Panasonic MC-CG885 OptiFlow Canister Vacuum Cleaner
14-inch cleaning path with 4 carpet-height settings. View larger.
Equipped with a powerful 12 amp motor, this lightweight canister vacuum cleaner by Panasonic delivers high-quality performance for deep-down cleaning throughout the home. The unit's 14-inch-wide cleaning path makes it possible to cover larger areas in less time, while its four different height settings accommodates a variety of carpet styles. A convenient switch on the handle shuts off the agitator to ensure safe cleaning of bare-floor surfaces and delicate rugs, making it possible to transition from carpeting to hardwood floors with ease.

Advanced Design
In addition, the bag-style canister vacuum cleaner features OptiFlow technology, which helps maintain a consistent volume of airflow through the dust bag, even as it becomes full. The cleaner also provides a handy electronic performance indicator--a red light will illuminate when the air flow becomes restricted by a full bag or blockage in the hose. Even more, the vacuum cleaner comes fitted with a HEPA filter, which effectively captures small particles such as allergens, irritants, and pollutants. A removable on-board caddy allows for easy bag disposal and replacement.
Swivel Hose & On-Board Tools
Thoughtfully constructed, the vacuum's 6-foot-long 360-degree swivel hose permits a wide range of cleaning in any direction without the hose getting twisted, and its power nozzle smoothly releases for use of the hose on its own. A variety of on-board attachments come included for thorough detailing and above-floor cleaning. Use the upholstery tool for sucking up dust, pet hair, and crumbs from furniture; the crevice tool to get in between couch cushions or other tight spots; and the upper and lower quick-release chrome wands to access hard-to-reach areas--remove dirt from far back corners or cob webs from the ceiling.
Vented double-wall design allows for optimum airflow.

The High Cost of MaintenancePanasonic MC-CG885 OptiFlow Lightweight Bag Canister Vacuum Cleaner
This vacuum cleaner sucks. There I said it, now that that's out of the way let's get down to the nitty gritty the down and dirty. For the past five years or so I've only been using bag less vacuums. I have three. A Eureka upright, a Panasonic small canister and a DustBuster. Bag less vacuums are a breed unto themselves. You get to save the cost of the bags but you have to figure out how to empty them without making a bigger mess than you just cleaned up. You have to supply a bag of some sort so you can contain the dirt and dispose of it neatly. With a bag vacuum like the MC-CG885 that's not a problem. What IS a problem is the bag inside is quite small and very costly. As Amazon doesn't sell it (yet??) I found it on the Internet for about $6 per bag. For a bag as small as it is, that could be quite an expensive proposition to maintain. My first thought is if you have new carpet, they usually shed for...
As Powerful As They ComeI'm simply thrilled by how well the Panasonic MC-CG885 cleans! At 12 Amps, this vacuum cleaner is as powerful as they come! The powerful suction helps in tackling large areas with amazing speed and ease. It works very well on both bare floor and high pile carpets. On carpets, the motorized beater brush provides plenty of torque to quickly loosen any deeply embedded dirt or pet hair. It should take at most a couple of passes to clean an area, even on very dense carpets.

The only fault I can find with it is the lack of an upholstery tool and a floor brush. Besides the main bare floor/carpet attachment, the unit comes with only (1) a small dusting brush and (2) a crevice tool. For the most part though, the lack of a floor brush attachment is not a big deal since bare floor/carpet attachment is really light and maneuverable. Besides, I use

Will thrill the clean freak in you!Update March '10: I just wanted to say I've had this vac for over a year now, and still use it at least twice a week(and look forward to using it) to maintain my hardwood floors. I absolutely love it!
Original review: I am a self professed clean freak. We have 2 cats that I am allergic to, so the floors being clean is especially important to me. This Panasonic vac has made me very happy! I live in a 2nd floor apartment with a carpeted hallway & stairs, the rest of my apartment is hardwood floors with linoleum in the kitchen and tile in the bath. I've used it everywhere and it's AMAZING! As someone described it to me, it will 'suck chrome off a tow hitch', which sounds a little funny -- but that is the power it has.
Putting it together is easy and will take a matter of minutes, but be careful that you put the metal poles together correctly, otherwise you won't have power to the vac head that you push on the floor. It took me a bit to figure out that I had made...
