Be very careful about not running over the cord with these style Panasonics. They are very good at slicing little strips off the cord down to the wires. It's really their only fault. |

Kyle, I like the full-size red Panasonic there that's your favorite. Here's something you probably didn't know about it though....Lewyt, when the name was resurrected in the late 1990's by SMC, copied this exact Panasonic. The only differences they made was:
1. The Lewyts bag cover was a little more rounded. 2. Lewyt incorporated a large foldout stair-cleaning handle around the motor compartment, and there was also a HEPA filter and lighted bag check light there as well. 3. The powerhead is the same one Panasonic uses on the Performance Plus Platinum line sold in vac shops, except Lewyt added height adjustment & their brushrolls are wooden, not metal like Panasonic (although they did have a metal bottom plate). I have a Lewyt brochure from when SMC started using the name again & re-launched, so if I can get my camera to take a clear picture of the page they are on, I will post for everyone here. Rob |

The non-Performance Plus is DEFINITELY not 1989. It would be more along the lines on 1995 or so. VW |
