Upright Vacuums Reviews

First 3 months vacuum was fine. Then a bearing burned out; Panasonic gave me a hrad time, but finally replaced it. Now, belt keeps coming off (I've tried several new belts). Vacuum essentially uselsess and out of warrannty.

IMO, there are several design faults

I only had this vacume cleaner for six months when it began emitting a horrible burning noise and wouldn't work. I have no pets and did not place this vacume cleaner under an undue strain.

I totally agree with Karen. If you have pets, this is the machine for you. We have 1 long haired dog, and 4 cats. We vacuum 2-3x a day. This machine has lasted almost 2 years with NO PROBLEMS. Not even a broken belt. NO CLOGGING! This machine is powerful! It really does the job. Prior, we were going through vacuum cleaners 2x a year. They'd blow up, the motors would fry, and we'd have to use a wire hanger to unclog the machines at least every other day.

Not this machine. It's super! We think it's the double hose system. If you're a pet person, buy this machine!

this Vacuum is so so. speccially the handle of this vacuum is not sturdy so when I used this vac twice, the handle was broken.I would like to return it.

This is the worst vacuum you can buy. We bought this back in December of last year and probably used it total of 4-5 times. The belt keeps coming off and causes rubber to rub and burn. The switch for bare floor/carpet is broken although we were so careful with it. Also, the sucking is not very good - hardly picks up anything off hardwood floor.

All in all, I would not recommend this product. I guess my 30 day return is over so my only recourse is to take it to the nearest repair facility.

Pathetic reliabilty with regards to the belt. Engine runs hot. I don't know if this is the reason the belt keeps on breaking. Replaced 3 belts in last 6 months of service. I don't know if there is any explanation to this. Put your money some place else.
