I'm a retired Naval officer and the Miele dealer I like is a retired Army officer. He's the one pushing Miele, lol. I want the best for the buck. The US companies need to understand that most Americans will guy US made or a product that has mostly US parts IF it's the best or tied. I have a feeling I will end up with the Moxie, sans warranty for 225 plus shipping. I've been emailing this morning with the seller. seems nice, but it's also the net. He has a ton of companies he sells, but isn't authorized, so it's on me if it breaks. I hope I lose the auction as the warranty means a lot to me, but we will see.
I need to see the prices of the Moxie, Gusto, Callisto and Capricorn. I like the Miele PN units above the 228. I need to really try the Moxie again to see what I think. They all push the units they want to move, so I may look for another vendor locally for the Simplicity. The Riccar dealer doesn't stock their canisters for some reason so I would't be able to go that route locally I don't think as I have to try before using. Sounds like I can't go wrong with any choices.
Are the Miele's really that much stronger than the Moxie? One poster above seemed to think they aren't as strong. I've spoken to someone who has recently had both units and he said that both are good.
