I have 2. The one on the right in your pic and an even older bottom line model in pink. Both are posted here on VL somewhere if you search my handle and 'Panasonic'. This basic design is so effective and easy to use. Tacony makes even better knock offs Which I am always in the hunt for. Question for the assembled: can I swap brush rolls from a Panny to a Tacony copy? |

Well the Panny uses a round belt and Tacony uses a flat belt, also the belt placement is different. Maybe it would work if you uses the end caps and bearings from the original machine on the different brushroll. The brush strips will interchange though. |

I had 2 of the 6220. One for home and for business back in the 80's. Much like a dial a matic, except the hose did not lock. The one bad thing about that vac, otherwise excellent and always top rated. |

I worked in a vac shop in 83 and 84 and we sold these, as well as Turbotronics and Air Way Sanitizors, back when they still had the good attachments and the metal Rugmaster. |

My mom had the one on the left for 17 years!! She loved it and we were so sad when it finally bit the dust (no pun intended). My grandmother had the Panasonic Jet Flo MC-6215 and it was two toned blue. Oh it was my favorite!! |

I got my beloved 6255 in 90 I want to say?? Not top of the line, but very nice. I used it to clean my mom's huge beauty shop for years, it lived in the trunk of my car. Always kept fresh factory bags in it, only had to change belt a few times. Brushroll is now very worn though, and not having luck with new one :( This was a very well thought out and made vacuum.

Hi...new to the forum. Just came across a brand new (in sealed box) Panasonic MC-5111. Is this a decent vacuum? |
