Panasonic MC-V7314 review highlights

Overall, owners and reviewers are satisfied with the cleaning ability of the Panasonic MC-V7314 on carpeting and hard floors, and especially appreciate its long (28-foot) power cord. However, there are complaints about this vacuum's all-plastic design, as well as costly replacement HEPA filters and a cord that retracts too fast.

We found the best reviews of the Panasonic MC-V7314 vacuum cleaner at Amazon.com, where a handful of owners weigh in on this vacuum, and at Consumer Guide, which (uncharacteristically) tempers its generally positive review with some major caveats. Unfortunately, Consumer Reports does not include the Panasonic vacuum cleaner in its recent roundup of dozens of bagged and bagless upright vacuums.
