Spring Cleaning 2011- WOOT!

[vac_whisperer]

And ive decided i would use this vacuum on the carpets. Its been my current dailey use vacuum and is very powerful. Its a green 1996 Panasonic Performance Plus. I have all the attachments and even the original owners manual! Even though this vacuum has a hose, ill probably use the ol' Lewyt 44 (or at least i think its a 44) for the dusting. Ill post pics of it as soon as i dig it out of the black hole known as my basement.

Does the brush roll on this Panasonic shut off when you are using it in "tool mode"?

That would make it ideal.

I think you can still get one of those long extension hoses that plugs into the port in the back to make above-floor cleaning very easy with this vac......

I have the red version of this vacuum. I want to say it's a 1989, but I could be wrong. I do know for sure that it is from the 80's though. It is the exact same thing, except it isn't a Performance Plus model, and mine has a dirt sensor. I can't tell if that one does or not. But those are great vacuums!

Still love my old one from 89 I think. Unstoppable.

Mine is a '96. Love it. Strangely enough, even though its not as old, it doesnt have a dirt sensor. I looked at the receipt, and lets just say, it wasnt cheap. $400!

And no, the brushroll does not shut off in tool mode.
