Kenmore Elite CSV DS4030

Top Cordless Vacuum Under $150

What We Loved

• Airflow (CFM)
  was about 16 m/ second
• Battery runtime / Charging time
  you can get about 45 minutes on a single charge
• Cleaning performance on carpet
  it also picked up 95%
• Cleaning performance on hard floors
  picked up 100% of the sand we dumped on hardwood
• Dust-bin capacity
  Canmore which is a full liter
• Dust-bin sealing (to prevent dust escape)
  actually is pretty well sealed it's not perfect but it's pretty darn good
• Filter replacement cost
  you can get three of them for $20 on Amazon
• Fold-flat or telescoping design
  has an easy reach wand which bends it's easy to get under furniture and beds
• LED headlights brightness / usefulness
  it does have LEDs
• Maneuverability & swivel steering
  it makes it really easy to handle
• Stair-cleaning convenience
  not quite as good on stairs as the Kenmore is
• Suction power (air watts)
  had 20 kilopascals of suction
• Weight
  only 5.8 lb as I measured it

Just Okay

• Build quality & durability
  does not feel quite as solid
• Wall-mounted charging dock
  you have to sort of charge it up separately it's not integrated into the wall mount

Needs Improvement

• Hair-wrap prevention / anti-tangle tech
  it is not anti-tangle
• Replaceable-battery convenience
  has a built-in battery that is not removable
