My friend Michael bought a pair of vacuums listed on eBay for £60, one was a Hoover turbopower U2194 and the other was a Panasonic MCE465. He bought the Hoover for £30 and I bought the Panasonic for £30 so we went half and half basically, he wanted the Hoover and I wanted the Panasonic as I already have the exact same turbopower anyway.
My model MCE465 is probably from around 2001/2002 but not certain. This model was two models bellow the very last model, which was the MCE468, and I believe the MCE468 was the very last 400 series Panasonic to be manufactured in Spain. This style cleaner is still on sale today, but has a different model number, no headlight (which was on the earlier 400's I believe) no brushroll on/off, no variable power (again certain 400 models only) and the newest ones are of course made in china and not Spain.
The MCE465 features - bag full indicator, 1500 watts, automatic height adjustment, edge cleaning, brushroll on/off and "clean filtration" I think it is a brilliant vacuum, it is really very good and it agitates very well, I did have one of these style machines brand new in 2007, it was ok, but not as good as this one, and with it's 1500 motor it sure is quite and very powerful.
Anyway I have talked enough, here are some pictures of it, and by the way, my phone camera makes it look like it is bottle green when it is really a lovely emerald green colour.
