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.
