upgraded from an eureka bagless, what a difference! Thanks to the dual sweep system, this vaccume sucks up a lot of dusts/sandy stuff that were embedded deep in the carpet that my old eureka missed. I didn't know my house was this dirty!! I don't see how a dyson can be that much better for 2x the price. However, this vacuum has a lot of useless features like electronic dirt sensor, bag full sensor, and it is actually missing some of the useful features that the lower end units have, like retractable power core. I am not sure what the amazon's description mean about the 30ft core has quick release, the cable is non-detachable and doesn't retract into the machine, you just rewire them and hang it behind the vacuum like a regular vaccum.

I ordered this to replace a Dirt Devil which I hated. I lusted after a Dyson but could not bring myself to spend that much money on a vacuum. My Dirt Devil was super loud, had no suck and the replacement filter is $25.00! I was in the home electronics business for twenty year and have always known Panasonic for a quality product. I wasn't disappointed. It has lots of suck, it is very quiet and the dual brushes make the carpet stand up really nice. I would have given it 5 stars but the Dyson might be better but at twice the price.

I bought this to replace an old Sears cannister vac, and initially had very good impressions. Except for the non-retractable cord, the unit seemed to have all the features I wanted and more. However there seems to be a basic design flaw when using this vacuum with low-pile but denser carpent, the brushes generate so much resitance against the carpet, the belt will burn up in minutes due to slippage. So far I've replaced 4 belts on this unit after only a few months of use (maybe 2-3 hours total use). I can't recommend this unit and am in the process of trying to get a refund for it.

With various Panasonic and Amazon rebates, we were able to get this vacuum for a great price.

It seemed to work well at first, picking up a lot of dirt and hair (the dog & cat shed like crazy) from the carpets. The first issue we noted was that it was difficult to empty the canister, as the dirt & hair would wedge itself between the filter & the cansiter. It was a pain to get out, dust would get everywhere.

Then the vacuum started throwing the belt, eventually it would come off every couple minutes. We had purchased a couple replacement belts, but they did the same thing as well.

So, we made the decision to return it. Kudos to Amazon for making the return experience a pleasant one. Ended up buying a cheap Eureka 5550A model, which has worked much better for us.

This vacuum was a real disappointment. I expected a much better product from Panasonic.

The plastic elements break easily and the 'bagless' dirt container is a REAL bad idea. Trying to empty and dispose of the dirt is a chore of it's own.

I had a Hoover Wind Tunnel before buying this vacuum. I knew almost immediately I had made a mistake buying the Panasonic. The Hoover is worth the few dollars more.

I purchased this vacuum about 6 months ago and used it about 10 times and 2 belts broke on me. One of the belts is easy to replace (part costs $2.50 at a repair shop) but the second belt I couldn't fix and the repair cost e $39.00. The cost was mostly labor because the 2nd belt was so difficult to replace.

This vacuum works well but I don't think it's built to last. Power is good.

Talking with the repair man, he advised against purchasing this model because if the rollers break on this model, the part alone would cost around $60.00. The rollers in the front is not built very strong and it does look like it will break in the year(s) ahead. If it breaks again on me, I'll replace it with a better model.

Well, I learned my lesson. I will invest a little more in my next vacuum purchase.

I purchased this vacuum and found it ok. It is good on hardwood except for the fact that the suction hose is on the side of the brush unit which means you get great suction on one side and ok suction on the other, they really need to put the suction hose in the center. On low pile carpets it does a good job. On high pile carpets it is very hard to push because you cannot adjust the height of the rollers and they dig into the pile making it hard to push even though it is a medium weight vacuum.

I got this vacuum at less than $80 with several promotion during last winter. This vacuum sucks much better than my previous ureka bagles vacuum. Hepa filter makes me feel comfortable during vacuuming. Dual sweep system really works well. My dust cup also fits well everytime. Convenient light at the bottom enlightens even dark corners and closet in the room.

The only con is that it is a little bit hard to empty dust cup. But this would be common problem of all bagless vacuum.

This may be a good deal if you get it cheaply enough. But in only about 2 hours of use it has burned up two belts and plastic cord holder snapped. Consider the $2 belts and your labor to replace them part of the cost. Dust bin is a mess to empty and it's virtually impossible to get the embedded dust out of filter. When it works, it cleans well. Just a pain to use something with so many irritating flaws. A Yugo, not a BMW. Doesn't Panasonic design well and test for usability any more?

This vaccum deserves a 5 star...quiet, efficient, nice brushes, good light etc...however the belt is a killjoy..it died after a few hours
