Is this item just a colour variant of the green Panasonic MC-CG917 vacuum? or is it an upgrade of the Panasonic MC-CG917? Why is it more $$$?

Consumer Reports rates the 937 10 points higher than the 917, says difference is bare floor performance.
2081691
I don't own either but one difference I did see in researching both models is that this one has "variable suction control" while the 917 appears not to have this. So I would say this is definitely an upgrade. Personally, I find that feature very important for vacuuming lamps, curtains, etc. and would pay more for this.

I'm struggling w this question too. So far, it looks like the 937 main floor unit (nozzle?) has a different form and looks like the front of the unit might be lower, smaller, to facilitate getting under things and cleaning edges. But I sure would like a more clear cut explanation of reason for the $100 higher cost. Heck Panasonic even uses photos of the green one (917?) to illustrate features of the 937 - very confusing. I don't want to pay +$100 just for purple.

Is the plastic on the canister of the Purple (MC-CG917) a better quality than the Kenmore Progressive Blueberry Model 21614...or for that matter any of the new Kenmore's.

I recently shopped for a vacuum and before I purchased, called Panasonic. The manufacturers rep did a comparison of the two, and found no differences, other than the fact that the purple vacuum is this years Model, while the green vacuum is actually last years. I went for the savings and bought the green model. We love it. It's quiet and has great suction. Works great on carpet and tile floors!

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

Yes it is the correct price!!! I know I am shocked too! It is a discontinued item that is way it's so costly. I bought modern organic product MOP pomade for $15.00 and I love it. Why don't you give it a try?

I'm very interested in this vacuum cleaner. I just want to make sure it's new.

You know I did a lot of research before I finally purchased my Dyson and the best I've been able to determine the machine itself is the same. I've heard from others that the Animal has stiffer bristles in the motorized head but the two seemed the same to me in the store. The main difference (besides the color) appears to be what's included in the box. You get a different set of tools with the Allergy model than you do with the Animal. The Allergy comes with a soft dusting brush, matress tool and flexi crevice tool that add up to $89.97 purchased seperately. The Animal comes with a mini turbine head, low reach tool and a carpet cleaning kit with Zorb and Dysolv which add up to $145.96 purchased seperately. I think that's your difference in pricing. Hope this helps you out!

Not a thing! I looked at both of them side by side in Kmart where they sell for up to almost $200. I researched a lot of vacuums because I had my heart set on a Dyson for years until I realized one day that my family needed one that would trap the allergens. Bagless vacuums do not do a good enough job at that. I will say that this is cheaply made but the suction is great!

Honestly I don't think there is a difference, I think it's a typo. I can tell you that this vacuum has tons of suction and is a really good product. you would love it. I got the carrier with mine, its awesome because you can wrap it around yourself or carry it on your shoulder and put all of your tools in the little pocket on the side. I clean houses for a living and use it all the time.

The one I ordered came with the vacuum adapter...I've used it several times...works pretty good!

I also have Panasonic platinum vacuum and its the best strength and lifting of all pet hair and anything. It cost about 230$ and I've had it for 5 years. The one you questioned is great for 90$ but considerable differance. I always get cheap version of everything but I was convinced by a actual vacuum salesman and I am very happy. I just recently go lesser panisonic for downstairs and keep other upstairs. The panisonic platinum is sold as a pet hair superior vacuum. It is worth extra 130$. Cheaper is a good value also and much lighter and quieter if that matters.

The one on the right is the one I received with my vac. It was not that good on carpet so I ordered the one on the left from Panasonic for about $12.50. I highly recommend this attachment as it rolls way better, easier, and great on carpet too.

I can't tell you what the differences are as I am not acquainted with those models. However I love the one I have. It has plenty of power and is very user friendly. Switches easily for different cleaning needs. I have no regrets with this vacuum.

Must be. Like you, I had one for many many years and it did everything I needed and more. It finally died and went to vacuum heaven. I was going to buy this new version until I saw the reviews. Now I don't know what to do.

I don't know. My last three vacuums have been Panasonic. I've been very satisfied with each of them and I LOVE the cord reel.

I was on Dyson's website and they said they no longer make the 65 Animal. I just ordered this and thought it was an animal one. I hope I am not disappointed? I had the Dyson 17 Animal Since 2008. I did have to take it apart twice because of loss of suction in the cylinder. I watched a YouTube video. But after cleaning several clogged cylinders it was like new. I had to do it again yesterday and used too much torque and broke a mount which left a gap and the suction....sucked. Does the brush still spin on wood floors?

I don't know but I didn't like the vacuum...way overpriced...I gave it to a friend and used Consumer Reports recommendation of a Hoover Wind Tunnel...it just didn't have enough suction...like the hoover better even though it's much heavier...

Great Question :) The answer is YES anytime you buy it from GreatVacs it will ALWAYS have that tool and be exactly as pictured. The problem is on Amazon is that this listing is our listing and our picture and our description but other sellers can sell it here as well. So if you bought it from someone besides GreatVacs the condition and accessories will probably be different than the picture. That is why you see conflicting reviews is if they bought it from someone else it might not come with that.We are experts in Rainbow vacuums so let us know if you have any other questions :)Thanks DustinGreatVacs (sellers) Great Question :) The answer is YES anytime you buy it from GreatVacs it will ALWAYS have that tool and be exactly as pictured.

The motor head is worse the brush bar barely touches the floor. I have had both the dc59 animal and the dc59 Motörhead and I like the animal much better. Dyson claims the motorhead works better due to its stand alone powered brush bar but I beg to differ. I think they failed with the brush bar itself and didn't put it low enough. Get the animal, it's a cheaper better vacuum.
