Please read and tell me where I recommend any purchase. Looks like a great deal on a German vacuum means exactly that. I never stated I own one, purchased one now or any statement of the kind.
Problem with this forum is people will attack anything others post without even reading. To some who live far from a Miele dealer, Miele may not be a good choice. Some people are happy purchasing a Walmart vacuum where bags are easy to find, fine with me.
This forum should be about sharing experiences, ideas and opinions without assumptions being made and have without people making liable statement about companies without any proof just because they do not like a post, brand or the member who wrote the post.
Now Ralph, please show me where I stated I recommend this vacuum other than stating it appeared to be a great deal. And asking others who owned one their opinions.
A good question is what about bags? They are all over the Internet including ebay for a very reasonable price. Sold under the Clarke Combivac name. Now if someone dose not purchase from the Internet or have access, this is not your vacuum. These are real discussin, not stating this might be made in China because I saw what looked like this. What proof does this member have? To post such statements is rediculus at best.
I did check out the Clarke name label of this vacuum this weekend. The vacuum is very powerful with a chevron brush, Hepa filter and three height settings. I would put it on par with a sebo G1 and for $300, brand new seems like a good deal. It actually one ups the Sebo by using a two motor system. You cannot turn off the motor unless you unplug the powerhead. By the looks of it it is more of a commercial look, some might love it, I like the looks of the ones Sebofan posted above.
Now attack some more because that's the way so many on this forum like to act. Then flag my post because it does not go lock step with your opinion.
