I owned a Kenmore vacuum for about 20 years and I never had any issues with it - Cord management

Just Okay
- Motor power (watts/amps)
has a 600 W Motor - Price
they're both priced within $10 of each other - Suction power (air watts)
had 18 kilopascals - Warranty
they do both have one-year warranties
Needs Improvement
- Brush-roll removal/access for cleaning
doesn't pop out so you're going to have to do a little bit of manual cleaning when it does get tangled - LED headlights brightness / usefulness

Kenmore 200 Series vs 600 Series: Save Or Splurge?
What We Loved
- Allergen-containment seal
some of the best sealed vacuums I've ever seen - Attachment variety & compatibility
this is the pet Powermate tool - Build quality & durability
they're both very well-built Vacuums in my opinion - Button/switch placement
you can turn the vacuum on and off on the 600 series and you can easily control the amount of suction - Cleaning path width
it's 14 in wide - Cleaning performance on carpet
picked up 100% of the sand - Extension-wand reach & adjustability
the hose is almost a foot longer on the 600 series - Filtration quality (HEPA rating, multi-stage)
some of the best sealed vacuums I've ever seen - Onboard tool storage
everything fits inside the canister - Pet-hair pickup efficiency
does a great job with the pet hair - Power-cord length & auto-retract (corded)
it's 26 ft on the 600 series - Suction-power feel (real-world)
scored around 21 kilopascals
Just Okay
- Price
a little bit expensive - Weight
kind of heavy
Needs Improvement
- Hair-wrap prevention / anti-tangle tech
it does tend to get tangled up
