This vacuum is just what I wanted. I have had an upright vacuum in an apartment with all hardwood floors for a while now. Not a good thing! When I use the hose (plus attachment) from the upright to vacuum the floor, the hose isn't long enough so I have to stoop and end up hurting my back every time. Plus, the upright is heavy and is always tipping over during this process. Very frustrating. This cute little canister vacuum will completely save my back. I just got it yesterday and tried it out last night. It has a long hose, so no stooping. The floor attachment angles, so it's easy to get under furniture and feel like you're actually picking up the dirt. It has great suction! Plus, it's so light weight, it's a breeze to maneuver. I was done vacuuming in such a short time! I really couldn't believe it. I'm very much looking forward to using this regularly. I love this vacuum!

I bought this little vacuum for my kitchen & dinning floors, but it does much more..
I cannot believe this little vacuum has stronger suction then my larger vacuums..Fantastic

I wanted a vacuum that had a bag, that would fit into my pantry,& had great suctions, and this fits the bill.

For my kitchen, I bought the cordless bagless electrolux,that was handy with out a cord, but the suctions was awful. The dirt/dust would just go right to the filter, and no suction. Plus it was a mess to empty.
I also bought that cordless type of carpet sweeper, that worked, but then I realized it was throwing the dust up my baseboards, and another mess to empty!!

The suction is fantastic.
Its so light weight to do the base-boards, the ceilings, you don't even know its following you.

It comes with a little attachment, that I thought was useless at first!
I now use it for my bathroom drawers, my kitchen drawers etc. Being that its small,it doesnt vacuum anything but the crumbs and all from the drawers.

I also have a big up right dyson, and a canister hover that vacuums deep in my carpets, but there heavy, and the dyson cannot get under any furnature its so big, and the on board attachments are a pain to get out.
I use this little one for a fast vacuum over my carpets and I was suprised it does such a good job.

This would be better if the cord was longer, but being this is so small, I don't think it can hold a longer electric cord.
I don't think the hose will last for years, as my other vacuums do, but for the almost $60.00, I think I got more then I expected, then any other vacuum I saw at walmart etc.
Sometimes the tubeing will come apart while vacuuming, but that is only a little unconvenance, cause it pulls apart easy to vacuum close to the kitchen baseboards, under the frig, stove.

I found the bags at a small store near me, and I live in a small mountain town in California, or they said they would order them..
Amazon sells these bags, so there should not be any problem.
I would buy this again for floors. Although I would not buy this to vacuum a big house. maybe a smaller apt. where the carpets or not real thick.

The long tube that's supposed to nest into the longer bits of the tube or the attachments does not fit well enough. During ten minutes of vacuuming, I probably have to pick up falling pieces about three or four times. The two attachments (a brush and angled-looking thing) also fall off (as does the head of the vacuum) and do not fit easily back into their holding place in the canister. The canister doesn't roll so much as gets dragged behind you since it constantly flips onto its side. The vacuum also takes up a surprising amount of storage space since the tube loops out from the body. In addition, the vacuum is difficult to get in and out of storage because the tube merely rests in place so it gets easily knocked over. There is also no good way to carry the vacuum when not in use. I really really really hate this vacuum.

I had bought a stand up vacuum($177) last year that Consumer Report rated high. What a disaster!!!!!!!!! It was too heavy for me and it was difficult to use and it burned the fringe on my oriental rug. I borrowed a friend's Panasonic, loved it and immediately ordered one. I can lift it with one finger; the suction is strong but does not destroy fringe and it takes little storage space. My apt is now cleaner than ever because I can do my rugs myself without hiring someone or getting a friend to vacuum -out of desperation! I had difficulty giving away my old vacuum because it was too heavy for people-even a 6 ft guy. The PANASONIC does turn over fairly easily but nothing is perfect and the price is very affordable.

Nice vacuum. Easy light but poor quality. The on/off switch broke after 6 months. Also cord is too short.
Closest repair center is at >20 miles. Not worth the effort for a $60 vacuum. Doubting whether to buy the same one again of a more expensive Miele.

For the price (around 70US), get a better no name at Walmart for example.
I purchased one from Walmart and I had it for a couple of years; it is still working fine but it was used to vacuum our cars. For the house and small jobs, I said I should buy a brand. Wrong decision.

This one
- NO indicator for bag replacement
- NOT powerful enough - it barely gets the dirt off a plain surface (no carpets)
- extremely noisy
- bags are pricey compared to other brands

I am so dissatisfied with it that I might give it away as a gift to someone interested.

This little vacuum is as powerful as it claims to be. It cleans bare floors and low-pile carpet or woven rugs. Also does a great job of getting pet hair off of upolstered furniture. It would be easier to hold on to if the wand was about 1/2 inch smaller in diameter but that might affect the suction. I have put a few wide rubberbands around the handle for a better grip as the plastic is slippery. I like to carry it while I vacuum and it certainly is light enough. The cord is a little short but that's not as important as the other features. I have not yet purchased bags so I can't say how difficult to find or expesive they are. I would recommend this as a very good product at a very good price. This is exactly what I was looking for.

The Panasonic MC3920 vacuum cleaner was purchased because of its size and weight--to meet a handicap situation. It's weight of around 10 pounds makes it easy to carry from place to place--including stairs. It cleans very well and without having to change attachments because the one floor attachment is used on both bare and carpeted floors. This vacuum is well worth its low price.

this is a good vacuum but the bags are way too small and has a short power cord. powerful suction and is nice and compact. very easy to carry it around in your hand while vacuuming.if i knew the bags were that small i would have never bought it.you can get larger bags for the same price on a lager canister that would last alot longer.

I really wanted to like this vacuum cleaner. I own two uprights, but they're both kind of clunky for vacuuming bare floors or doing a quick pick-up or dusting. At first glance this product seemed perfect -- lightweight; reasonable suction (I assumed); the usual Panasonic reliability (also assumed); and, for those of us who relate in that way to inanimate objects, it was kind of cute.

What a disappointment. The one positive (other than cuteness) is that it did a good job on bare floor. However, the relatively short power cord made vacuuming a large room less convenient than it should have been. The unit also had an annoying habit of rearing up on its wheels when pulled with anything more than a gentle tug. The supplied dust brush, with its narrow air intake, allowed for very little suction and therefore was virtually useless. (A standard size dust brush doesn't fit on the wand.) The unit also generated an obnoxious, burning-type smell, which is what finally pushed me into returning it. Amazon, as usual, was good about that.
