Thank you everybody!


I totally appreciate the help and advice.  I went ahead and ordered the New Style 3D “U” bags for my beloved Miele Upright and the new White HEPA filter and both seem to fit perfectly.  I still have two of my original bags, but I put a 3D bag in and just put my hand over the hose inlet several times, making the bag full indicator slide over to orange, and the bag remained perfectly attached inside.  The material of the 3D Bags does feel different and slightly thinner on these genuine Miele bags versus my genuine bags bought years ago, but as long as I do Not see any dust inside my beautiful, spotless machine, when changing my first full 3D... I will be ok.  I don’t think there will be an issue now and I am hopeful.


The HEPA was not needing changed yet, as my 50 hour indicator light has a long while to go before the current (old style blue colored) HEPA filter needs replaced, but I fit the new genuine Miele HEPA (in the White Color) in and it fit perfectly! Thanks Mark!


I still would like to know if anyone knows or has seen the AutoEco Uprights still being sold brand new or if they were discontinued for the Dial Suction Control Models being sold now??  It’s been so many years since I bought mine (early 2012) that I’d forgotten I bought it from a Williams Sonoma catalog. I’d quit smoking cigarettes a year before and saved all that money (2 packs a day at $4 bucks a pack) I’d have been spending on them until a little over 3 months later I had saved up the $899 dollars to buy it. So even though I’d gotten rid of a lot of my vacuum collection in the past.. this one is special to me and I’ll never get rid of it.  To this day, I still have never touched another cigarette since 2011. My Miele is also a reminder as to how much money I’ve saved quitting.. wish I’d kept it up but I only saved for a year total.. which added up to almost $3,000 bucks!


Thanks again everyone, I appreciate you all and truly enjoy being a part of Vacuumland.org and our Vacuum family!  You guys are the greatest!
