Owners and experts have mixed feelings about the bagless Sanyo SC-X1000P canister vacuum. This model earns below-average scores in one comparison test, and although owners say it does a generally good job of cleaning, some complain that it's heavy and difficult to maneuver, with some odd design issues (for example, the on/off switch is positioned on the canister unit instead of on the wand). We found more consistently good reviews for the competing Hoover WindTunnel Bagless S3765-040 (*est. $175).
The best reviews of the Sanyo SC-X1000P canister vacuum come from owners of this bagless canister vac posting to Amazon.com and Epinions. The Sanyo vac is also evaluated alongside others in a comparative test at Consumer Reports. We also found a (suspiciously positive) review of the Sanyo SC-X1000P at ConsumerGuide.com that made us doubt whether editors actually tested it.

This largely positive review appears to have been lifted straight from Sanyo's marketing kit, but the writer does point out that the Sanyo SC-X1000P's short (18-foot) cord makes it best suited for small living spaces.
