Alright, let’s be honest, vacuuming is one of those chores we all kind of hate. You tell yourself you’ll do it tomorrow, then somehow it turns into next week. But when the floors start crunching under your feet, there’s no escaping it.
I’ve used enough vacuums over the years to know one thing: the corded ones are a pain. You’re halfway through cleaning and the plug pops out of the wall, or the cord gets tangled around a chair leg, or you have to keep switching outlets every ten feet. It’s annoying. That’s why I moved to cordless vacuums a while back, and honestly, I’m not going back.
Kenmore, which has been around forever, is one of those brands that quietly makes solid stuff. They don’t always get the hype Dyson or Shark does, but their vacuums just work. And their 2025 cordless lineup? Surprisingly good. Not flashy, not over-engineered, just good, reliable machines that make cleaning a lot less miserable.
I’ve gone through the latest Kenmore cordless models, and after using them and reading a bunch of reviews, here’s my take on the best ones of 2025.
1. Kenmore DS4095
This one’s probably the star of the show. The Kenmore DS4095 is the kind of vacuum that makes you go, “Oh wow, cleaning doesn’t suck as much anymore.”
The first time I used it, I noticed how light it felt. You can easily lift it with one hand, which is great when you’re cleaning stairs or dragging it between rooms. The suction’s strong; it picks up dust, pet hair, and crumbs without you having to run over the same spot three times.
It runs on a 21.6V battery that gives you around 45 minutes of use. For me, that’s enough to do the whole apartment without stopping. The power stays consistent, too; it doesn’t start strong and then fade out halfway through.
One small thing I love: the LED lights on the front. It sounds silly, but you’d be shocked at how much dust hides under furniture until you actually see it. The light catches everything.
Emptying it is easy, the attachments click in smoothly, and it turns into a handheld vacuum when you need to do corners, furniture, or even the car.
2. Kenmore DS2010
The DS2010 is kind of the middle child in this list, not the fanciest, not the cheapest, but probably the best balance of both.
It’s powered by a 25.2V lithium battery, and it feels a bit stronger than the DS2000. What’s cool is how light it still is. I mean, you can hold it up with one hand and reach shelves or curtains without getting tired.
It’s got about 40–45 minutes of runtime, which is solid for a cordless. But what I really like about it is the EasyCut™ nozzle. If you’ve ever had long hair (or pets), you know that horrible moment when you flip your vacuum over and see a tangle of hair wrapped around the brush. This thing solves that. You just slide the cutter and the hair comes right off. It’s small, but it saves so much time.
The dust cup is easy to empty, and you can wash the filter, so to buy replacements every few months.
3. Kenmore DS2000
Now, if you’re not trying to spend too much but still want something reliable, the Kenmore DS2000 gets the job done. It’s kind of like the no-nonsense, “just grab it and go” vacuum.
It’s lighter than the other two, a little over five pounds, which makes it perfect for quick clean-ups. The suction isn’t as strong as the DS4095, but it’s more than enough for hardwood floors, rugs, and daily messes.
The 21.6V battery gives around 40 minutes of use. You can finish your main rooms in one go, and when you’re done, it just clicks back into the wall dock to charge.
It also converts into a handheld, which is handy for cleaning cars, couches, or stairs. I used it once to clean up after a small plant disaster (don’t ask), and it handled dirt and leaves without a hitch.
It has the same EasyCut™ nozzle, so you won’t have to fight tangled hair here either.
So, Which One Should You Get?
Here’s the deal: it really depends on your situation.
If you’ve got a bigger house or you just want something top-notch, go for the DS4095. It feels solid, runs longer, and has that nice “premium” feel without being overly complicated.
If you want great cleaning power but don’t care about fancy extras, the DS2010 is probably the best balance between price and performance. It’s the one I’d recommend to most people, honestly.
And if you live in an apartment, dorm, or just want a lightweight option for quick clean-ups, the DS2000 will make your life easier without costing a ton.
At the end of the day, these Kenmore cordless vacuums aren’t about bells and whistles; they’re about convenience. You pick one up, clean fast, and move on with your day. That’s it.
Once you go cordless, you’ll never want to deal with tangled cords again. And if you go with a Kenmore, chances are, you won’t have to replace it anytime soon, either.
