Kenmore Launches B200 Series Bagged Upright Vacuum

Kenmore has added a new upright model to its lineup with the B200 Series Bagged Upright Vacuum, offering a more traditional cleaning format aimed at users who prefer the familiarity and simplicity of bagged systems. The B200 appears positioned as a general-purpose home vacuum, with features that align with entry-level to midrange upright models.

Price as of July 16, 2026

Lightweight for Easier Handling

Weighing in at under 11 pounds, the B200 is noticeably lighter than many traditional bagged uprights. This lower weight can make it easier to push across carpets, lift up stairs, or store between uses.

At under 11 pounds, the Kenmore B200 Upright Vacuum is lightweight and easy to maneuver throughout the home.

Two-Speed Motor Control for Versatility

The B200 includes a two-speed motor control, allowing users to switch between lower and higher suction modes. This may be helpful for transitioning between area rugs, low-pile carpet, and bare floors without overwhelming delicate surfaces.

Bagged Upright Vacuum with Allergen Filtration

The B200 Series uses a HEPA-certified bagged system, which can be beneficial for households with allergy concerns. Kenmore notes that the filtration system traps 99.97% of dust, pollen, and dander, a standard claim among HEPA-equipped vacuums.

Extra-Large 14-Liter Dust Bags

One standout feature is the vacuum’s 14-liter dust bag capacity. That’s significantly larger than many standard uprights, reducing how often users will need to replace bags—especially useful in homes with pets or high traffic. The vacuum uses Type O style dust bags, which are relatively common and can be found through third-party sellers.

Other Features and Design Notes

  • LED headlight: Mounted on the floor nozzle to improve visibility while cleaning.
  • HEPA-certified filtration: Traps 99.97% of dust and allergens inside the bag.
  • 5-position height adjustment: Manually adjusts the nozzle for different carpet heights or bare floors.
  • Motorized brush roll: Helps agitate carpet fibers to lift debris.
  • 30-foot cord: Offers extended reach without frequent unplugging.
  • Onboard tools: Includes a dusting brush, crevice tool, and upholstery brush, all stored on the vacuum.

While the B200 may not include high-end features like a swivel head or smart detection of debris or floor types, it focuses on durability and simplicity. With its lightweight frame, adjustable suction, and high-capacity bag system, it could appeal to users looking for a low-cost upright vacuum built around proven design choices.
