Advantages: Great suction, Good looking

Disadvantages: Overheating, cutting out, filter clogs

The Panasonic icon MC-E590 is the worse vacuum I have ever known. The first day I used the cleaner it cut out due to overheating. There is a filter that clogs up and stops the rotation of the filter wipers (no mention of this filter in the manual). The second motor in the beater bar sounded like a good idea but, the brushes stopped turning when I pushed the cleaner forward and started again after a delay. I have owned a Dyson & a electrolux cyclone prior to the icon and I have come to the conclusion that the designers haven't got it right yet with any of the new hi-tec design vac's. I think the traditional vac's with the dustbags are a better choice. Bagless & cyclones end up costing more money through repairs & new filters & belts.
WARNING AVOID THEM ALL UNTIL THEY GET IT RIGHT!!!!!
