I still have my other Panasonic vacuum cleaner after more than 25 years. It was about time I looked for a new one. I thought I wanted a Dyson like everyone else but after extensive research I came back to my tried and true Panasonic brand. It didn't hurt that the price on Great Offer Stock was very affordable.
I like that the accessories are attached (wasn't on my old one). The suction is fantastic. My daughter thought I had my rugs cleaned. I told her, no, I just got a new vacuum cleaner that really picks up.
Oh, and I like that the cord retracts when you step on the pedal. No more winding up the cord.
