panasonic mc-ul815 upright bagless vacuum,
I spent about 3 weeks reading upright vacuum reviews – ended up buying one that did not have a single review. We had a problem to begin with – they sent me the 810 model 2 times before I received the one I ordered. I was looking for something lightweight, smaller cleaning path, and the ability to shut off the roller brush for bare floor and above carpet cleaning.
I’ve only used it two times and the jet turn takes a little getting use to. It has tremendous suction. It picked up a lot dirt that my old oreck passed over.
I like the red and green light – seems to work fine. The only thing missing is a wand to allow you to get the occassional spider webb on the ceiling. Noise wise it isn’t too bad, it’s quieter than my oreck.
I had a little problem figuring out how to get to the hepa filter and belt. It looks like they would be pretty easy to replace when the need arises. Emptying the dirt container is relatively easy. Overall I like the vacuum and for $141 I would recommend it. P.S. the shipping mistakes were not that of Amazon it was another vendor selling thru Amazon.

|Move on, I’m Really Good,
This is a vacuum cleaner for the hearty and demanding. It is a semi-heavy weight and performs with vigor. I am a real fan of bagless HEPA filter vacs and this is one of the better ones.
This Panasonic cleans a path with almost perfection. To test it I cleaned the carpeting fully with my then favorite upright. Then the next day I did the same thing with the Panasonic and to my utter surprise I picked up even more ground in dirt. Mind you, it was not the heavy stuff we bring in from the outdoors but just daily dust and dog hairs. The volume in the Panasonic was considerably less than the first go but its presence suggested to me a better job at getting as much dirt as possible on each pass. The most important factor in a vac’s cleaning is its cleaning. All else is either an add on or subtraction. Cleaning the carpet is a full 5 without equivocation. The pet hair brush is a nice addition and is particularly useful in cleaning pet hairs from furniture. While most handles are not a big deal this handle has one that does NOT cause anger because of its design. It fits the hand perfectly and does not scratch nor create distractions.
I downgraded it one full point for the following reasons:
1. It is a heavy little upright and with its wheels will not glide on the floors with ease. Larger and wider rear wheels might make the moving easier.
2. The tilt switch used in dropping the handle to a working position is somewhat small and big fat feet sometimes do not work as perfectly as the designer thought.
3. The on/off switch is too small and seems to be a potential breaking point sooner than it should. I may be wrong there but it is difficult sometimes to turn the machine on and off.
4. Dirt accumulates in a ball that has a propensity to reduce the vac’s cleaning ability. Also, that little ball gets difficult to empty when the bottom of the vac is opened. I do not care about reaching up there to pick out the dirt but it is not intended to operate that way. Maybe there are too many Yorky hairs in the mix.
5. I like having a cord winder but be careful. I got it going on the first go and it whipped me like a little puppy. I sure am glad it hit me and not the grandfather’s clock. After a few uses I have the knack now.
6. The little slot that holds the cord out of the way on the back of the handle is almost useless. It is about 1/32″ too big and the cord will not stay put. How’s that for being anal?
7. The hose is barely long enough to reach the top of a sofa much less the top of curtains. While it is quite strong and a tad heavy it is just too short. The brush attached to the end of the hose is handy for those of us who misplace our brushes but it does not come off.
I honestly enjoy using the Panasonic and will for sometime. While the cord is somewhat short it is O.K. and the hose could be longer but I use a handheld mostly to do above the head cleaning. The brushes on the roller are good and stiff which makes cleaning so much better and more through. I did not mention the swivel action of the head because I am not quite sure if I like it or not. It is a tad hard to get used to after so many years of not having that feature.

|Cleans well and not too noisy,
I’ve gotten this vacuum to replace a Dirt Devil. It seems well built but the handle release needs to be pressed quite hard with the foot to let go. The Panasonic cleans as well if not better than it. I like in particular that it is a lot less noisy and the backdraft is better positioned so as to not stir up the dust in the areas not already cleaned. Also, the hinged handle make is a lot easier to make the typical weaved pattern when cleaning a carpet.
The only area that’s a step back from the Dirt Devil is the capacity of the dust cup. We have a carpet that sheds quite a lot when vacuumed and with the Panasonic I can vacuum at most two rooms before the cup is full.
Note that the accessory hose needs to be attached at all times otherwise suction drops significantly.
