What is the filtration system of the Kenmore Elite 31150?

The Kenmore Elite 31150 is a bagged upright vacuum cleaner that uses advanced filtration to remove dust, dirt, and other particles from the air as it cleans your floors. The vacuum's filtration system consists of several layers of filters that work together to trap even the smallest particles and prevent them from escaping back into the air.

The first filter in the Kenmore Elite 31150's filtration system is a pre-motor filter, which captures large particles and debris before they can enter the motor. The pre-motor filter is washable and reusable, and should be cleaned regularly to maintain suction power and performance.

The second filter is a HEPA filter, which stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air. HEPA filters are designed to capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust mites, pollen, and pet dander. The Kenmore Elite 31150's HEPA filter is located after the motor and traps the finest particles before the air is expelled back into your home.

In addition to the pre-motor and HEPA filters, the Kenmore Elite 31150 also features a certified asthma and allergy friendly® filter, which is designed to capture allergens and irritants that can trigger asthma and allergy symptoms. The vacuum's filtration system also includes a dustbin filter, which helps to prevent particles from escaping when you empty the dustbin.
