Can You Imagine??? Reggie: Can you imagine a customer who bought a Red Velvet, Carpricorn, etc. opening up their electronic hose handle and using a straight pin to 'jump' the circuit board so the power head would run? I can't begin to imagine a Miele having problems with the electronics in the...

Hoover Counter-Balance bars I asked almost the same question about the vertical bars on the Hoover 700 agitator. I was told that, since there was only the one, small belt guard on the soleplate of the nozzle, the counter-balance bars (as they were called by the person who told me this) were...

TriAc board Just like on an Electrolux Renny, Guardian, etc., there is a TriAC board in the hose handle that communicates with the circuit board in the machine. The "new" machine's circuit board has been fried, just like the 'used' machine. I'm just waiting for the day someone tries to do that...

??? So...Which Miele did you sell the lady with the wrap-around belt? I can't begin to imagine how much dirt she will get out of her house with her new Miele! And so quietly too.

DC21 Our Dyson representative who comes into our store told us that the DC21 is the new canister with electric power nozzle and that they will preview it at the VDTA show in February in Las Vegas. Together with the new 'slim' for the United States (a slim, rather light weight upright). Anyone...

Beauty, Poise, and Grace What a lovely vacuum cleaner. I LOVE MIELE's. They are so graceful and elegant, as only a German vacuum cleaner can be. The fit and finish of the Miele machines are second to none. I feel that the German craftsmen who made your Miele put a lot of effort into making the...

Rainbow PoliChamp This is an attachment called the Rainbow Polichamp. I had one on our old model D Rexair. They work very well, but the gear eventually stripped on ours when I tried to use it on the rug to scrub in Capture carpet cleaning granules. It was meant for floors only, not rugs. I did...

Filteraire bags are lined with melt-blown polypropelene, which is an electrostatic filter material. This 'coating' keeps the dust from escaping through the pores of the bag, but the bag tends to clog a little faster than standard non-lined bags. Filtrete bags are cloth-like. They filter very...

Miele 163 You should look at the Miele.com website and check out the Miele model 163. It's quiet, powerful, and has very good filtration. I love mine.
