At least you don't get home to open your new vac from Boscov's and find dirt in it.

What was the country of orgin and what kind of voltage does it use?

The boric acid kills them. When you blow it in the wall it covers any hiding in the wall with the stuff. Kills them pretty quick. Any new roaches walk through the stuff, it sticks to their feet and they carry it back to the nest that way thereby killing the rest of them. A lot of roaches come in...

You can also look at the power selector switch. If max power is 1100, it's the two stage motor, if the max power is 1200 then you have the single stage motor.

Defininitely a shop vac. Yuck. The best way to get rid of them is using Boric Acid powder. Here is how to do it. In each room, remove the cover plate from the electrical outlet. Don't unwire the outlet but just pull it out of the box in the wall. Drop 3-4 tablespoons of Boric Acid powder...

There are two threads currently running in this forum about the differences between the bags. Just look for "Miele Dust" in the thread titles.

Unfortunately, I threw out the last HyClean bag when the new AirClean bags from Miele arrived. But it looked exactly the same as the one you pictured here. Well, I think I'll just stick with the Miele AirClean bags. Thanks for the advice.

On the HyClean bags I had, that white area around the opening in the bag was a hardened type of plastic. On the AirClean bags that white area around the bag opening is a soft, rubbery material. It makes for a good seal around the tube coming in from the vac. I wonder why the AirClean bags...

Long, long time ago I asked members of this site about generic bags for my Miele, which ones they found to be the best. The answer? Always use Miele bags, period. Don't try to use generic bags. It appears that the original answer isn't valid anymore.....

The Miele GN bags have the rubber seal around them. The FJM HyClean bags have a plastic ring around the opening to the bag. They used to have a rubber seal on them up until this past spring. The FJM AirClean bags have the rubber seal. That's why I'm a little aggravated with Miele, in the...

I love that color, kind of like a pine green. How old is that vac?

Notice that in all the videos, Miele is using the AirClean bags rather than the HyClean bags?

How old are your cat & dog canisters? This dust problem only seems to effect the dog & cat canisters that are older than two years old.

I could not imagine somebody putting a Rainbow in a cupboard or closet without emptying the pan. After a few days it would stink up the house!

Yes, I used the Rainbow to vacuum out the dust of the Miele's bag area in the main part of the vac. I used the outside water hose to just clean the lid, which was removed from the machine before spraying with water. It is kind of weird to use a Rainbow to clean a Miele, I will admit! We've...

We vacuumed out mattresses and you can't get any finer dust than that in your vac. With the AirClean bags we still didn't have any dust inside our bag chamber. So it is a bag problem. To clean out the lid of our Miele with all those channels and nooks in it, I just took it off the vacuum went...

If it happened to you, someone who knows vacuum cleaners from an engineering viewpoint, that begs the question how many other people are having the same issue but haven't a clue whether they should be concerned or lodge a complaint? Exactly. I'm very vigilant about how my appliances work. I...

In case I couldn't find a resolution for my problem, I had a backup plan. What my plan was is to go to a hardware store and buy a wide rubber gasket and a large rubber O ring. Then install them on the little pipe that fits into the bag. This would make a seal that could prevent dust from...

I saw your problem immediately. You are using the Miele HyClean bags. You need to use the Miele AirClean bags. The AirClean bags don't do this. Now you'll have to clean the fan and motor housing to get it clean again. In the other thread I discussed my ordeal. Miele was more than nice and...
