are equipped with a range of modern technologies, including a smart LED indicator that alerts users when the bag needs replacement or when the filters require cleaning. This practical feature helps maintain optimal performance, ensuring the vacuum operates at peak efficiency.

In conclusion, the Kenmore 116.23512 and 116.23513 embody the ideal balance of powerful suction, versatile attachments, and advanced filtration technology. Their design and user-friendly features make them suitable for various cleaning needs, solidifying their place in households that prioritize cleanliness and air quality.
