Refurbished Miele?

Well its a new one on me. That would explain why in the last two years they are listing every kind of spare part going including springs, castor wheels and spare bin lids for the tools. 


 


Once you get that Miele up and running, you could sell it to Hi-Lo.
 
Realised today that I had 3 Miele's in my collection, so had a quick photoshoot

Hi-Lo, some weights for you.

First, my Sensotronic System 2, which I consider heavy!

S512 above, which is the lightest (S4241 and S5210 both have over half full bags, and the S512 a brand new empty one but doubt that'll make much odds.)

Put mums tools on the S512 and ran it around. Even on 300w it was still quite powerful, could hear airflow from the brush. On full power it was almost un moveable!



turned it down to 700w again and did downstairs, and it's fully excellent once again! Just need to wait for stuff to turn up now, and buy the last few bits.

20 years, dunno about that! This one lasted probably 12-14 years, and whilst it wasnt dead, it wouldnt have been long. Abuse definatly does come into it though.
 
I haven't got space to keep it sadly, and as good as it is it doesn't do anything for me like a late 80s machine would.

At the moment money is more important, a sentiment shared I imagine by many here. One day maybe, but for now I'm enjoying these little projects and hoping to benefit from them!
