Kenmore 22614 Pet Friendly Lightweight Bagless Compact Canister Vacuum with Pet Powermate (HEPA) — Purple
Product description
If pet hair has a permanent membership in your home, this Kenmore 22614 bagless canister vacuum is built around that problem. On paper, it focuses on three things: fast floor cleaning across the house, a pet-focused motorized tool to pull stubborn hair, and a HEPA filter system meant to trap fine debris.
The catch? It’s still a compact canister, not a full-size upright replacement for every deep-cleaning scenario. If you want one machine that handles everything with zero compromises, you may find yourself wanting more than what a streamlined design can do. But if your priority is pet hair + practical maneuvering, this one looks like it fits the brief.
The essentials: what it is and what you’ll use it for
This is a bagless canister vacuum designed to clean multiple floor areas “within your home, den, kitchen, car or garage.” The transparent, easy-to-empty canister is meant to keep maintenance straightforward because you’re not swapping bags.
For pet households, the key is the included Pet Powermate: a motorized attachment designed to lift pet hair, dander, and dirt from surfaces. The description also highlights a brush design meant to reduce hair tangling around the brush—something that can be a daily annoyance with many pet tools.
Because it’s a canister, you’re likely to use it where reach and flexibility matter: floors, plus furniture and tight spaces with the detachable handle and included tools.
What you’ll notice day to day
A pet tool that targets tangles
The Pet Powermate is the centerpiece if you deal with shed hair on carpets, rugs, or other floor types. The way it’s described suggests it’s meant to move hair and debris efficiently while reducing the “hair wrapped around the brush” problem.
In real life, that usually means fewer interruptions. Instead of stopping mid-session to untangle a brush roll, you can keep vacuuming until the mess is gone.
HEPA meant to trap fine debris
The HEPA filter system is presented as an “enhanced HEPA filter system” that traps 99.97% of debris, aiming to keep dander and dust inside the vacuum rather than back in the room. It’s positioned as a way to reduce allergy-induced pollutants.
This doesn’t guarantee relief for everyone—airborne allergy triggers are complicated—but as a design goal, it’s clearly aimed at households that care about fine particulates.
Telescoping reach for furniture and tight spots
The telescoping wand adjusts to extend reach up to 9 feet. There’s also a detachable handle, which is described as perfect for thoroughly cleaning furniture, car interiors, and tighter spaces. That’s the kind of feature that makes the vacuum feel more “complete” for everyday messes beyond the floor.
Storage and handling: compact, but still thoughtful
Kenmore lists the vacuum as 22 lbs, positioning it as compact and lightweight for maneuvering. It also includes a built-in handle for lifting and a retractable 24-foot cord.
Accessories are meant to store neatly within the vacuum, which matters more than people expect. If you’re the type who keeps tools in a bin that never stays organized, this “fits within the vacuum” approach could save you time.

Where it shines (and where it may not)
If you’re shopping for a bagless canister vacuum that’s specifically oriented toward pet mess—especially hair on carpet and rugs—this is a strong match on paper. The combo of Pet Powermate + HEPA filtration + added tools suggests it’s meant for routine cleaning where you move from floors to furniture and even into cars or garages.
However, you may want to be realistic about expectations. A compact canister can be less “all-in-one” than larger or more specialized deep-cleaning machines, especially if you’re tackling heavy stains, very thick pile, or frequent, intensive wall-to-wall cleanup. The design sounds convenient, but compactness can also mean you may not feel like you’re getting the most aggressive cleaning possible.
It also depends on your floor mix. If you mostly vacuum delicate hard floors only, you might not fully use the pet motorized power the way a carpet-and-rug household would.
Everyday tips to get the most from it
Start with the Pet Powermate where shedding shows up most—carpeted rooms and area rugs. When you switch to furniture or car interiors, use the detachable handle and the on-board attachments to avoid dragging the main body around.
When you empty the transparent canister, aim for consistent routine: don’t wait until it’s overflowing. The whole bagless design is easiest to live with when the container isn’t packed.
And if allergies are part of the picture, treat filtration as part of the routine. A HEPA-focused vacuum only performs as designed if the system is kept clean and maintained in line with the included setup guidance.
In the box / included tools
Two on-board cleaning tools are listed: a dusting brush and a crevice tool, meant to help you handle transitions between surfaces.
Is it worth it?
Buy the Kenmore 22614 if you want a lightweight, maneuverable bagless canister vacuum that’s clearly tailored for pet households—especially for lifting pet hair on carpet and rugs, with HEPA filtration aimed at trapping fine debris. The telescoping wand, detachable handle, retractable cord, and included tools also make it practical for furniture and tight spaces, including car or garage cleaning.
Skip it if you’re looking for a vacuum that’s optimized for heavy-duty deep-cleaning above all else, or if you mainly need something for very specific hard-floor-only cleaning where a pet-focused motorized tool may be more than you need.
It’s a sensible pick when your day-to-day problem is pet shedding and you want fewer hassles (like an approach meant to reduce hair tangling) rather than a complicated maintenance process.
