Panasonic MC-4620 Review

What the reviewers like:
Owners say the Panasonic MC-4620 canister vacuum cleans fairly well for its super-budget price and that it works best for bare floors.

What the reviewers don't like:
Because it's so cheap, the Panasonic MC-4620 doesn't include many of the amenities of more expensive canister vacuums, such as a telescoping wand. Also, since it lacks a brushroll, it's not good for cleaning carpets.

Panasonic MC-4620 review highlights

Owners seem to like the no-frills Panasonic MC-4620 canister vacuum, which is easily the best-reviewed ultra-cheap canister vacuum on the market. The Panasonic MC-4620 comes with a few tools, but it has no telescoping wand, and its power cord is fairly short. Also, because this vacuum lacks a brushroll, it doesn't work well on carpets and rugs. Rather, owners say the Panasonic MC-4620 suction-only canister vacuum is a better bet for bare floors.

The Panasonic MC-4620 canister vacuum is reviewed in depth by only two sources: ConsumerGuide.com and owners posting to Amazon.com. It's unclear if the writer for ConsumerGuide.com actually tried out this budget-priced vacuum, but at least the comments on Amazon.com are clearly based on practical testing.

Editors of ConsumerGuide.com

Some ConsumerGuide.com reviews are fair and balanced, but this blurb appears to be taken from Panasonic's press kit. However, the writer does mention that the "lightweight and convenient" Panasonic MC-4620 canister vacuum isn't good for plush carpeting since it lacks a brushroll.
