Wow - these actually kind of look like the Panasonic's in a way. I've never heard of Cleva.
The bag collar design and quick disconnect design look identical to me. I hated both designs because when I had my Kenmore can's, the bag would slip off the collar allowing dust into the bag chamber unless you taped it securely. The quick disconnect electronics would eventually always short out after 2 to 3 years (on all the ones I ever had)... And I do not believe the Panasonic's were "sealed" systems. These may be, but they don't mention it. |

Panasonic was getting out of the North American vacuum market, so in order to have an OEM for Kenmore, they sold all the tooling and designs to Cleva and shipped them from Mexico to China. From what I hear, many of Panasonic's engineers were hired by Cleva also.
Much of the parts and designs of these new Cleva made units are the same as Panasonic's, hence the bags, etc being the same. Similar to what happened when Whirlpool sold their vacuums, to Panasonic. But from what I hear, Kenmore is the only brand that these will be sold under. |
