Which? artcile - "Should you trust the new vacuum cleaner energy labels"?

And if you're getting a power head cylinder make sure it has a good warranty. Mieles C3 PN model is priced at £600 and only 2 year warranty! They won't sell over here!

They won't sell over here!

The Miele Revolution used to retail for around £250-£300, if Miele dropped the price a bit, I suspect they'd sell more.


 


I have noticed that nowhere seems to be stocking the powernozzle C3, so Miele could be making them to order hence the higher price.

 

[marcusprit]

I have seen them for £550 in Freenet. The reason they stopped the Miele revolution which I like a lot is because the didn't sell in numbers. Saw Mieles in Tesco today. Didn't realise they stocked them and Bosch

 

[turbo500]

The Revolution used to sell quite well. I've seen for more Revolution 500's than 5000's. One of the catalogues stocked them for a few years in the mid-late 90's. Possibly GUS. But they really marketed the powernozzle on it. They were still pricey though and after the S5 Revolution came out, the price went up even more. Your average customer couldn't justify the price difference between the Revolution and the Cat & Dog/Solution.


 


I'd absolutely love to get a powernozzle C3, but it's going to have to be something to save for. We're off on holiday for 2 weeks in October and that hasn't cost as much as one of those does!

 

[marcusprit]

I just don't see how they justify the price. I'd love to see what the mark up is. Plus you can't change the brushroll as far as i'm aware so what happens when it wears? And if you need repairs outside the warranty that's gonna cost a fortune too!
I'd go for the Sebo D4 premium or new E3 over Miele far better value.

I so need a holiday!!!! :-(

 

[turbo500]

Oh, absolutely agree - the Sebo is far better value. Only problem with the D4 is that it's huge. I mean, it really is a tank of a vacuum. The powerhead is big too. So if you're wanting a compact cleaner but with a powernozzle, you're screwed.


 


The K series with the powernozzle would be a good choice though. Or the E series when it arrives.


 


Tell me about it, I haven't been on holiday in years! Check out teletext holidays online, they had some really good value deals when I last looked.

[sensotronic]

I take it by "daddy" you mean your father as daddy has another connotation in certain circles

 

[turbo500]
