We have had our fair share of vacuums over the years from free vacuums to $700.00 vacuums. I would by not means say that I am an expert when it comes to them but I will be honest in saying that I do know more than most men should probably know when it comes to vacuum cleaners. Recently we added the Panasonic MC-UL815 to the mix and so far I am extremely happy with this vacuum.
First thing I noticed right out of the box was its awesome vibrant green color. I know it has nothing to do with how the vacuum functions but our oldest really likes using this vacuum and when I asked her why she said because it was not ugly. My review will be based on a little more than the color but I will agree it is a nice looking vacuum. To me the two best features are its bagless and has swivel steering. No more making sure you have extra vacuum bags on hand for when the current one fills up. I also love that it is lightweight so that Sabreena as well as Melinda are able to carry it up two flights of steps without killing their backs in the process. It also comes with a dirt sensor that tells you when the area you are vacuuming is clean. Seriously, how cool is that? I know sometimes I am in such a hurry to get the vacuuming done that I practically run through the house but not anymore and the Panasonic forces me to slow down and make sure that I am really getting the carpet as clean as can be. These are just a few of the things that I really like about the vacuum. Sabreena like the retractable power cord because to her it makes maneuvering the vacuum easier than a traditional cord. The Panasonic Bagless Upright Vacuum is packed full of great features that make this a must have.
