Equipped with a powerful 12 amp motor, this bagged upright vacuum cleaner delivers exceptional cleaning results. The unit automatically adjusts to the proper setting for just about any carpet height, and its floating nozzle design adjusts to different heights without knobs or levers. The cleaner’s advanced vacuum system channels dust and dirt particles directly into the vacuum bag, which helps protect the fan and motor. For above-floor cleaning, simply use any of the on-board tool (more…)
I will probably re-sell or donate this vacuum to someone in a few months. There is no manual adjustment for carpet height or any setting for cleaning floors. Essentially you raise or lower the handle by the grip end which causes the bottom (motor housing) of the vacuum to raise up or down. This is annoying since in some areas of the house where I have low-cut carpeting, the only way to get good contact to the carpet is to hold the end of the handle very low to the floor while you vacuum. If Panasonic eliminated the “Auto Height Feature” and simply put a manual height adjuster on this model you could set with your foot that would have been much better. This vacuum is capable of cleaning well and makes an average amount of noise compared to other vacuums. I prefer bag-type vacuum cleaners over the bagless type. The last vacuum I owned was a bagless type and it became annoying to have to clean 3 filters and also deal with being exposed to the dust when emptying the dust container. I am currently looking for another bag-type vacuum to replace this Panasonic. Nothing against Panasonic, it’s possible I would have liked a higher priced Panasonic vacuum instead of this model. I do not recommend the purchase of this model.
