Customer Review

This vacuum cleaner sucks. There I said it, now that that’s out of the way let’s get down to the nitty gritty the down and dirty. For the past five years or so I’ve only been using bag less vacuums. I have three. A Eureka upright, a Panasonic small canister and a DustBuster. Bag less vacuums are a breed unto themselves. You get to save the cost of the bags but you have to figure out how to empty them without making a bigger mess than you just cleaned up. You have to supply a bag of some sort so you can contain the dirt and dispose of it neatly. With a bag vacuum like the MC-CG885 that’s not a problem. What IS a problem is the bag inside is quite small and very costly. As Amazon doesn’t sell it (yet??) I found it on the Internet for about $6 per bag. For a bag as small as it is, that could be quite an expensive proposition to maintain. My first thought is if you have new carpet, they usually shed for quite a while (my bag less upright pulled up a lot of blue fuzz) and you’ll fill these bags very quickly. Going back to my first sentence, this “OptiFlow” has a lot of suction power. That’s good it pulled up dirt like nobody’s business.

To begin back at the beginning, assembling this vacuum was relatively easy. The hose attaches to the body with an easy twist and the wands also go together with positive latching mechanisms that are quite secure. Just make sure you connect the outboard power line so the beater bar and light get their power. It’s a simple, one way is right, positive connection. When it’s all together I noticed a few issues. There is a hook on the body to support the wand and head in an upright position for storage or rest. It sometimes tips over. If the head is set to anything other than extra low it always tips over. It won’t park as easily as an upright. It on the other hand isn’t as heavy as a typical upright. It’s fairly maneuverable too. It has three free spinning casters on its bottom and they roll easily on carpet or floor. I have both. The power cord is VERY long so you can plug it in and clean a large area or maybe two rooms. It retracts easily with the press of the large button on the top of the canister. Under the “hood” it has hidden storage for the crevice tool and small brush. Both work as expected. The business end of the hose has a pistol type grip and sliding on off switch. This is where you can attach the tools or by disconnecting the head end power cord you can use one of the rods for an extended reach. The power switch is an Off, Floor, Carpet three position switch. It also controls the beater bar on the head piece. It operates smoothly and efficiently.

I experimented with different heights for the head end. At its lowest setting it has a tendency to want to pull you forward, It’s very strong and digs into the carpet. As I raised it that corrected the situation and still got the cleaning done. Just be careful to get the right height setting. As for cleaning a floor, not so good. Light or loose dust is fine but for heavier grime you’ll need something better for that. It’s not a mop.

Changing the bag is easy and neat. It rests in a basket that has a handle to lift it out of the body. It’s all under the big hood that opens easily. That the bag is small and expensive is the biggest most damning strike on this otherwise fine vacuum. It is also relatively quiet for one that is as powerful as it is. I would love to see Panasonic come up with an emptyable cartridge that would go where the bag is, but that’s not going to happen.

To sum up. It’s strong, quiet, easy to use and does a very good job. I just can’t get over the fact that you will be running up serious expenses on bags.

UPDATE: March 14: I would raise the Star level to 4 now that Amazon is selling the bags and at a reasonable price (4 for $10). It ends my biggest gripe.

The new MC-UL915 Jetspin Cyclone is a high-powered bagless vacuum with six cyclonic chambers that separate dirt from the air flow for a cleaner filter and higher performance. The MC-UL915 Jetspin Cyclone’s large capacity dust cup is easily removed and can be disassembled completely and thoroughly cleaned, eliminating any residual odor.

“The new Panasonic Jetspin Cyclone vacuum was designed upright – as we have found many consumers prefer that style, but we also wanted to offer the multipurpose convenience of a canister with four conveniently stored on-board tools,” said Gino Iacovella, Group Manager, Home Appliances Group, Panasonic Home & Health Company. “With its versatile, attractive design, this high-performing vacuum makes the chore of whole-home cleaning easier – from carpets to hardwood floors, getting everything from the tight corners behind furniture to the hard-to-reach ceilings and curtains.”

The MC-UL915 Jetspin Cyclone features Panasonic’s QuickDraw2 system with a telescopic wand and hose that has a combined 12-foot range, so cleaning those hard-to-reach spots in corners or high ceilings and curtains is easy.

The Panasonic MC-UL671 AeroSpin™ Bagless Upright Vacuum is one of the two brands that have the Aerospin technology. The Panasonic MC-UL671 has a number of  innovative features that promise to take the drudgery out of vacuuming.

To quote the manufacturer, it is a great way to take the guesswork out of vacuuming.

Features & Performance

The MC-UL671 is an upright cyclonic vacuum cleaner that is powered by a 12 amp motor. One of the unique features in this vacuum is the built in protection system that shuts down the motor in case the machine ever happens to overheat or clog. This prevents a motor burn-out and ensures its safety.

However, chances of the MC-UL671 getting clogged are truly very slim. Its AeroSpin™ technology provides you with a clean filter and powerful suction, every-time you take out the vacuum for cleaning.

Quite simply, when you pull out the 24 foot  power cord to plug it into an outlet, the power-cord spins the filter and helps to keep it clean.  The cleaning of the filter takes place every-time before you start vacuuming as it is triggered by pulling out the power cord. This not only ensures that you vacuum has maximum suction but also ensures a longer filter life.

Its anti-static dirt cup ensures that pet hair, dirt and other debris doesn’t stick to the dirt cup when you empty it. Just a press of the button and the dirt cup is empty.

Other features such as the 15 inch cleaning nozzle and the air turbine attachment make vacuuming an easy task even for people who dread vacuuming.

Once you are through vacuuming, just press a button on the main unit and vacuum reels in the 24 foot power cord automatically. You don’t need to wind up the power cord.

Summary

Undoubtedly the smart looking MC-UL671 is packed with features that promise to make vacuuming more user-friendly and efficient. We may have to wait and see if the AeroSpin™ feature helps to keep the filter clean over a period of time. The motor protection feature will ensure a longer life for your motor.

Initial feedback from users has been good, but with a few dampeners. Users feel that the vacuum is top heavy and tends to topple over very easily. Moving it up or down the stairs isn’t easy as it is moderately heavy. Probably these issues need to be addressed.
