Summary: Best Vacuum Cleaner I've owned
Comment: The price is high but I was really sick of vacuum cleaners that didn't last. I have kids & pets & this makes cleaning a breeze. I am delighted with this machine & think it is worth every penny!

Summary: Mercedes Benz of Vacuum Cleaners!
Comment: After the frustration of going through several vacuum cleaners, I decided to stop spending $100 every 6 months for junkers and spend 8 times as much for the German Mercedes. I am not disappointed.

I've had this vacuum for several months now in a high traffic kid and pet environment and it purrs along with suction as good as ever and never a clogged hose yet. The size is handy and lightweight in the canister vac configuration which I personally vastly prefer over uprights.

The bags are small and cost about $3/each but the vacuum does not spew out dust and $3/week to maintain the Mercedes which has transformed vacuuming from a nightmare into pleasure is worth it. :)

Summary: wow
Comment: We just bought this last week. Wow! It cannot be compared to the vacuums we had before. It is simply much more powerful. Truly visible difference on the carpets. We have a two bedroom apartment, and the powercord is more than long enough (longer than on the Electrolux we had before). All the attachements, the worksmanship is truly quality. All our previous vacuums had an average life of 2yrs, this will defenitely last longer. And one more thing: it is truly amazing how quiet it is. The previous one always freaked the dog out and woke the baby. I never believed that a vacuum can be so quiet and yet so powerful. It is worth the investment.

Summary: Not too bad
Comment: This is my 6th vacuum in 23 years of marriage. For the price, I expected a little more....It's pretty much like my old Kenmore, lots of plastic. I wish the cord were a bit longer and would stay in the socket. It comes out pretty easily and I have to go back and keep replugging it in. I have cats, and it does a good job with picking up the fur. Both the power head and the hard floor nozzle are too wide for getting behing places my Kenmore, hard floor attachment could easily get behind. I can get under some furniture I couldn't get under with the power head on the Kenny..
The vacuum itself is compact and light weight. It maneuvers throughout the house easily moving from tile, to laminate to plush carpet.
I bought it because I've heard it lives a long time...my other units including the sanitaire, which cost about the same as the Meile, died very young...I've heard the Miele lives sometimes 20 years...which is like my mother's vacuum, which lived about 50 years!
So, if the Miele people are reading...please make the cord a foot or so longer, with a three prong, plug and the hard floor tool a little more narrow.
