Hello Venson:
I agree. Uprights are Pano's forte not canns. But, as MOLE pointed out here some time ago, all the canns are morphing into each other just the names and prices are different.
When the new "d" brand launched and needed a tried, tested, and proven motor for its $500 plus bagless upright, it went no further than the cheapest Pano single fan motor on the market. The motor is an icon of the vacuum industry for decades. For an engineer who employs the majority of the free world's engineers [475 but who's counting] that saying's something for the old tired Pano vacuum brand. It's dependable, reliable and buyers' get their money's worth.
