I found this at goodwill today for $9.99. It has all the attachments with it. Even the turbo tool. It is in awesome condition. I pulled the canister off in the store and could see it was full. When I got home I dumped it outside. Another thing could have not fit in that canister. It smells like dog horribly but the filters are in good shape. I am hoping I can get the dog scent out of them. After I washed the filters, I sprayed them good with Natures Miracle. I have had good luck doing this in the past. The thing I can not figure out is why there is a little pocket like thing inside the canister. I tried the vacuum out on our front porch and WOW this thing is quiet. Also when I turned the brush on, it took off. Thank god I had a good grip on it. All in all I am very happy with it.

I can't work out that pocket? Is it like a plastic bin baffle? (like in a dyson..) I know they are use in dysons to force the dust to settle faster.. | ||

Here is my Thift Store Progressive Find
Mine is a bagged model, and when I saw it, it had a sticker that said it needed a new belt. Was $25.00 but it was half price day so I got it for $12.50. Got it home on the bus (boy that was fun!) and noticed that the switch for the brushroll was in the off position. I turned it on, and like yours, it tried to run away. I really like the vacuum, and use it regularly.

Jamie - Japan's Panasonic invented a really innovative method of propelling a brush roll by hiding the motor INSIDE the brush roll. It seems to be a very successful concept as all the Panasonic and Kenmore beltless Direct Drive vacs we have seen in North America are very good performers. Besides the elimination of a belt or gears, the concept allows the user to slow down the brush roll in "gentle" mode for delicate carpets!
In Europe, you would have seen this belt-free technology in the Panasonic "Icon" vacs. Here is a clip: CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK | ||
