Thought it would be fun to provide some links to webpages of major companies which are selling vacs in Japan now! I don't read Japanese, but it was not hard to "shoot in the dark" a bit and find the vacuum sections of each company's website. Click on any pictures and links and enjoy looking at the diagrams and pictures. I'll put one link in each of the upcoming posts.
So here we go! First: Panasonic CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK | ||

I find it strange that you never really see uprights being sold in as much as we use them here in the USA. | ||

Hey there Pete,
You know...I avoid going to downtown as much as possible (even for Pride!!!) because I find the city has become so dirty and littered with posters every where. I think I may end up returning to the 'burbs as soon as I can! So I can't say that I have seen any of the Japanese vacs recently. Since Japan runs on 100 volts, their vacs would work okay in North America....so who knows? There might be some Korean electronics store up in Markham selling Toshiba canisters for all we know!!! I'll keep an eye out for these. One thing is for sure...all these Japanese corporations have large corporate offices in Toronto's suburbs. If any of us ever wanted a Panasonic or Sanyo vac made in Japan, all we would need to do is contact the head office and put in an order with a sales rep! | ||

Michael - Robert is correct when he says that most Japanese homes do not have wall-to-wall plush carpeting. So uprights with revolving brush rolls are really overkill for most Japanese homes. I lived in Tokyo for a while, and indeed, most apartments had beautiful hardwood floors (though mine had western style carpeting!)
I am sure that Electrolux must sell their Sanitaire line in Japan because a there are many hotels and restaurants and offices with carpeting. I have not been able to find the Sanitaire link on the Electrolux Japan website though. Another interesting feature about Japanese apartments is that most have at least one room where the floor is covered in a straw mat-like material. This room is called the Tatami Room. The carpet nozzles of Japanese canister vacs are often designed to be able to clean these mats well - I think that is why you see a lot of lightweight turbo carpet nozzles with all the canisters and these clean the tatami mat floor coverings very well. | ||
