Thanks, Tom. It seems as though I keep finding fun vacuum cleaners and in this case, PN, only they turn out to be the low end version. I hope someone knows the proper belt to use with it. Cool thing is I can use it with any orphan canister. Thanks again, G. |

I'd have to dig it up, but one of my hard drives has photos of catalogs from Panasonic Jet-Flo canisters. This model was entry level. Panasonic had 12" and 14" power heads at the time. I have 3 of the 14" power nozzles. Each one uses the same belt but has some differences of headlight and other features.
I believe that the 14" and 12" models both used the same belt style CB. However, I find that belt stretches way to quick and gives and looses tension quick. Therefore, I now use Hoover Windtunnel canister 38528-036 belts in each of my Panasonic power heads and they do very very well with those belts. Nice find, Panasonic had really great stuff back in the day! |

I found the catalog photos I had. I also decided to take out all of my Panasonics for you and take some photos, plus some older photos I had of a time I did servicing on the newest one.
Also a lot of people tend to recommend Kirby belts for many power heads. I tried installing a Kirby belt into one of these and I thought the belt was too wide for the housing design of these units. Also the link below is a Youtube video for a 14" Panasonic Jet-Flo model MC-9410. It's not my video but it's a great example of how quiet, powerful and pleasant sounding these units are.
