Some great Panasonic Vacuums

Let’s talk a little about Panasonic Vacuums. We’ve carried Panasonic for over 20 years. Unlike several other vacuum companies, Panasonic makes a variety of products, which is actually a good thing. They make Blue Ray Players, TV’s and lots more. The good thing about this is that once you’ve owned one of their products, you see the quality, so you buy more. Having been familiar with their vacuums, when it was time to buy a Blu-Ray player, I didn’t hesitate to get a Panasonic one. I liked it so much; I now have a Panasonic Shaver and digital camera as well.


Canister Vacuums:
When I started at McHardy’s about 4 years ago, one of our best selling Panasonic Canister vacuums sold for $600. Well, this past year Panasonic adjusted their lineup and that vacuum has come back, with a different colour, only now it sells for $350. They have managed to bring the cost down, while keeping the same quality.  (Panasonic MCCG902)

They also have some new technology. Panasonic has developed the “Opti-Flow” system, which prevents the vacuums from losing suction. Vacuums have one part of the dirt chamber, where all the suction comes in. It is very common, as the bag fills, for that opening to get covered over, and partially blocked. What Panasonic has done is put the bag in what is essentially a basket. This basket prevents the opening from being covered, so you can use the vacuum without losing suction as it fills up.

Upright Vacuums:

For years the Panasonic Upright has been a staple among the upright vacuums of choice. We still sell more Panasonic Upright bags than any other bags. There are two fantastic things about the Panasonic Uprights:

1. Steel Brush roll – If you have pets in your home or people with long hair, the steel brush roll can be your new best friend. One of the most common vacuum killers out there is hair. What happens is the hair gets into the bearing and wraps around it. Then it heats up because of the friction and melts. It becomes like a hard plastic and will cause the roller to seize up. There is not a week that goes by where we don’t see seized brush rolls in our store. This can cause even more serious damage as it can easily destroy the housing where the brush roll sits, which typically means a new vacuum. The steel brush roll is the solution to that problem. In the steel brush roll, the bearings are sealed, so the hair and dirt can’t penetrate and cause any damage.

2. The second thing is that most of the Panasonic Uprights carry an “over the counter Replacement” warranty. This means that if something happens to your vacuum under warranty, they don’t fix it, they give you a replacement unit. For most of these units that means a new vacuum if there is any defect for 2 years!
