I agree. Sanyo also made the Dirthunter, Performax, and Powerboy vacuums, with the Roto-Sweep. | ||

The Sanyo Transformax was the top-rated stick vac in Consumer Reports test results which were published just when it debuted in the stores. I think we are talking early 1990's....
The Sanyo power nozzle canister which is now sold as the Hoover Duros is also quite well-rated by Consumer Reports.... Had no idea you could buy a Maytag floor care product in North America!!!!! I thought this was just in the UK! :-) | ||

Well, I went to Home Depot when I was 10 years old in 2007, and they had Maytag vacuums. Can you imagine how ironic is that, if they were only sold in the UK? | ||

And why did Sanyos get discontinued? They were nice to have. | ||

Hi William - I think one of the reasons you may not see Sanyo vacuums any more is because Panasonic bought Sanyo a few years ago and they already have an extensive set of vacuum lines all over the world - including producing the better Sears Kenmore vacs. Panasonic has retained the Sanyo brand name and is using it on some home entertainment products like televisions, so we may yet see the name Sanyo on a Panasonic vac somewhere in the world one day! :-)

Hey Brian- You might be interested to know that 1 Sanyo model, 1 of the Performax uprights, is still being made today, rebadged now as a lower-line Panasonic.

Oh, and whatever happened to the Maytag vacuums? Are they discontinued? | ||

I wonder myself for the Duros and Sanyo version, with the Maytag version. | ||
