I was under the assumption that Miele make a majority of their parts in house, in Germany.

I was under the impression that Miele cleaners had been built there for some time, but I know not of why I thought that.
Fact is, building anything in China does not mean cheap rubbish. There seems to be a real misunderstanding in this world that all China can do is make rubbish. No. The quality of the end product will come down to what the organisation who commission it have specified. The Far East can compete on many aspects to bring a price down, but that doesn't mean it has to go any lower than is requested. When goods had a higher retail price and consumers were willing to spend more, it was possible to manufacture in Europe. Many times it is said this is no longer possible.

Everything made in China is NOT CRAP! At least when it comes to Royal Vacuums.

Although I did not make the video shown in Reply #8, I am the current owner of that machine and I can truly say that it is one powerful beast indeed!
Here area few more pictures of it so that you can see the remarkable workmanship that went into this Chinese product. FYI this a Royal Everlast 8300 which retails new in the U.S.A. for about $789.00

I know the S2/C1 range are made in China and assembled in Germany. Some of the dusting tools might be chinese made too, IIRC. But the higher end stuff is still all made in Germany.

The S4 series was made in China at one point though manufacture was transferred back to Germany. I had a Chinese built model but there was no difference to the German made S4 Ecoline I had, too.

I have a Miele S251i Plus, and it says it was made in China.

From my understanding...
All Miele vacuums are currently made in Germany except for the Miele S1 quickstep.

I have a Miele S2 and an S8...both say Made in Germany with no other qualifiers such as "of foreign and domestic parts."
