(More customer reviews)I'm glad to be back with Panasonic. I had a Panasonic vacuum that lasted at least fifteen years. Less than two years ago, in the process of blowing insulation into the walls, from the inside of the house, my beloved vacuum died. Needing one quick, I went to Consumer Reports, and, based on their recommendations, purchased an Eureka Boss. BIG MISTAKE! Pain to use, tired of getting hit in the leg with the hose, when not in use. When you needed to use the hose, you had to stop what you were doing, move the dial -- hose -- then move the dial back to vacuum regular. Tools falling off. You get the picture. Hated to have to vacuum!
Even though I take good care of my things (especially now a days, when nothing seems to last), the Boss broke in two, less than two years later. So, I came back to Panasonic and am VERY HAPPY I DID.
The UG471 is GREAT!
I have two non-stop shedding Siberian Huskies. This vacuum works great picking up their hair on hard wood floors and on carpeting. The tools, especially the hose, stay on board, when not in use and there is a place for all the tools on the vacuum. Retractable cord -- lovely!
The only downfalls I would site -- needs a longer cord (but it seems every manufacturer has shorten them to 30 feet. And a "grab" place on the front, for when you do not want to use the "power paw" when vacuuming stairs.
Excellent buy/value. Next up, a new Panasonic answering machine. Goodbye crappy Uniden (another terrible Consumer Reports recommendation!).

Panasonic MCUG471 Upright Vacuum CleanerEquipped with a powerful yet quiet 12 amp motor, this upright vacuum cleaner provides exceptional cleaning results and improved indoor air quality. The unit automatically adjusts to the proper setting for just about any carpet height, while its HEPA filtration system captures 99.97-percent of dust, allergens, and small particles, so only clean air gets expelled into the home. The vacuum's motor-protection system channels dust and dirt particles directly into the vacuum bag, promoting long life and more efficient cleaning for the fan and motor. Quickdraw tools rest in a side holster on the vacuum, ready for immediate use. The included stretch hose, two standard wands, dusting brush, and crevice tool ensure fast, powerful, above-floor cleaning. Connect the dusting brush or crevice tool to the vacuum's 12-1/2-foot attachment for easier access to hard-to-reach spots. Other highlights include an ergonomic handle, a foot-step handle release, a headlight, a 15-inch cleaning path, an integrated carrying handle, and a 24-foot power cord. A single touch activates the cord-rewind mechanism, making storage easy and convenient. The vacuum cleaner measures approximately 12-1/2 by 15 by 44-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
