I've been looking for one of these for years now, I'm actually a bit jealous LOL. But overall congrats on your find! These were good vacuums.
These were produced between the mid to late 90's, although these were not common back then so you were very lucky to come across with one. These were made in the USA, although this was one of the models that was made in Tennessee instead of their main factory in Kentucky. It's not one of their top of the line models because it doesn't have a metal brushroll, a metal bottom plate, or a metal handle. And yes Panasonic did indeed made some direct drive versions of these as well (Not just for Sears). This model comes with an automatic cord rewinder, a floor selector switch, it's got dirt sensors, and it's a got a smart handle switch. One of the nice things about these is that they have a hose ring that you can connect to the hose ring mount that is handy to use for vacuuming a couch for example. It does not have a bag indicator light. However, it does have a motor protector valve in the back that would go off if it either had a full bag or a clog. These have a wooden brushroll, original or genuine brushrolls have metal endcaps, generic or aftermarket brushrolls have plastic endcaps. She would really love this. In fact, my neighbor's mother has both a Panasonic and a Oreck, she prefers the Panasonic better because the cord is longer, it's quieter, and she can use a hose with it.

That's why canisters are not much common anymore, dragging the machine. |

Yes the dirt sensors do work really well, I will say that they do last longer than the Hoover Windtunnel dirt sensors. It's possible that it does have an original brushroll because this model uses a wooden brushroll that's painted black, other top of the line models would either be plastic or metal brushrolls but as long as the endcaps are metal, then it's genuine.
