Panasonic MC-V3900 Canister Vacuum 
2008-08-28
I bought this as a second vacuum for my rec room. It's surprisingly powerful and does well both on the bare slate floor and the medium pile rug. I love that it has a retractable cord which is a good length.
The only problems I have are with the hose and attachments. The hose is too short and very shabby. All of the attachments (from the hose to the floor attachment to the angled nozzle and the brush) don't really fit well together and often come apart in the midst of cleaning. Also, because it is a small vacuum, the bags are small and although I've only used it about 4 times, I've already had to change the bag (I do have two pets).
In spite of the problems, for the price and the small space in which I'll be using it, the good definitely outweighs the bad.
great little vacuum!

This is a really good vacuum - better, in fact, that the larger upright one that cost three times as much. The suction is really strong, it's lightweight, it moves with you easily without flipping, and we do not have any problems with the tubes coming apart. (I think the problem has been fixed with the manufacturer...?)

This vacuum is a powerhouse machine. It turned out to be everything the other reviews stated and those reviews were the main reason I purchased it.
Almost there

I like the weight and mobility and suction and cord length, but the darn extension wands don't stick together well - they keep falling off as I vacuum. I really don't want to have to tape them together, because that defeats the versatility, but I don't think I have any choice.
compact, practical and efficient

I'm very happy with this purchase. The vacuum cleaner is very small and fits in my closet perfectly. It is very effective, both on wooden floors and carpet (unlike what some of the other reviews said), but it's true that I don't have much carpet in my house so it doesn't matter anyway.
The only downside is that it is very light so the vacuum cleaner sometimes turns over while vacuuming. Sometimes I literally have to pick it up from the floor and hold it while vacuuming to avoid it flipping over all the time. But all in all, I think this is a well-functioning, great vacuum cleaner and I can highly recommend it.
Good purchase experience

A Nice Little Unit 
2007-12-30
I have owned this unit for about a year now, and I am pleased to report that it continues to be a pleasure to use.
I live in a small apartment, and was looking for a subcompact with good power.
I chose the Panasonic mainly for it's price point, ample power, and small size.
If I had loads of cash, I would probably go bagless, 12 amp, hepa, however, this unit continues to provide me excellent pick up power, and "go anwhere" size all the while looking cute, and giving me one of my favorite features, a retractable cord that doesn't jam.
I have only one complaint about the Panasonic; I find that if the unit is being used with the wheels on the ground, the hose is just a trifle too short. I am 6 feet tall, and when I am using it, the hose length is such that when I move the wand towards me, the unit lifts off the ground. The work around for me is to use the unit in it's "stored" position, on its end. It's not a big problem, but keeps the unit being the "Most Perfect Mini-vacuum in the Universe"!
Please buy with without reservation if you need a little apartment vac!
excellent for hard floors and dusting...

We needed a supplement to our big carpet vacuum, something to dust with and use on the hardwood floors and light weight. Wow, did this do the job! Another reviewer suggested getting the bag version of this model and I found the bags on Amazon and the store offered free shipping on over 25 dollars, so I ordered a life time supply. The only thing I'm going to do is get an extension cord, the cord is a little short, but retracts automatically ..it's so light I just carry by the handle and very easy to use.
not worth it
