Vacuum under king size beds with easeThis is the most modern looking vacuum I ever had - and I had more than 7 in the last 5 years. From an exterior point of view, I cannot find a single fault. This is also the only vacuum that allows me to clean under my king-size bed with ease. As a matter of fact, as long as you have at least 3 1/2 inches of space between the bed and the floor, you should have no problem accessing the areas under your bed: there are 55 inches from where I hold the handle (wand fully extended) to the tip of the actual suction case where the floor brush is located.
Features I like:
- as mentioned, you can reach under king size beds with ease
- the handle/wand is actually metallic: very sturdy and solid
- assembly took less than 2 minutes (and I was slow)
- Pull-out feature on the Power cord
- washable main filter
Concerns: I was initially concerned with the power suction of the unit, since I was spoiled by the powerful suction of Shark Navigators. I was going to...
powerful suction!This is my first canister vacuum , up until this, I have only been used to uprights. Yes, the looks between the two are vastly different, but I have noticed that this has a much greater suction than the uprights and seems much easily to use and store. At first, it took a little while getting used to pulling another thing behind me but after a few weeks,it is no longer a burden. The canister barely bumps into things and I only had to move it 3 times to clean bigger rooms and steps. The nozzle is much wider and lower than I expected, making it clean a wider area and fit better under tables and couches. While the brush has a rotation, It is not as powerful as an upright, but the suction seems to more than make up for it. The automatic cord reel is also a real bonus for putting it away, but before you start vacuuming, you have to make sure you completely unwind it, otherwise the cord comes easily out of the wall. I am somewhat tall (5'8) and maxing out the adjustable height allowed me to...
Nice canister vacuumRight out of the box, the Panasonic Jet Force canister vacuum, is very easy to setup. There were very few parts that required assembly and as such, it didn't take much time before I was off and away, cleaning stuff.
Immediately I did notice that our pile carpet was thick and pushing the canister on the carpet wasn't that much fine. I did see that the suction was able to pickup most items but it was much more work to clean the carpet with this vacuum than our Sebo vacuum. Now, cleaning the stairs was a breeze on the other hand. The vacuum is not that heavy and it's easy to pickup and move about. The head has a nice swivel to it. Cleaning the hard surfaces was a breeze. Cleaning things up high was also a breeze. I did like that the vacuum wand telescopes out to a ridiculous length to clean up high.
The cord is long enough. I didn't notice that I ran out of cord. It's also nice that the cord retracts quite easily automatically via a push button...
