I have a 10 year old Panasonic that I like. I can't comment on the other 
commercial vacuums, but I expect that they are equally good.

I've had this Panasonic while my relatives have gone through a 
succession of el-junko Eureka and Hoover consumer models.

The closest is probably the MC-V5210.

Look at the Eureka C5712A from Costco.com.
