Kenmore has introduced a new model in its Litening™ line of cordless upright vacuums, combining powerful suction with cord-free convenience. Like the previous CU7000 series, this latest Kenmore Litening™ Cordless Upright Vacuum is designed for households with pets and promises deep cleaning performance across carpets, rugs, and hard floors.
Kenmore CU5001 Litening
Price as of March 2, 2026
Powered by an integrated 24V lithium-ion battery and a brushless motor, it delivers up to 40 minutes of runtime on a single charge. A docking station and 3-in-1 combination tool are also included for convenient charging and storage.
The vacuum uses Kenmore’s completely sealed AllergenSeal™ System with HEPA filtration to capture 99.97% of dust, allergens, and pet dander—helping improve indoor air quality while you clean.
Additional features include Lift-Up® technology for easy stair and above-floor cleaning, a Hair Eliminator® nozzle that prevents hair from wrapping around the brushroll, and a bright LED display with cleaning mode and battery indicators.
While earlier Litening models offered removable batteries, this new version integrates the battery directly into the unit. Vacuum Wars has not yet reviewed this model, but it appears to continue Kenmore’s trend of delivering strong performance and upright-style suction in a cordless, pet-friendly design.
