Product Description
Amazon.com Review
This tidy little Panasonic canister vacuum provides surprising power for its compact size, making it perfect for quick pickups or small areas. A 10-amp machine with bagged dirt collection, the canister features a convenient bag-storage hatch and weighs less than 9 pounds. The floor nozzle has a 12-inch cleaning path and a single straight brush to agitate surface dirt. Designed for comfort and varied surfaces, the unit's wand features adjustable suction control, a curved grip, and a long flexible hose. In addition to the floor nozzle, it also works with two extension wands and a crevice tool that stores out of sight onboard the canister. Welcome details on this unit include automatic cord retraction, a simple power switch, and dual carrying handles. The "stand-by storage" is also helpful--the floor nozzle slides onto a notch on the canister to stand upright by itself. For storage purposes, the hose detaches completely. The vacuum comes with sturdy casters, a pivoting front wheel, and a 17-foot power cord. --Emily Bedard

Best lightweight vac you'll find,
By LHaskins (Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic MC-V3900 Canister Vacuum, Blue (Kitchen)
I initially was looking for a stick vac for lightweight, quick everyday clean-ups of our kitchen and hardwood floors. (More specifically, I have one toddler and one baby, who is at that curious age where anything on the floor is fair game to eat.) After buying and then returning a bagless stick vac, I realized what features I wanted or did not want:
1) I did not want the mess of bagless cups and filters (the mess from kitchen food/crumbs and dust/lint from heavy traffic hardwood areas did not interest me). This Panasonic has bags that can easily be found on Amazon or other sites. 2) I wanted manueverability. This vac is very portable at only 8 lbs. and is small enough to follow you wherever you go. 3) I wanted vertical storage. This cool blue vac stores just like a stick vac, and for more compact storage than the picture shows (without the bend in the hose sticking out), you can disconnect the hose and neatly tie it around the standing extension wand. 4) I wanted long reach with a power cord OVER 16 feet. 16-feet really isn't enough. If you have read other stick vac reviews, you already know this. The stick vac I tried and returned was 16-feet -- more proof 16 isn't enough (manufacturers probably researched that going longer than 16 to 18-feet would make cord storage and manual cord "wrapping" a hassle). Furthermore, I don't trust rechargeable vacs because you will either end up needing your vac when there's little charge left or if you keep it in the charger the battery will be burnt out in a year. I was happy to see that this Panasonic mini-canister had 17. OK, what's one foot, but the true beauty of a 17-ft cord on this baby is that with the hose and extensions wands, my reach ends up being more like 23-ft+! I got a total convenience package with this Panasonic 3900. - it's mess-free (bags are still popular for a reason) - it's lightweight with long reach - it stands in a corner - it's available every minute of every day because you don't have to worry about a charge - it has an automatic cord reel for quick putaways; Panasonic incorporates this great feature on many of their vacs - it has rubber bumpers so that when you pull around chairs and table legs, there is no harm done to the legs or to the beautiful blue casing - it has small wheels on the sweeper head, making it really easily to glide across floors and area rugs - it has excellent suction...perfect for bare floors and small rugs and the occasional touching-up of surface dirt on carpeted areas (don't expect it to really clean your carpet) - it's awesome! It is hard to find Panasonic vacuums to check-out in person, but after seeing and trying a similar but heavier bagless Kenmore (which Panasonic makes for Sears) I felt very comfortable with this purchase. I also own a 20-lb Kenmore upright made by Panasonic and love it as well. I love my new Panasonic mini-canister vac and am looking forward to using it everyday. I got this from Amazon during a promotion that reduced the price a little but even for its everday price it is a great value, and I love that it looks so cool.

4.0 out of 5 stars
good value in a small package,
By Damon P Schreiber (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic MC-V3900 Canister Vacuum, Blue (Kitchen)
This is a great little vacuum cleaner that takes up so very little space. When you compare its price level with some larger models it becomes very attractive, as long as your needs match what it offers. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a heavily carpeted area to vacuum. But for bare floors, the odd rug, and all those dust-catching nooks and crannies, this certainly does the trick. Part of its appeal is certainly its light weight which makes carrying it up and down stairs and holding in one hand while vacuuming ceiling edges with the other trivially easy. Just keep in mind that this is a minimalist vacuum cleaner. No bells and whistles; just what you need to get the job done well and with a dash of style. Never yet been disappointed with a Panasonic product.

Small. Blue. Cheap. What's not to like?,
By PScooter63 (Pelham, AL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic MC-V3900 Canister Vacuum, Blue (Kitchen)
I ordered this little blue marvel based not only on the strength of its reviews here, but also on my affinity for Panasonic products in general. On very rare occasions I have been disappointed, but this was not one of them.
There are many sterling (and accurate) reviews here already. So here's a few details that have not been mentioned yet: Panasonic's website claims a capacity of 1.8 liters... yup, less than a 2-liter soft drink. Not a problem for me, but knowing that may help with your expectations if you're unable to try one out in person. The ONLY thing I'd change is the hose. It's pretty short, and made of plastic, rather than rubber or vinyl or whatever. It's not as flexible as you'd expect. You say, "Big deal," and if you're shorter than six feet, you'd be right. I'm over six feet, and have a proportionally long stride and reach... longer than the hose, in fact. Thus if I take my accustomed long sweeps when vacuuming the floor, the tiny canister flails back and forth behind me. No harm in that, really, because it doesn't weigh squat, and it's plenty sturdy. But if I want to control the canister, I must resort to shorter (and more frequent) strokes. It's not a priority, but I'm considering a visit to the local vac shop to see if there's a better hose that fits. Lastly: comments about noise level are so subjective. Suffice it to say that in a small room, I can sustain conversation with only a slight raising of my voice. To summarize, there is nothing in this little guy's price range that touches it in terms of performance and design. In fact, I paid nearly double for a clever-looking competitor from a local chain that was underpowered and poorly designed under the covers. Basically, this blue Panasonic leaves everything else... (wait for it)... in the dust.
