Just two things to say:

1. Take the filter out, go outside to your garbage can, and bang the filter hard against the inside of the can 3-4 times. Rotate filter 15 degrees, bang 3-4 times. Keep going until nothing comes out (may take 5 minutes or more!)

2. Buy a new one every 1-2 years anyway.

Bottom line: The Panasonic vacs are fantastic, but you have to maintain your filters. Buy the HEPA filter ever 1-2 years too-check your manual.

Can it be cost justified??

In comparision to the counterpart black hose, the only advantage I can think of is that you can see thru this hose to easily identify where any possible clogs are located. With the black hose you have to use trial and error, and possible take the entire DC system apart to find the clog. With the clear hose, you can see it and go right to the problem spot. Is this worth almost double the price of a black hose?

That can only be answered by the user. I'm using the clear hose only off of machinery where large chips are make, my lathe and bore machine (drill press). Other than that, I opted for the cheaper black hose. I also have those two machines located the closest to the dust collection machine, so the hose length, and chip travel, is the least possible.

Pricey but works well

Yes, it is expensive for hose. This does work really well though and it probably some of the best hose on the market...... Very flexible (some types are stiff) and the ability to see into the hose is (nearly) priceless! Had something get stuck in mine last night. Would have never known until it became a bigger problem if I could not see that little piece of wood!

You get what you pay for!

This is the best hose that i have found to date.It does cost more money but it performs well.I have two sets.I also have the 6" hose.It is best to use the wire style clamps to retain the hose to the machine or dust pipe.I have seen these hose used on big molders with six heads.Hope this helps your choice of hose.

Very displeased

I am not happy with this sweeper at all. I bought it so I could take a break from vacuuming 3 times a day because of dog hairs. It does nothing on the carpet except spread the dog hairs. It doesn't work on the hard floors either. I am very disappointed.

Great Floor Sweeper

Works great on floors. Light weight, convenient and the price is right.
