    Miele DOA

    Patient BY Update I have been in and out of the hospital in Missouri and Washington. I finally have my car back and I'm getting out patient infusions, so................I was able to get the White Pearl to my favorite vac shop. As you predicted the cord winder was the issue. I'll get a new...

    The Only Thing Left Having a terminal illness I have been giving away instead of collecting. I recently posted and shipped lots of items on AWorg. It changes everything when you pull up to a thrift store and your heart starts to pound in anticipation before you realize there's nothing you...

    Miele DOA

    Little Pigs, Little Pigs, Let Me In I sold Electrolux in the 1205 and Golden Jubilee days, having no issues with a tear down. I have worked on lots of store brands but never a Miele. I couldn't find an intuitive way inside the housing. I am taking the vacuum to a repair service in Seattle...

    Miele DOA

    I have a Miele White Pearl I have used for about 15 years or so. I loaned it to a family member for a while and when they were moving she was going to throw it away.

    Miele White Pearl

    Your Input Has anyone had a negative experience with the latest incarnation of Miele canister vacuums and direct connect technology to power the carpet nozzle? I'll be in the city tomorrow and can pick one up.

    Miele White Pearl

    I bought a new direct connect hose and power nozzle for a Miele White Pearl. I need to get a direct connect wand to complete the function. The wand is $115.00 and complaints abound on the net of failure of electrical connections and clogging on the wire which runs through the inside of the...

    Vintage Vacuum Parts

    Great Resource Once an item is found and shipped from eBay the price can easily exceed what you have in inventory. I would feel quite secure in using your store to keep my machines going. The model G you have for sale seems like an excellent value. Good luck and thank you for the service you...

    Tan Electrolux Model G

    Up and At'm Junior Nice machine, good shape, has one broken rear wheel replaced with a newer tan wheel. Machine is not packed so exact weight and dimension for shipping isn't possible. Its free, cost of shipping, actual, is what I'll charge. Based on cleaners I've shipped last year I'd...

    Tan Electrolux Model G

    I have a tan G with vinyl electric hose, power nozzle, wands, floor tool, dusting brush and crevice tool. Cosmetically its good, mechanically smooth and quiet although it smells of ozone when first powered on. Its only used occasionally. It has one broken rear wheel. The power nozzle is a...

    Miele White Pearl

    I have a Miele White Pearl model S444i and I need a new electric hose. I would prefer one without the gas pump handle, opting for the original pistol grip. I asked once if anyone had one to sell and received no response. If no one is a dealer or interested I'll pick one up tomorrow at the...
