Panasonic MCUG471 Review by Ken Beatty

I have only had the vacuum for about 2 months, but so far it has been a good purchase. It is lighter than the Eureka I was using (motor burned out) and is more manageable. I really like the automatic cord retractor and can only hope that it lasts the life of the vacuum. Suction is fine and the light is bright enough to help. I only use this on carpets, so I don't know how it would perform on wood floors. Attachments are fine, but not stellar. My only complaint has been finding a local source for bags. I live in a medium-sized city, but really had difficulty finding them. Eventually found them at Wal-Mart. Cost about $6.00 for three.

Panasonic MCUG471 Review by SquidlockHolmes

I used to be in vacuum sales; so, I have some limited insight. Sure the plastic is a little cheap, but overall, at $111 (when I purchased it) it is more than sufficient for my small apartment with low carpet and tile.

Pros:
'Suction is strong.
'The features are middle-of-the-road (cord rewind, edge/brush tool, 2 wands), not excessive (see: self-propelling)
'The hose feels sturdy and seems unlikely to rip from sucking up sharp objects.
'Bag chamber itself seems well-designed and unlikely to spit dust back out through the exhaust.

Cons:
'I would have sacrificed the stair cleaner for rubber wheels (nothing a little tape couldn't remedy, I guess).
'While convenient, I also would have sacrificed the cord rewind for a height adjustment feature because the vacuum has a tendency to shoot my rug backward as I try to pull the unit back.

Weight always tends to be an issue with uprights, but I live in a single-floor apartment. And I actually chose upright over canister because my carpet is low, and I knew I would have otherwise had to apply significant pressure with a canister to clean sufficiently.

The one-year limited warranty is kind of sad (speaks to Panasonic's confidence in its products), but it should last ~5 years if I buy supplies in advance and perform regular maintenance. (No pets or long-haired individuals)

Panasonic MCUG471 Review by Donna Anema "customer" (ga)

I didn't want a bagless vacuum due to the mess of emptying container. This vacuum was what I was looking for at a decent price. I found that it cleans very well. I do think that it is hard to push on thicker carpet. but on board tools stay in place although tips over easily. Over all am very pleased.
