Bought this about 6 months ago and based on my previous experience with Panasonic electronic products and the relatively high price I expected at least a decent vacuum. I was wrong. Belt broke after first couple of uses. It is made in Mexico and it shows; upon closer examination one can easily see badly finished components which don't seem to fit well. It took me 15 minutes to fit the handle on the vacuum, which is a metal tube, how is that for a Panasonic product??? This vacuum is also heavy compared to others in its class. Louder than the average new vacuum. Less power than the Eureka I got at WalMart at Christmas for $40. Actualy less of everything compared to that vacuum. And the Eureka is light like a feather compared to the Panasonic. To be honest, I don't know why didn't I ship it back right away. This may have been a decent vacuum 30-40 years ago, but today I would certainly expect better performance. To sum it up, worst vacuum I ever owned. Hope this helps.

I purchased this vacuum for my daughter for Christmas. She has a golden retriever and this vacuum was recommended by several amazon customers. Based on their positive report I purchased the vacuum thinking our pet-hair problem was solved. The belt broke during the first use. I had it repaired and she used it twice when the belt broke again. If you have pets I would not recommend purchasing this vacuum. I now use it to vacuum the basement and it works okay.

I bought it six month ago, but it is out of order. I only used less than 10 times. Panasonic customer center just informd me the location of the service center, and never responded for my further query on the pickup service etc. Pls don't buy the panasonic vacuumm.You'll regret it

I didn't buy my vacuum on Amazon.com, so what I paid was much higher than $99. I paid about $150 for my vacuum (which is what you'll pay after S&H, so I guess it makes sense) and it is little more than capable. But for $150, capable simply isn't good enough. Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting this thing to suck the paint off the walls or suck up chunks of concrete, I just want it to get up the dust mites, strands of hair, dropped cereal, and the like.......you know, the stuff it's SUPPOSED to pick up. But it would appear that this thing even has trouble picking up stuff that it should pick up. There are some pretty cool features here, but nothing outstanding. You can vacuum floors as well as carpets, so that's pretty cool. As a matter of fact, this thing works better on the floors than it does on carpet. I should warn you though, expect to change the filter and unclog airways in this thing at least every three weeks. And good luck finding filters. I order my filters from Panasonic because I can't find one in a regular store (not even at Wal Mart). Also, like one of the previous reviewers stated, this thing has virtually no power. Expect to go over the same spots multiple times in order to get a good vacumming. I recommend that you pass on this one. There are much better vacuums out there for the same price if not cheaper. You can get a much better vacuum out of Wal Mart for less than $60.

P.S. - I've had my vaccum for a little over a year now and I've yet to have any belt problems. I changed it after 10 months, but that's just something that I do regularly anyway. I've never had any issues with breakage. Oh well. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones.
