Wow, a metal brush roll and base plate! What sort of bag does it take; will a Panasonic U-3 fit? Judging by the base, it looks like it could use some interchangeable parts with Panasonic Jet-Flo/Tacony machines.
I too thought it looked like a Sharp. The logo and sticker really resemble a Twin-Energy. Any idea what type of motor it has? I am just as curious as you are about this Sanyo. Great Find! | ||

No, it is very similar to some other machines of the same vintage, but not a direct copy. Very nice find you have there, they were really great vacuums. I have the same model in slightly worse condition. Scott | ||

I dunno, the Sanyo has it's belt drive and motor on the opposite side of the Panasonic and Tacony uprights shown in the photos and the bag chamber is much narrower. | ||

Sanyo made great machines and if your looking for bags most all vac shops should stock them. | ||

Found this thread after FantomLighting posted a video on his Performax. But I am quite familiar with this machine. It's just another competitive model compare to the Panasonic Performance Plus and the Sharp Twin Energy line up. I've used both this red model before and a blue one as well, although the blue one did had a quickdraw wand on board. To Reply #5, Sharp never had anything made by Panasonic, Sharp was just competing to both Panasonic and Sanyo because back then they were both company rivals. I think these were good quality machines, the only things I didn't like about these is the fact that the belt and the hose are on the opposite sides (Even the early Panasonics had those as well), and the fact that Panasonic and Sharp does have better suction than this (Although Panasonic does have better airflow than both Sharp and Sanyo).
