Seems to look like a Taconoy product-love that "useful" stumpy crevice tool! |

That looks like a cross between the Oreck Quest Pro, Hoover Windtunnel Anniversary, and Royal, definitely one of TTI's creations. Since I don't bash, I'll leave it at that...lol. |

I'm not sure who makes it i do known it's also known as the Black Hawk nozzle I saw one in a shop around here it kind of reminds me of the Eureka Vibragroomer III
The canister reminds me of the Hoover anniversary canister, not a bad vacuum but the hose was way too stiff CLICK HERE TO GO TO Blackheart's LINK |

Looks very like my Werthiem. The power nozzle on mine is a new style but I think we had Werthiem models with a power head like the one in the picture. The build quality is poor but it is a very good deep cleaner. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sensotronic's LINK |

I'll second that - its a TTI product -sells in Germany under Dirt Devil and countless others - also sold in the UK under Swan brand label for Littlewoods and also under the Vax label with straight suction. I found the body to be quite heavy alone.
The dust brush alone in the first photo is the same one Vax now include with their cleaning kit. |

In the UK we term most Chinese low priced offerings as budget value - perhaps in the U.S budget is seen as middle of the road - that Panasonic certainly looks like a much better vacuum cleaner than the cheap cylinders we have to put up with. The bagged ones from Electrolux IN THE UK are rubbish - the premium line is sent over to their other company AEG which are pretty good but pricey. Electrolux seemed to have lost their way with their own brand products, now passing off their existing current series to yet another brand, Zanussi.
What about the Electrolux EL7024A Oxygen 3 Bagged Canister Vacuum? Seems to be pretty cheap on Amazon.com Wish we had that one in the UK! CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK |

An upright vacuum called the Prolux 7000 (also a 6000). You can see them on Ebay, and Great Vacs, and also Overstock.com

was Consumer Reports top bagged vac last year time, the Intuition.
Of course had you bid enough to win one of these vacs the price would no doubt have gone somewhat higher, perhaps significantly. But you likely would have ended up with a fine nearly new bagged canister delived for $100 or less. To me, unless you insist on being absolutely the first person to run the vacuum these store returns sold through web auctions are excellent resorces to tap. Resale shops can also be a great source for little used, used vacuums. They buy from estate sales and often price the goods for quick sale. Often times an elderly person has gone into a care facility or passed away. These shops save you the hassle of driving a number of estate sales and burning expensive gas. Just call them up and ask what they have available curently. Usually they are owner operated and can tell you exactly what they have on hand. Lastly go to an auction yourself if there's a good one in your area. They are fun and the prices can be unbelievablly low. Miele & Dyson almost always go much higher in these settings than other brands because of thier popularity with buyers. CLICK HERE TO GO TO stricklybojack's LINK on eBay |

That red Panasonic is the original Kenmore Progressive. Great machine, and probably best set of attachments you will find on any new machine in that price range.
You could also try your local Sears store. They often will put vacuums that people used a few times and returned out on clearance. If they sit long enough without selling, the price will get reduced. And, you still get the full warranty as if you bought it new! I bought the TOL Kenmore Progressive canister (almost $400 new) for $95! Only thing is it had a few scuffs and the floor brush was dirty. Still has all attachments and manuals. Ebay also has some sellers with store display models at big discounts. I don't know if they have a warranty though. |
