The Panasonic MC-CG973 Power Head canister vacuum cleaner is a versatile and powerful designed to clean a variety of hard floors as well as carpets. The Panasonic MC-CG973 is equipped with a 12 amp motor therefore it works with superb suction and has the capability of capturing even the smallest dirt and debris lying around your house. This unit features a three-stage HEPA filtration system so you are assured that 99.9% of germs are captured and not released back into the air.

It also features a 14-inch power nozzle to clean all floor surfaces. Inside the nozzle there is an agitator that generates positive brush action for more effective cleaning, and the fingertip switch shuts off the agitator for safer cleaning on bare-floor surfaces. For a more effective cleaning to your floors, the power nozzle generates a very positive brush action which is easy to shut off for bare floors like hardwoods or linoleum. This gives the MC-CG973 canister vacuum the ability to be used throughout your home with no changing of attachments.

When it comes to attachments, the Panasonic MC-CG973 includes the standard crevice tool, dusting brush, and others that you would expect from a modern vacuum cleaner. These attachments are in recessed slots at the top of the canister so the tools are within easy reach. All you have to do is flip up the cover and pick the right tool for the job.

There is also a built-in overload protector that helps prevent damage to the nozzle motor and belt, in case the agitator becomes clogged or jammed. This overload protector automatically shuts down the unit to protect the integrity of the nozzle motor and belt. When the blockage is removed, all you have to do is press the restart button and resume vacuuming.

The unit's stretch hose connects to the canister using a 360-degree swivel connector, which permits a wide range of cleaning without moving the canister, plus reduces canister tip-over. This is one good point because oftentimes vacuum cleaners tip over when used in cleaning hard to reach areas so this feature will enable you to clean hard to reach places with very little effort.

Other highlights include four-position height adjustment, an easy-grip handle, and a 24-foot power cord with automatic cord rewind. In addition, the unit provides two chrome wands, a full furniture guard, dual-active edge cleaning, and a headlight. The lightweight vacuum cleaner measures 28-1/4 x 12-4/5 x 16-1/7 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Advantages
With its very powerful 12 amp motor, the Panasonic MC-CG973 surprisingly works very quietly. Its powerful nozzle also works well with the attachments. Most importantly, for the a powerful vacuum cleaner, this model is very cheap, an edge to its competitor vacuum cleaners.

Disadvantages
It has a very stiff power cord making the dragging as well as the cleaning hard. Complaints were also received of the on-board furniture brush falling off when in use. Users also say that it is very awkward to roll from bare floor to area rugs.
