Am I The Only One.....

NOT getting involved in anything, but..................

everyone is entitled to his/her opinions. THAT is WHY we convene in here: to share, trade, laugh, teach, etc. As you know, I'm all Hoover. However, I'd never bash another collector, vacuum company, etc. In the 13 years I'm in here, I've never done that. Check the archives. I'm not perfect, either. But, I feel we should always welcome input, and, young men, (17), have the same right to express in here.
There are lots of 'other' vacuums about which I know very little. I rely on the other members for correct info. Sometimes, it's crystal clear. Other times, it's false. So, I've learned: everything in here is not always "Gospel". As the reporter said, "If your mother says she loves you, check it out".
Let's carry on civilly.

I have a U1 Jazz upright and C3 Alize cannister... for the C3 I have nearly every powered and unpowered hose and attachment. My only repair issue was after a year my SEB236 electric power head had the mechanical height adjuster stop working and that was fixed under warranty.

Yes, I'm a Miele fan-boy, and really like how the vacuums perform in general but LOVE how the bags perform. I love that after years of use the bag compartment is spotless, it doesn't even need wiped out. Despite being small, the bag holds a lot.

But as a realist I will admit the U1 can be a bit unwieldy. It is relegated to use on a single floor where I have wall-to-wall carpet and it behaves admirably in that very defined situation. I will admit if I try to vacuum larger stiff pieces of debris they can clog the vacuum head inlet... has happened twice to me over a few years. Actually my wife was vacuuming to create the clog as I would know better not to try to vacuum such debris, but I discovered and cleaned things out. I also own a Sebo Felix and if I could have only 1 it would be the Felix, although I wish it had a headlight.

I'm not a huge fan of cannister vacs as I find pulling the cannister around a house with a lot of corners and tight spaces a bit of a burden, but for versatility of dust/debris pickup in any situation my C3 is truly outstanding. I really love how the hard floor parquet attachment performs.

All I know is vs. when I had a single Dyson DC14 for years to clean the same house my house seems and is a lot cleaner, I don't have sneezing fits after vacuuming, keeping my vacuums clean is not a disgusting chore and I now have versatile tools for all my dusting/vacuuming needs. I love the wonders of a Magic Eraser on my vacuums so they all look as good as the day I bought them.

I am not trained, but my coworker is. He couldn't figure out the issue either. We have the DVD and we couldn't find any information on this issue. None of the technicians at Miele knew what was going on either. I thought it was wiring but they said that wasn't the problem. I honestly don't know what happened or how the customer reacted. I was on vacation and my boss called to tell me that the machine was given back to the customer. Never heard anything after that and that happened around June 2019.
