I get it!


George - You are going to get a ton as you can see options from Members here.  I was in the same boat several years ago.  I wanted to to put in a central system.  I heard the good, the bad and the ugly.  I visited with a reputable store and took several systems for a spin.  I ultimately elected on a system and glad I did. I love central systems it fit how I clean and the house layout was perfect for it.  Then...


The Army moved me to Utah.  This house would never work with a central system.  Too many tight corners and to many expansive spaces to make it feasible.  I elected to get the New Rainbow and love it. 


I have allergies and the salt plains here make for lots and lots of dust. The Rainbow is a perfect fit for ME!  The system is all I could hope for and more.  Would I do a central again?  Yes, but not here.  Maybe at retirement I will.  For now the Rainbow is a good fit. 


Like you I am not a fan of the Miele.  The biggest issue is what I called "belly flopping" on plush carpet.  The wheels are so small it would glide across the room on the belly.  Leaving a nasty carpet mark and so I returned the machine the same day I got it. 


The advice to take a carpet sample to the store is a great one; I plan to remember that if I buy another machine.  Basically, go test drive them.  Play with them  and make the pro and cons list.  You have been provided with a good list of great machines so good luck to you!  The perfect machine for you is someplace, just got to find it!
