Honestly I think it's one of the coolest names ever given to a vacuum. First saw one on a video years ago and thought they had an interesting look for your Hoover elite competitor. Surprisingly in different colors too, a red, a blue (that kind of looks like a G4) and an interesting teal green. Though I noticed, much like the Elites, you'd have ones with the top clamps, and ones with side zippers, some even on the front more akin to the Bravos. How many on here have one cause they're most certainly not common where in from.

They are prone to snap off where the bag meets the base. I’ve had a couple, and they were extremely loud to me. They cleaned well, but I personally feel the Hoover elites were built much better than these. I saw one at a thrift store last year, but I passed and bought the rebranded Eureka instead.

I have a blue 8.5 amp model. I really like it. In my opinion it is the BEST vacuum from the Elite style machines, even better than the Hoovers. Panasonic also sold one under the Ultra-Pro commercial line. My personal favorite ones are the Proformance models where they have a hard bag cover, the one I've been looking to find for my collection would be the red 9.5 amp variant.

I still remember the ultra pro and I still think that looks like one of the coolest Panasonics/Kenmores ever made. Maybe you might know this, they actually made several versions of the PowerCenter, in the same way they had different styles of the Hoover Elite. Some had a a clamp at the top, some had a zipper down the middle, some even had one down the side with on board tools. My question is, did they all come in the same colors though? Like there is a red one with a clamp, and a red one with a front zipper, but did they ever make a red one with a side zipper (a la the last photo)? That would be a cool rare vac to find.

I saw a nice one in Dec 2021 and still kick myself for not getting it.

Found another pic of one I never saw before but it answered my question, they did make a red variant that had the onboard hose with the thinner bag. This is awesome!!!!!
