When I first looked I thought it was a Bosch or Siemens, how does the hose attachment function, ie.disconnect, etc. | ||

Morning Jack, I think Panasonic & Hitachi vacs are one of the most thought out vacs you could get particularly in the 80`s, left all the others standing for sturdiness, ease of use, super suction and features such as cord rewind and tools etc... Those little wheels on the back look rather nifty, is it easy to move around?? that brush roll looks very impressive.. Enjoy, Mike | ||

We also had it as Bosch here in the states. It was a very heavy machine that could be adapted to use disposable bags. | ||

And we had two under the Vax brand in the states, X3 (orange) and X5 (purple). I used a X5 at one of my neighbor's before. It was a decent machine, I liked it but I didn't really loved it. Felt solid, the wheels were rubber, had a cord rewinder, dual motor, lifetime belt, wasn't one sided suction, headlight was nice, and felt comfortable on my hand especially with the fingertip switches on top of the handle. However the suction wasn't the greatest, the brushroll was soft, it got hot really fast, smelled weird, the filters clogged easily, and the turbo brush was terrible.
Anyways regarding the Panasonic Icon, we also had one of those here in the states known as the Performance Plus Platinum. They were only sold at Panasonic dealers. It was an interesting design in my opinion. But of course, Panasonic discontinued using the beltless brushroll but they did however continued to use the dirt sensor boost feature like on the Power-On-Demand uprights. Looks familiar to that Dirt Devil i right?
