It is great on hard floors but not as good on carpet, especially 1/2" or more thick carpet. Rating: 3 / 5 Generally works as advertised and reviewed by Better Homes and Gardens.

I am over 60 with a back problem. I can use this vacuum without pulling. It will start/stop with a touch of a toe: no more bending over. The wand is easy to use for three types of cleaning. The filter captures the dust. Suction is powerful and I like the release feature for when little door mats are caught. This vacuum is exactly what you need if you have hard floors mixed with throw rugs or areas of carpeting. Clean like MONK. Rating: 5 / 5 This is a great vacuum! I am over 60 with a back problem.

The swirling design of the vaccum head is a smart touch, enabling the vacumming of otherwise hard-to-reach places like those under the sofa or beds. <br /> <br />However, it grossly lacks suction power. It might be suffice for bare surface (woods/vinyl) but it does not do a good job for carpet. I often found myself doing multipe-runs in order to pick up some pretty lighweight particle off the carpet. <br /> <br />Another grievence I have is that the refilling bags are hard to come by.

Once I saw the specs on this & it's price tag (got it for about $130 shipped), I had my heart set. Well, it was a hard one to pin down! I ordered 5 times from different co's before I finally found a company that actually had it- right here on Amazon from Beach Audio Inc (thank goodness they actually had it because my house was gettin' dirty!) <br /> So now I've had it for about 3 wks & love it. OK, there is some bad with the good, but for the price- I'm not complaining & that's some trick. I have a 4 yr old, 2 black cats & a red 40lb dog (oh, and a husband in construction). I also have cream and/or white low pile carpets & hardwood floors in the main areas of the 2200SF house. The dog is restricted to hard wood, but the cats have free roam (of course). <br /> With that said, this vacuum has enough suction power for me. It's 11 amps compares well with my 12 amp Hoover upright, though I do have to remove the air driven turbo nozzle to get the heavy stuff w/ the wand. Not too bad because it's just a pop & click out & then back in as I go around the house. The crevice & dust tools are conveniently on board so that's a plus, though the wand itself does the trick for me mostly. Overall, I would say that even though the turbo nozzle doesn't 'suck' (ie the brush is only powered by the air suction)it was worth the trade off to have it so light because my old hoover broke my back & this does not at all. I love that the wand is an easy telescopic click as well. <br /> I love that it's bagged. My hoover was not & I was getting sick of the mess having to dump it out & get all that dirt & dog grime back in the air & still have it blow 'dog smell' about my house while I was cleaning. Now the crud is cleanly tucked away in a bag I can toss & replace (I found it easy to buy a box of replacement bags off of panasonic's website). <br /> I love that the canister has 2 handles. I lay it down on the floor & stand it up while I go up the stairs. Easy grab either way. It's light weight for my bad neck arthritis overall. <br /> OH, and to my surprise- it is equipped with a parking mechanism that wasn't mentioned in the sales pitch. One of my favorite features! Makes it even compare closer to the Miele I was wanting and couldn't drop $600 on. <br /> I even like the handle grip as I do not prefer the 'ergonomic' type for whatever reason. They seem awkward to me. This is simple design & feels comfy on my wrist without the extra plastic. <br /> So, my only real complaint would be a shorter cord than I had- but if it were longer... the vacuum would be heavier. Give & take. I can manage 1 room at a time & then just move the plug. I do love that you push a button & the cord sucks back up-- no winding mess. :) <br /> Overall a very happy camper.

My upright did not work on the wood floors and the hose attachment created back-breaking work. Sweeping & swiffering still left dust behind. After many months of searching I found this Panasonic. My upright Panasonic has been a rugged, dependable machine, so I knew the brand would be a sound buy. This vacuum is just perfect for wood/laminate/tile floors. In addition it does great on area rugs (low pile) and it's a dream on stairs (carpeted). Light weight, easy to manuever, with very good suction. Powerhead adjusts to wood/carpet and the rotating brush makes sure all dirt disappears. Very pleased with this vacuum.
