that would be a

Panasonic made machine... good price and a decent vacuum. TAKE CARE OF IT!! Change the bag when 2/3 full, change the belt every 6 months, watch what you sweep up so it does not clog up, and keep the brush roll free of hair and string.
Do that, and it will serve you well for many years.

and keep the brush roll free of hair and string

that is sooo important, esp hair or string that works itself into the endcaps. if you cant easily turn the brushroll manually, STOP and service the brushroll before using the cleaner.

never run the cleaner over the cord while vacuuming

avoid rolling the vacuum over bulky thresholds or on rough areas like stone. carry the vacuum.

cleaners in this price-range dont take abuse or very heavy use well.

Thanks

hi guys

i may work at wally world but in my opinion i would not buy a vacuum from them if my life depended on it. i bought two bagless and they both died a quick death, instead i went to Big Lots and got me a eureka bravo bagged vacuum and the thing sucks and pics up like nobody's business, it is the best vacuum i have ever spent 63.00 on and i wont go back to bagless the two i bought at wally world were junk.at wally world i used to work at the service desk and re turned alot of bissell bagless vacuums they blew out more dirt then they sucked up. and the carpet shampooers they are even worse.
