Panasonic TriForce Series (Upright) 5

I have had 2 panasonic sweepers before, one was the older model 7 amp ototr and it was a good vacuum, then I traded it in and bought the next model up, a 9 amp performance plus model that I used for years cleaning my own house as well as others. It was a great sweeper also. Then my young son moved to Fla, and didn't have much money and all that he had was a stick sweeper so I gave him my panasonic sweeper with all the attachmnents. This gave me an excuse to go look at the new panasonic vacuums. There was the new model vacuum with the triforce motor and powerglide, so new that I can't even find the model online. It has 12 amps and a headlight and long cord and high quality brushes and hoses. My old vacuum had been used lots on my 6 month old carpeting but the first time I used the new vacuum on my new carpeting I was amazed at the amount of carpet fuzz that it picked up that my old vacuum hadn't been powerful enough to pick up. I went to Ristenbatt Vacuum's site while I was looking and they have an excellent explanation of how the triforce motor works vs the original motor. I am very very pleased with my purchase. The sweeper isn't too heavy for my bad shoulder and it can be used on all sufaces as it is self adjusting. Well worth the money. Debbie from Ohio
