Panasonic is an electric products manufacturer known for manufacturing televisions, DVD disc players, digital cameras, and audio equipment. They also manufacture everyday home products like telephones, microwave ovens, shavers and vacuum cleaners.

Panasonic was founded under the name Matsushita Electric Factory in 1918 by Konosuke Matsushita in Japan. He invented a two-socket light fixture. He felt that putting the needs of the customers and the public first was very important. In the 1930s, Matsushita began manufacturing radios and a large scale factory in Kadoma, Osaka was constructed. There were some difficulties during World War two for Matsushita Electric Factory, but by the 1950s, business was booming again.

In 1955, the brand name Panasonic was created for sales in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The word "pan" means "all" and the word "sonic" means "sound." Back then, Panasonic was known mostly for its audio equipment.

By 1997, Panasonic had produced a cumulative total of seventy million vacuum cleaner units. By 2004, the total number of vacuum cleaners produced had climbed to one hundred million. Panasonic vacuums are known for their overall high quality and various features that meet consumers' specific needs. This falls in line with Matsushita's vision of putting the customer first. Some of the vacuums offered in Panasonic's broad spectrum are:

The Panasonic MC-UG383 upright vacuum cleaner is a lightweight vacuum cleaner with superior suction and 12 amps of cleaning power. It also protects you from costly repairs with its motor protection system. This system makes sure that all of the objects and particles sucked into the vacuum are delivered directly into the vacuum bag, protecting the fan and motor. Features such as a dusting brush, extension wands, and a crevice tool as well as automatic carpet adjustment make this cleaner a versatile cleaning machine.

The Panasonic MC-CG467 canister vacuum cleaner keeps its tools recessed on the top of the canister. This means that any time a crevice tool or dusting brush is needed, they are readily available. The 3-in-1 multi-surface brush that is included cleans wood floors, short pile carpeting, and long pile carpeting. Designed with versatility in mind, the Panasonic MC-CG467 does nothing but deliver.

The Panasonic MC-UL671 bagless upright vacuum cleaner is an ideal vacuum cleaner for pet owners. The anti-static dirt cup it features is made of special anti static plastic that prevents pet hair from clinging for easy disposal.  Clogs are dissuaded by the aerospin cord-activated filter cleaning, and quickdraw on-board tool are always ready to be used. Tackling dirt, pet dander and dust is effortless with the Panasonic MC-UL671.

Even vacuum cleaner bags at Panasonic are crafted with care. The MC-V145M bags are made of 2-ply construction with high efficiency liners. 99% of particles at 5 microns are filtered. Particles are small as .1 microns are captured. This means most of the particles in your home like dust, bacteria mold, pollen and dust mites will be trapped in your vacuum bag. These bags are used in Panasonic MC-3900 series vacuum cleaners.

When you purchase any product by Panasonic, expect to get innovation, quality, and performance combined with ease of use. After all, Panasonic offers its consumers "Ideas for life."
