I ordered this because of the reputation of the Panasonic brand and I was not disappointed with the quality. It is made of high quality plastic. I would have given it 5 stars except that it is quite "top heavy". This vacuum cleaner, when it's at the regular resting position needs only a little nudge and it would topple over backwards. I have never seen a vacuum cleaner with such an unstable base. Perhaps the tiny wheels has something to do with it, or just the fact that most of the bulk is concentrated on the back side. The expandable hose is quite flexible but rather heavy. When you carry the vacuum cleaner around, be careful not to lift it by the adjustable hand grip as it is not equipped to handle the weight and it slides loose to the next height adjustment. The motor is quiet and it picks up dirt handily, even with just the attachments. The air driven turbine has an impressive design and it pivots. The cord retracts easily with just a push of a foot lever. I would recommend it but for it's instability and weight.

Great vacuum! I was tired of cheap vacuums that never worked, but I did not want to spend a ton of money. I feel like this is a great balance. Only complaint is that I have a hard time getting the canister out, but I am a goof so it is probably just me.

Big Disappointment ...
After owning and enjoying good performance from two other Panasonic vacuum sweepers, I was surprised by, and extremely disappointed in, the poor utility of the Model MC-UL671.
The filter system is a disaster. Sold as an improvement over the conventional `bag systems', the bag-less collector and filter system clogs easily, leaks dust, and is filthy to manage.
The suction strength is marginal. Suction is not evenly distributed across the brush-head resulting in poor lint or dog-hair pick-up.
The design and routing of the vacuum hose is problematic ... the vacuum hose constantly falls from its molded carrier during operation and must be repositioned.
The `hand tools' are difficult to utilize because the machine tends to `fall-over' (with a loud crash), often ejecting the filter system.
