Panasonic MC-UL675 AeroSpin Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Dirt Sensor, Sherbert Blue Review

The saleswoman at my Best Buy store recommended this vacuum to me based on the previous Panasonic that they used to stock. I guess she figured that if the old one was so wonderful this new one mush be as well.
I got it home and there were a few things that I really liked. The fact that it automatically adjusted for different carpet heights, the retractable cord and the fact that it said the dirt cup was anti-static so as to release the dirt easier when emptying.
What I soon found out was that this vacuum has quite a few short comings. It is very top heavy. When standing up on carpet, the slightest touch will make it tumble backwards. The retractable cord which I was excited about ended up being rather short. I was not even able to vacuum my entire (average size) master bedroom without having to unplug it to finish. The lights that are supposed to tell you if they floor is clean or dirty are annoying and I think really just a gimmick. The turbo brush is really in an awkward spot on the handle and while pushing the vacuum in the reclined position, the hose continually falls out of the grove meant to hold it.
I finally decided to return it and purchase a Healthy Home. To my surprise, it turned out that the Panasonic really wasn't even working to well. I was able to vacuum my whole house and the dirt cut was about 1/2 full. They next day when I used the Healthy Home, I had to empty it after only doing my family room.
Bottom line, Don't bother with this Panasonic.

Equipped with AeroSpin technology, this bagless upright vacuum cleaner removes dirt from its filter every time it gets plugged in, ensuring constant, powerful suction. Its built-in electronic dirt sensor automatically detects dirt, and a selector switch makes it easy to choose between bare floors or carpet. The unit's carpet-height adjustment automatically adjusts to the proper setting for just about any carpet height, while its stretch hose, extension wand, and QuickDraw on-board tools allow instant access to above-floor cleaning. Tools include a dusting brush, crevice tool, and an air turbine--an air-powered brush for cleaning stairs, upholstery, and especially pet hair. The vacuum cleaner also provides an ergonomic and telescopic handle, fully adjustable to best fit the handle height to any user and those hard-to-reach places. In addition its dual HEPA filtration system helps control dust, and the large-capacity anti-static dirt cup with easy drop-down disposal eliminates the hassle of handling the filter. Other highlights include a 12 amp motor with motor protection, a wide cleaning path, a 15-inch nozzle, dual-edge cleaning, quiet operation, a 24-foot power cord, and an automatic cord reel that requires only a light touch to activate. The vacuum cleaner measures 16 by 13-1/2 by 36-1/6 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Panasonic MC-CG902 Canister Vacuum Cleaner, Burgundy finish Review

This Vac is the exact twin to my old Kenmore that just died, right down to the color, all the same markings and bells and whistles of the one I paid over $250.00 for 10 years ago, so when I saw it, and it was fairly cheap, I bought it! Well....there is one major difference...even though it is the same hp as my old one, it only has half the sucking power. I have dogs and birds and I need the flexibility of a canister and the old one just about took the carpet with it right up to it's dying day, THIS one, BRAND NEW, has about half the suction as the old one. It still picks up, don't get me wrong, but if you want a lot of power, this is not the vac for you. Otherwise, it is a great buy, the ease of use is good, the flexibility is good, if you have no dogs or cats, this would be a good buy for you. I wish I hadn't bought it though.

Panasonic MC-CG885 OptiFlow Lightweight Bag Canister Vacuum Cleaner
This vacuum cleaner sucks. There I said it, now that that's out of the way let's get down to the nitty gritty the down and dirty. For the past five years or so I've only been using bag less vacuums. I have three. A Eureka upright, a Panasonic small canister and a DustBuster. Bag less vacuums are a breed unto themselves. You get to save the cost of the bags but you have to figure out how to empty them without making a bigger mess than you just cleaned up. You have to supply a bag of some sort so you can contain the dirt and dispose of it neatly. With a bag vacuum like the MC-CG885 that's not a problem. What IS a problem is the bag inside is quite small and very costly. As Amazon doesn't sell it (yet??) I found it on the Internet for about $6 per bag. For a bag as small as it is, that could be quite an expensive proposition to maintain. My first thought is if you have new carpet, they usually shed for quite a while (my bag less upright pulled up a lot of blue fuzz) and you'll fill these bags very quickly. Going back to my first sentence, this "OptiFlow" has a lot of suction power. That's good it pulled up dirt like nobody's business.
To begin back at the beginning, assembling this vacuum was relatively easy. The hose attaches to the body with an easy twist and the wands also go together with positive latching mechanisms that are quite secure. Just make sure you connect the outboard power line so the beater bar and light get their power. It's a simple, one way is right, positive connection. When it's all together I noticed a few issues. There is a hook on the body to support the wand and head in an upright position for storage or rest. It sometimes tips over. If the head is set to anything other than extra low it always tips over. It won't park as easily as an upright. It on the other hand isn't as heavy as a typical upright. It's fairly maneuverable too. It has three free spinning casters on its bottom and they roll easily on carpet or floor. I have both. The power cord is VERY long so you can plug it in and clean a large area or maybe two rooms. It retracts easily with the press of the large button on the top of the canister. Under the "hood" it has hidden storage for the crevice tool and small brush. Both work as expected. The business end of the hose has a pistol type grip and sliding on off switch. This is where you can attach the tools or by disconnecting the head end power cord you can use one of the rods for an extended reach. The power switch is an Off, Floor, Carpet three position switch. It also controls the beater bar on the head piece. It operates smoothly and efficiently.
I experimented with different heights for the head end. At its lowest setting it has a tendency to want to pull you forward, It's very strong and digs into the carpet. As I raised it that corrected the situation and still got the cleaning done. Just be careful to get the right height setting. As for cleaning a floor, not so good. Light or loose dust is fine but for heavier grime you'll need something better for that. It's not a mop.
Changing the bag is easy and neat. It rests in a basket that has a handle to lift it out of the body. It's all under the big hood that opens easily. That the bag is small and expensive is the biggest most damning strike on this otherwise fine vacuum. It is also relatively quiet for one that is as powerful as it is. I would love to see Panasonic come up with an emptyable cartridge that would go where the bag is, but that's not going to happen.
To sum up. It's strong, quiet, easy to use and does a very good job. I just can't get over the fact that you will be running up serious expenses on bags.
UPDATE: March 14: I would raise the Star level to 4 now that Amazon is selling the bags and at a reasonable price (4 for $10). It ends my biggest gripe.

Panasonic MC-CG467 Multi-Surface Lightweight Canister Vacuum Cleaner, Light Blue Review

After replacing carpeting with wood flooring, I was on the lookout for a good, light weight canister. My upright did not work on the wood floors and the hose attachment created back-breaking work. Sweeping & swiffering still left dust behind. After many months of searching I found this Panasonic. My upright Panasonic has been a rugged, dependable machine, so I knew the brand would be a sound buy. This vacuum is just perfect for wood/laminate/tile floors. In addition it does great on area rugs (low pile) and it's a dream on stairs (carpeted). Light weight, easy to manuever, with very good suction. Powerhead adjusts to wood/carpet and the rotating brush makes sure all dirt disappears. Very pleased with this vacuum.

Equipped with a powerful 11 amp motor, this canister vacuum cleaner features a three-in-one multi-surface brush for cleaning all floor surfaces. Move from wood floors, to short-pile carpet, to long-pile carpet without ever reaching for a different nozzle. The unit's 360-degree swivel hose permits a wide range of cleaning, while its recessed attachment storage on top of the canister keeps the on-board crevice tool and dusting brush within reach for fast, easy access. Other highlights include a telescopic wand, a full furniture guard, edge cleaning, and a 12-inch nozzle, plus a three-stage HEPA filtration system and a high-efficiency dust bag that collects and protects leakage of dust. In addition, the unit provides motor protection, three-position height adjustment, soft wheels that protect wooden floors, two carry handles for simple mobility, and a 17-foot cord with automatic cord rewind. The lightweight and compact vacuum cleaner measures 18-2/7 by 13-4/5 by 12-4/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
