Panasonic Fold-N-Go Bagless, Lightweight, Upright Vacuum Cleaner MC-V5485

Date Published: 10/29/08

A less expensive alternative to Panasonic's full-size models, the MC-V5485 makes a good choice for limited budgets and smaller spaces.

Consider this model if storing a bulky vacuum cleaner is a challenge for you. The folding handle on this unit allows you to lower the profile of the machine so it can slide easily under clothes hanging in a closet.

Durable enough for light cleaning tasks, this model would not be our choice for a large home with excessive foot traffic. For those looking for a light-usage machine, the MC-V5485 offers plenty of convenient features, including a quick-draw wand for easy-access cleaning with the crevice tool and dusting brush.

A dual-edge cleaning feature picks up dirt against the wall on both sides of the machine, thanks to two edge brushes. Cleaning carpets of various thickness is made easy with an automatic height adjustment. Equipped with a HEPA filter, this vacuum makes a good choice for those with allergies or concerns about dust being re-circulated back into the room.

Bagless as well as versatile, the Panasonic MC-V5485 has a double-brush agitator that can be shut off to care for hard flooring.

Pro: folding handle for easy storage
Con: less durable than some
