Hey Evan,
I got that Miele from Tom while I visited his vac store for a few days. I ALMOST bought a school bus yellow Solaris that was NOS and purchased a power nozzle, etc. separately, but in the end, the Aquarius ended up being a better choice for me. I like that the turquoise color is sort of retro and matches my Electrolux Model G nicely!
P.S. Yes, I love the bare floor tool. One of the bathrooms in my house is very small and I can just manuever that thing right around the sink, toilet, etc. with no problems. I LOVE IT!
