I wanted to see if anyone has the above vacuum. I did a lot of research and recomended it to a friend who just lost one vacuum in a divorce and the other one was shot. It was a recent model Elite like Hoover that was beyond salvage. She has two dogs and two cats and keeps her house very, very clean, so the machine gets a lot of use.
The features of the above vac that look like it is a good value for the money approx $250 are the powerful tri-force motor, clean-air design, and on board tools. It looks to be very well constructed.
Right now she has my Sebo Automatic X5 on loan, and based on what her Hoover looked like, I need to get it back! If anyone has experience with the Panasonic, please let me know as I do not want to reccomend an inferior machine especially since she has gotten used to my nice Sebo.
I have a few of the older designs and I bought my SIL a new one a couple of years ago,, not that one in particular but similar..it was about $189, on board tools, quick draw, etc.. She's happy with it, easy to use. They are well built or at least they were.. I haven't looked at the newest ones to see if they've cheapened them at all.
