116.25513, 116.25512 specifications

The Kenmore 116.25512 and 116.25513 are two highly regarded models in Kenmore's lineup of vacuum cleaners, known for their efficiency, reliability, and user-friendly features. Both models are designed to cater to a variety of cleaning needs, making them suitable for households with different lifestyles and floor types.

One of the standout features of the Kenmore 116.25512 and 116.25513 is their powerful suction capability, thanks to their efficient motor systems. This ensures thorough cleaning on both carpets and hard floors, effectively picking up dust, dirt, and pet hair. The vacuums are equipped with multi-cyclonic technology, which separates dirt and debris from the air, maintaining optimum performance without losing suction power over time.

Both models come with a variety of attachments that enhance their versatility. The included tools often feature a combination of a crevice tool and a dusting brush, allowing users to easily reach tight spaces and delicate surfaces. The telescoping wand offers added reach for high or hard-to-access areas, making cleaning less of a chore.

Another significant characteristic of these models is their advanced filtration system. They utilize a HEPA filtration system that captures 99.97% of allergens and particulates as small as 0.3 microns. This is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers, as it helps ensure that dust and allergens are trapped inside the vacuum and not released back into the air during cleaning.

Design-wise, the Kenmore 116.25512 and 116.25513 are user-friendly. The lightweight design makes them easy to maneuver, and the ergonomic handle adds comfort during prolonged use. Additionally, the large capacity dustbin means fewer trips to the trash, providing convenience and efficiency in cleanup.

In terms of noise level, these models operate relatively quietly compared to many other vacuums in the same category, allowing users to clean without disturbing the entire household.

Overall, the Kenmore 116.25512 and 116.25513 provide a balanced mix of power, convenience, and advanced technology. Whether users need to tackle pet hair on carpets or maintain a clean hard floor, these vacuums stand out as reliable companions in the quest for a clean home. With their thoughtful features and solid performance, they are well-suited to meet the demands of modern living.
