Comment:
I have an older (1992) Panasonic canister vac. I also have the model posted for these reviews. The new unit is definitely lighter in weight. I also think it is quieter. As far as performance goes. The older unit edges ahead in overall performance. Something I noticed right away was the lightweight power head on the new one. I believe it to be some of the cause of the lesser performance, especially on carpet. However, if it performs fairly well as it does now. And doesn't become a fatality. It's a good buy for the price.

Cheaply made, clunky and awkward to use.

We use the product to vacuum our house - carpeting, kitchen vinyl and wood flooring. This is one of the most cheaply assembled pieces of junk I've ever seen. The brush assembly is constantly tangled in the carpeting, shutting off the brush. We have to regularly disassemble the brush to get it to work again - the plastic assembly is so cheaply molded the switch doesn't fit properly into the housing. Cheap plastic, cheap spring assemblies; the thing has the feel of a crummy knock-off. It's clunky, noisy and awkward in use. We don't expect it to last very long. It replaced an aging (1959?) Electrolux tank unit that still works great - the Electrolux went to the garage, but it's probably coming back very soon.
