I rarely, if ever bring a cleaner into the house and before wiping it down, just plug 'n play... But this is in such minty/clean shape, I broke my rule today!

Great! Panasonic, I remember selling some in the early 80s when they first were getting popular here! | ||

Ya, SURE Robert drags you to garage sales kicking and scream
HAHA! I am sure it doesn't take much to convince you to go, especially when you pick up little gems like this Panasonic. I am sure Robert can attest to that how easily you are convinced....
But seriously, Fred....what a lucky find! These older Panasonic Jet-Flos, especially in this style, are getting really hard to find now. And this one looks MINT! Like it was just taken out of the box. The oldest one I have is a purple one, from 1995 or 1996, 12 amp, with the headlight and Quickdraw hose system....but would love to find one of these older Panasonics though, they are such good vacs. And the Hoover is a very nice find, too. Robert, congrats on finding your Maytag poster there. And your joke in the post above is HILARIOUS! Love your humor there.... Rob | ||

Sure Fred, I'd love to go with you sometime, but we'd have to lay some ground rules first. For instance, what if we spot something we both want. Do we wrestle for it? Draw straws? Leave it up to a jury of peers? | ||

Rob, Is your Panasonic a Performance plus, and does it have a metal stick-handle, or is it plastic? I would be able to date it as soon as I get an answer. Here's my 1996 Performance Plus in green:

Fred, Great finds this weekend. The Panasonic is a wonderful machine. Bought one new in '85 and it's still working great today. Doesn't look as pristine as your find but still works well. Enjoy!! psf | ||

Sam, this is just a regular Panasonic Quickdraw with metal h
But, funny you mention the Performance Plus, as I seen one EXACTLY like yours in a Goodwill a couple of years back but passed it up, as it had a LOT of difficulty with tilting back the powerhead to use it....so figured there must be some deformed plastic or something really bad not worth salvaging. I am so regretting that now....
I also have a Panasonic Performance Plus Platinum in my collection too, silver, from 2001, and it has the metal bottom plate and metal brushroll. This vacuum I found at the side of the road, just dumped there, and in like new shape....just some minor scuffs on the bag door that you couldn't see in a photo. I can't believe someone would just dump it at the side of the road, since they sell for $299 new at my local vac shop, but then again, their loss is my gain....:P. Rob PS- Sam, I do know for CERTAIN it's one of those dates, for my Panasonic Quickdraw, as I seen the date stamp inside the bag cover....just couldn't remember for certain which one when I posted. | ||
