They seem obsessed with the air driven turbine head aswell.
many customers come in and buy a dyson dc25 as they want a proper pn not air driven and miele uprights are to bulky.Dyson cylinders here also come wiht the stupid air driven unit
They have also dropped in price but the bags and spares have gone up dramatically.
They dropped the price of the S7260 by the equivilant of $ 350.00
I do like thier silence and they are still well made although they don't have a miele made motor any more.Like just about every one else they out source it.
I think its made my domel.
