These bags were a lot more difficult to track down than I thought they would be when I bought the vacuum a year ago. Which is a significant drawback considering how small the vaccum is -- the bags need replaced often.
Sturdy enough, good price and did I mention that this is the only place I can find them?
What can I say, they are vacuum bags and as such, they fit the vacuum and they hold dust, crumbs etc..
This is a hard to find item at local retailers. Most of retail shops
carry the after market brands not the OEM Panasonic. Their prices are about double that of Amazon's if they have in stock. Some sellers offer free shipping even for less than .00 in purchase.
I have two dogs, and have owned Dyson, Kenmore and other vacuums, none have lifted dirt and dog hair like this vacuum does at a fraction of the price that I had paid for the Dyson. The vacuum easily comes apart and all parts can be cleaned. The self-propelled feature is necessary since this is a heavy vacuum. The best feature for me is the ability to fully remove the agitator brush roll to remove the pet hair. Well-designed and easy to assemble and operate. Unfortunately, due to poor shipping, the vacuum box was damaged and the unit itself received some exterior damage. It might be better to find this product on sale in the store.
I bought a new Kirby last year and it does a great job. It has such powerful suction, you can see it almost lift the carpet off the floor. With the auto drive, it is very easy to push on the carpet. You can do it with one finger. It has an attachment for just about any cleaning job you want, including shampooing your carpets.
I guess my biggest complaint is that you need to take off the front part to attach and use the hose. That is really inconvenient when wanting to get at baseboards. You either finish up vacuuming, then change the hose attachment and go around to each room again and do the baseboards. Or you have to change it while in each room and back again.
My second complaint is the weight of the machine. It's heavy for a woman to carry up and down stairs, or to use cleaning the mattress.
If you don't mind the draw backs, this machine will clean like no other and should last a lifetime with few repairs.
I recently had to replace our Bissell vacuum after only having it for a couple years. We've had this Electrolux for a few weeks and so far it has had great suction. The features are very convenient. The wand is very easy to take out and the storage chamber pops out quite quickly. It's quieter than the Bissell and Hoover's I've had in the past. It is heavy, but I actually like that because it means it's probably made with better components (more metal and less plastic= longer life). So far I would definitely recommend it over virtually any Bissell and probably most of the Hoover's.
You will be amazed (and perhaps disgusted) to find out just how dirty your carpets really are after using this unit (even after vacuuming with a "high-end" vacuum cleaner). It REALLY pulls out the dirt. But make no mistake: this is no "miracle worker". If your carpets are soiled with pet stains, you will want to pre-treat stain areas by spraying (and thereafter scrubbng with a scrub sponge) the stained areas with the cleaning solution prior to using the unit. Also, after 3 or 4 months, most pet stains will reappear. This is not a negative reflection on the Hoover cleaner, but more a reflection on the realities (and limitations) of carpets, carpet cleaners, and pet stains. I am not aware of any other carpet cleaner (commercial or non-commercial) that can do any better than this unit, and believe me, I have looked. Further, the performance of the unit will depend on your willingness to clean out pet fur and/or other debris from the filters. As said, it is not a miracle cleaner - you have to give it some help by cleaning out the filters so that it can perform at its best. To my knowledge, there is no "miracle carpet cleaner" that ovbiates the need to peform essential basic maintenance on the unit.
This product also wins accolades for not leaking cleaning solution from the primary tank or the recovery tank. It's a very "tight unit", liquid-wise.
If you want clean carpets, and don't want to drop 00 or more on a true "commercial" cleaner, this is the way to go.
