Posted a Youtube of the Panasonic Jet-Flo MC-6230 with the electronic variable speed control
I'm chipping away at getting a video of most of my vacs eventually.
I think why I like them is firstly because the DAM was always my favorite vacuum in the looks dept and when they went off the market and the Panasonics came in looking much like them it just carried on.
Not that I recollect ever seeing they were all full size versions over here. No doubt they probably had smaller ones for Japan etc.. I've seen small Sanyos and Hitachi vacs before but not panasonics
That's my "daily driver", been using it since the mid '90s. Just slide some new brushes in form time to time and it's great. I do need to replace the cord at some point, just haven't got around to it.
