Difference Between Kenmore Vacuum Models 311 & 3911

3911 Features

• The 3911 Intuition vacuum cleaner has an infrared dirt sensor, LED headlight, direct drive beltless nozzle, and a power flow bag management system to prolong the life of the dirt bag. The vacuum cleaner also has a long telescoping wand and pet tool attachment. A HEPA filter helps remove allergens and dust from the air. As of July 2011, the 3911 cost approximately $200.

3911 Specifications

• Weighing in at 19 lbs., the 3911 vacuum cleaner comes with a one-year limited warranty. It is recommended for both carpets and bare floors and has a cleaning path width of 13 inches. A cord length of 35 feet allows the user to move easily between rooms before needing to change the power outlet, and a 12-amp motor allows for powerful suction. Four different height adjustments are available to move between bare floors, delicate carpets, normal carpet height and deep pile rugs or carpets.

3110 Features

• Similar in many ways to the 3911 unit, the 3110 vacuum cleaner is also called the Intuition. It has a long telescoping wand to allow users to reach corners, under furniture and even ceilings. The vacuum cleaner has a direct drive beltless agitator to eliminate the problem of cracked or broken belts that require replacement and a LED headlight for cleaning in dim lights or for illumination under furniture. A pet tool is also included with the vacuum cleaner to remove pet hair from carpets, floors and upholstery. However, unlike the 3911, the 3110 cleaner has a filterless dust cup and a dual chamber bag system with power flow to allow more dirt to be suctioned before the bag needs to be changed. As of July 2011, the 3110 cost approximately $225.

3110 Specifications

• Available with a one-year limited warranty, the 3110 vacuum cleaner has a 12-amp motor for powerful motion and suction. It also has four height adjustments to switch between bare floors and a variety of carpet depths, from delicate to deep. However, this vacuum cleaner is different from the 3911 in that it has a slightly larger cleaning path that is 15 inches in size but a somewhat shorter reach with a 30-foot long cord instead of 35.
