The older power nozzle. Part of what caused me to be dismissive with Meile was looking at and hefting the little plastic power nozzle. I have turned on a few at Albert Lee the local Miele dealer and they seemed to float over the carpet. I was very surprised and continue to be amazed at the...

My neighbor has a 2 year old Kirby Sentria. She had the full kit and kaboodle and wanted to shampoo her carpet. I offered to show her how. 1. She hadn't changed the bag since she owned it. The bag was so full you couldn't bend the handle. I ran to the Kirby shop for bags HOLY CRAP X100! 2 bags...

Dynamic Duo With nothingleft to lose, I pour Krud Kutter on the spot and used a pot brush to work it in. I filled the water reservoir with boiling water and the soap dispenser with white vinegar. I brushed the siled areas with pain hot water amf then extracted with the a white vinegar rinse...

Arianne I bought an American Hoover that looks like the Arianne. It is orange and has a turbo carpet attachment as well a bare floor, dust and upholstery brush. It uses paper dust bags and it had a Sanyo bag in it when I bought it at the Re-Cycle store for $45.00. It was supposed to work, but...

Carpet I ordered the carpet from a jobber who works for our company, sight unseen. I told him I wanted frieze in a tweed. This is more like a cultured shag or over the top plush in a warm butterscotch. It feels marvelous when its freshly vacuumed and walking with bare feet. It is just a year...

Easy come Easy go As the pictures show, this was last months look. It goes in and out faster than a physic through a goose.

Only the Finest Shop Here. I live in Burien so I have the option to work Salvation Army at 5 corners on a 160th and 1st. Its a personal favorite, run by family and always has the best prices. Most of the furniture I have came from there. I shop the St Vincent DePaul on 136th and 1st but its hit...

Turns on a Dime the ingenious wheel within a wheel make this vacuum dance with the stars.

The Underbelly or Seamy side of Meile The stainless base plate and stainless brush roll are both gleaming.

Draw a line in the dirt! So, here's the proof in the pudding. This baby lifts and grooms the nap beyyer than my Electolux, Hoover(s), Kenmore, Dirt Devil, Kirby G or Sharp. This will be the only vacuum I'll need for the rest of my life. I am truly amazed at the carpet.

Yours or mine? It gives you a choice of several power settings or auto. You can hear the motor speed up on carpet or slow down dusting or bare floors.

Inside your drawers! All the attachments are there, the machine is very clean and even the stainless base plate and brush roll gleam

What's Your Number? The power nozzle has a choice of 6 settings. Great for bare floors or thick carpet.

Up yours! I am very tall and usually I am crouched by the time I finish chasing the vacuum. This handle extends to a full 5 feet, not counting the handle of the power nozzle connector.

In it's Polished Glory $39.99. I remember the year Consumer Reports gave Meile the highest rating. It was $1,100.
