Does anybody have any of these older Mieles?? Yes, I do Kyle. I'll take a picture and post it when I go to my showroom today.

Well.... The first customer didn't get a Miele. By her own admission, she wasn't going to live that much longer (she was well into her 80's) and she didn't want to spend a lot of money on a new vacuum. It took me all of two minutes to sell her a Fuller Brush 90T. There's an interesting story...

She DID trade it in.... I took the bottom plate off and discovered this after she left. It's in nice cosmetic shape, but my favorite machine is this U3305-030, traded in last month for a Miele Callisto. I like the colors on this one.

When I took the bottom plate off.... This is what I found....now what in the heck would make a belt do THIS?

A lady just came in with this Concept. She said it made a horrible noise, and she was ready for a new vacuum. I expected it to be a broken fan.

Clay... I just had one of my regular customers walk in about ten minutes ago. He has both the Aptitude upright and the Oxygen canister. The Oxygen is sitting in my repair room waiting for a new bag holder. The Aptitude was in here two weeks ago for a broken handle release lever. Today he...

I used to have an Innovation just like yours Tom, then I sold it on ebay 'cause I needed the cash. It's somewhere near Chicago now. How I regret selling that machine. It cleaned SO WELL, and was so much fun to use. You could turn the brushroll off to clean bare floors in an instant, and...

Derreck BIG Congratulations...my heart sunk when I visited you and you were without a Miele :-( However it all turned out for the best as I think that the Red Velvet is even more beautiful than the Capricorn!! As far as all around performance (deep cleaning, quietness, versatility, convenience...

I'll second that... The Sebo's are excellent machines. I've sold them commercially and residentially and my customers LOVE them. The Felix would be an ideal machine for you. It comes with an excellent bare floor tool and can be used as a portable canister for attachment cleaning. Tom G...

Yes.... I need to just order one actually. I've only tried it at the VDTA a couple of times. I loved the feel of it. The Felix brushroll has more bristles, though. It uses a brushroll like that of the X series uprights. The ET-C powerhead (which is L shaped like the Lux) uses a single...

Plus The Airway now has a quiet drive power nozzle. I'm thinking of bringing them into the store. However I REALLY REALLY wish they would put a decent handle across the top. Like the Sani-Clean. I had a Signature Series in my house for a few months, and I just stopped using it because every...

Also... Don't get too concerned about how the powerheads pull themselves across the carpet. It doesn't necessarily mean they clean better. The Sebo Felix head practically takes off across the room, but doesn't clean as well as the 236. I'll admit the heft of the 236 takes some getting used too...

I almost forgot The Miele car care kit is a must have. It includes the mini turbo brush, a huge crevice tool, a detailer hose, and a 10' straight suction hose. The 10' hose is a joy to use for dusting because it's just a small straight end that you're dealing with. The big, clunky electric hose...

Well I might be a little biased... But I've never seen a better canister than the Miele S5 series. The floor brush alone beats the heck out of the Sebo canister's floor brush. I have both machines in my store. Here are the reasons why I personally would choose the Miele over the Sebo 1.) The...

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Clay I hope you're coming to the mini-meet!

I haven't taken a Centec head apart up close and personal, so I wouldn't be able to say for sure whether the quality was better or not. I've tried the L shaped nozzle at the VDTA show, and I was really impressed with it. The one that I said doesn't clean as well is the Felix style head. The L...

Power Heads 101 Steven The main reason I would choose the Wessel Werk is because it is almost identical to the Miele 236 head, except it doesn't have the height adjustment. This may be where we differ in opinion. You sound like you're unsatisified with your 236, and I've yet to find a...

Power Nozzles Steven, I have the TurboCat on my system at home. I much prefer the electric, but I just never got around to replacing it. If I was going to get an electric powerhead for it today, I would probably go for either the Wessel-Werk EBK 340, or the Lindhaus head. I just got an...

Steven, I was getting ready to type a reply to you... But I just opened my mail here at the store, and I got a packet that says "The new Cyclo-Vac attachments have arrived" I'm a Cyclo-Vac dealer. I'm gonna do some investigating before I get back to you...

Steven I've never experienced the problem that you describe with a Kenmore power nozzle. In fact, I think the height adjustments are labeled XLow, Low, Med etc instead of a numerical numbering. BTW congrats on your Vacuflo. I have a 560 in my house and it's wonderful. A bit messy to empty...
