The Kenmore EnviroSense is one of the 30 air purifiers tested by Consumer Reports in its October 2005 category roundup. By injecting allergens into a test chamber, then measuring air purifier performance at several time intervals on both high and low speeds, editors test models for dust and smoke removal, ozone emission and noise level.

In this write-up, air-purifier expert Ed Sherbenou notes the similarity of the Kenmore 85500 EnviroSense to the Sharp PlasmaCluster FP-NC60X. While he doesn't conduct hands-on testing, Sherbenou evaluates the Kenmore model based on its specifications and features, and on a handful of owner-written reviews he found at Epinions.

Most of the owners posting at Sears.com are very happy with the EnviroSense air purifier. A few note the high cost of its replacement filters. Noise doesn't appear to be a big problem. One user says it is too noisy to use while sleeping, however.
