If you get that machine you will not be dissapointed Tayyab!
The best person to ask about this is Chris, as he is like the God of Panasonic vacuums, there isn't anything he doesn't know about them! I have an MCE 44, which is the slightly later, slightly lower spec version of this machine that makes a great vacuum cleaner! Go for it! |

Oooohh I love the Panasonic 40 series! I grew up with one. They're one of my all time favourite cleaners. Very lightweight, strong suction, easy to use and very reliable. We had ours in daily use for 17 years.
They were launched in 1986. It was one of the first uprights in the UK to have on board tools. The first models were slightly different, having the older style brushroll as was found on the earlier Jetflo and a smoked clear plastic tool cover that was prone to breaking. The earlier models also had a 600w motor.
There were various minor changes to this model between 86 and 88, as these cleaners got more and more popular. In 88, the 41N, 42N and 43N replaced the original lineup, having a 650w motor and coming with an extension hose that was optional on the 41 and 42. They were upgraded again in 1992 to a 700w motor as the 44, 45 and 46.
The 42 in the link looks to be in good condition, although the dusting brush shouldn't be stored like that and there's no sign of the upholstery tool. |

Ooh thanks Chris! I forgot to ask if the machines are durable physically and roughly how many airwatts they have at the hose? Cheers |
