Comment:
House has tile & laminate flooring with a few low pile area carpets. Does an excellent job on the carpets. Not so much on the rest due to short wand and hose. Exhaust out the back stirs up dust. Tool compartment door has a poor latching system plus the tools aren't that usable because of the short hose. I don't remove the brush head for fear the latch will break. The Meile is used for everything else, Meile power brush for carpets uses a toothed belt and an industrial strength motor, which means you have to replace the belt everytime it gets jammed. The belts are not cheap! Panasonic is larger all around and more cumbersome, but does well on carpets.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
For my needs, this is the best and most affordable vacuum cleaner on the market. The suction power is incredibly strong and I especially like the power brush option for getting deep into the carpets. It works equally well on bare floors. The only downside is that the edge cleaning is just ok, but you can get around it by vacuuming from a different direction. <br /><br />I had a similar Panasonic unit that lasted over 15 years and loved it. This one is just as good, plus it has other features that the old one didn't (power rotating brush; HEPA filter; headlight). It is made a bit differently but it is sturdy and well-built. I've had this vac for three years and haven't noticed any of the structural problems that other reviewers have mentioned. In fact, I haven't had any problems at all.

Comment:
I have an older (1992) Panasonic canister vac. I also have the model posted for these reviews. The new unit is definitely lighter in weight. I also think it is quieter. As far as performance goes. The older unit edges ahead in overall performance. Something I noticed right away was the lightweight power head on the new one. I believe it to be some of the cause of the lesser performance, especially on carpet. However, if it performs fairly well as it does now. And doesn't become a fatality. It's a good buy for the price.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
