Kenmore has been a reliable name in home cleaning for decades. The DU1275 upright vacuum upholds that reputation with a specific focus on a common modern problem: tangled hair. Its Hair Eliminator brushroll is the core feature, designed to slice through hair wrap without requiring manual cutting.

In practice, this means you spend less time on maintenance and more on cleaning. The 3-liter dust cup is a practical size, letting you cover multiple rooms before needing a trip to the trash. Swivel steering makes navigating around chair legs and under tables straightforward, and the four height adjustments provide adequate transition from hard floors to medium-pile carpet. The included Pet HandiMate and other tools store onboard, which is convenient for quick above-floor tasks.

It’s a corded model, so you trade unlimited runtime for the hassle of plug management. The foam filter requires regular washing to maintain suction. For homes with shedding pets or long hair, however, the DU1275’s brushroll system delivers tangible, daily convenience that justifies its place in your cleaning routine.
