88.1 This Panasonic canister vacuum fared very well in recent Consumer Reports testing and also sells well on Amazon.  Consumer ratings are quite good and owners like the sturdy construction, quality tools and light weight of the vacuum, although comments regarding the fact that the headlight turns off in “Floor” mode and that the tools do not “click” into place are common.

88.0  Panasonic’s new bagless cyclone vacuum gets good consumer ratings but there few at this time.  It uses cyclonic suction (like Dyson and a number of other vacuums).  This approach “spins” the debris out of the airflow and ensures limited loss of suction over time and also cleaner filters. 

78.4  The Panasonic MCUG471 is a bagged upright that gets average consumer ratings.  It has several good features including auto-height adjustment and HEPA filtration but it is quite heavy and is best for carpet (and less effective on bare floors).

76.1  The Panasonic MC-CG467 Multi-Surface vacuum cleaner is a lightweight, compact bagged canister that gets average consumer ratings.  Costs are in the 100+USD range. 

84.7  The Panasonic MC-CG885 OptiFlow is a bagged canister vacuum cleaner and it gets good consumer ratings.  There are also a number of comments as to the "look" of the vacuum.  It seems some consumers feel it is an attractive machine.
