I found a Miele
at the thrift store. It is a model S251i Plus. Only paid $25 for it, but it came with a power nozzle, bare floor tool, and upholstery and crevice tools. It was filthy inside because the original owner used cheap generic bags and obviously one broke. Took it all apart and cleaned it, and then bought some genuine bags with new filters and installed them. It runs like a dream. Never thought I'd get one so cheap. The S251i came in two variations. One was red and called the Flamenco II, and the other was blue and called the Plus. Don't really know if there are any other differences between the two, other than color. Anyone know how much this model sold for when new?
