Panasonic commercial model Jet Flo

[petek]

I got this today at the Sally Ann. I had no idea Panasonic made a Commercial Jet Flo and now I do. It's got I'm guessing a 60 ft or longer 3 prong cord and a cloth bag. It's also quite loud and I'm not quite sure if that's normal or a sign the motors or something needs greasing. On/off brushroll switch, hi/lo suction and a vac guage. I forgot to take a picture of the substantial brushroll

Panasonic Jetflo built to commercial specifications eh? probably better built than most french tanks..

Loud

Pete,
That should not be any louder than a normal Panasonic... what kind of LOUD is it?
Dry bearing loud?
rattle-y rode hard and put away wet loud?
Dirt in the motor fans loud?

I'm thinking it's dry bearings loud,,on the shrill side. You don't want to use it too long.

It's essentially similar to my other large Panasonic home model...which is fairly quiet and has a larger motor 8.5 A.

This commercial one has a 7 Amp. I guess I'm gonna have to take it apart eventually.

These are still made. Well, this design is still made anyway. Vaclensa ProClean upright's are basically the same vacuum.
