Panasonic is a leading brand in the home today. The company designs and manufactures a whole range of products including televisions, DVD players, digital cameras and other modern home appliances. However, one household appliance that they are little known for is the vacuum cleaner...

Who Are Panasonic?

The journey began in 1918. The original name of the company was Matsushita and it still is the name of the company branch in Japan. Matsushita sold products under the brand name National. It was a highly organised company with the branding capturing the attention of Japan. It soon became synonymous with quality and technological innovation.

However, when the company decided to branch out into Europe, the United States and Canada, they could not take the brand name of National with them. These countries already had brand names that were commonly known as National. Thus Panasonic was born and the company has flourished ever since, adding to its product range and perpetuating one of the biggest battles in electronics history with Sony. The Panasonic VHS won out against the Sony Betamax, but where do the vacuum cleaners come in?

The Products

The vacuum cleaner is not a well known Panasonic product when compared to the myriad of entertainment products that they sell, and it has not really made an impact on overall company sales. There are several upright vacuums and several cylinder vacuums models manufactured. They are all fairly reasonable in terms of price, thus their main advantage is the fact that they are affordable.

They all appear modern but there are fewer sold than most other big vacuum cleaner brands likely because they are not well publicised. The best selling vacuum cleaners that Panasonic have on offer are the bagless cylinder vacuums. They are actually extremely efficient and offer a more versatile alternative to the uprights that cannot reach every nook and cranny in your home!

The Features

Panasonic vacuums have a variety of different features. For example, you could choose a HEPA air filtration system or an electrostatic one. Many of them are extremely powerful at over 2000W. One of the main features though is the huge capacity for dust. Most of the bagless Panasonic vacuums have a capacity of 2.5 litres for dust but the bagged ones can go in excess of 6 litres, meaning that they require less maintenance than their competitors.
