Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

First upright from Miele

29 February 2008 This summer, Miele will launch its first range of upright vacuum cleaners – the S7.  It will consist of about six models, all of which feature ultra large dust bags and  “a unique swivel body, which makes it easy to manoeuvre in even the trickiest  of room layouts”. According to the company,  the decision was made following  numerous requests from customers that wanted to buy Miele  but would only use  an upright model.

Hi Carmine,

Believe it or not, I'm more of a risk to my cords than my pets are.  LOL  I have a bad habit of running over my cords and the vacuum chews them up.

I know when I first started posting you recommended a central vac for my needs and I agree.  That will come in time, hopefully with our next home.  The cost of the Miele bags and regular maintenance will add up over time and you are correct, it may cost me more than the purchase price of the vacuum in the long run.  But for now I will deal with that cost.  For holidays I will request those gift cards you can use anywhere and put that towards the purchase of bags.  That should help some.  The S7 is a great vacuum and does a great job so even though I've had some issues with the cost of bags and then hose, etc. the vacuum still rocks.

Hi,

My Miele Tango is still doing swell however I checked online today to check out accessories and came away more than assured that the whole world is crazy. The new wide upholstery tool included as part of the attachment set for the upperline S7s in the UK are offered here as an option for 30 bucks. A newer, far better designed utility tool now sells for 40 bucks and the price for the mini-turbo nozzle remains at $75.00.

Don't take my word for it. Check it out yourself:

So who said we're in a recession?

Hi Venson:

Unbelievable!  Buy the vacuum for $900 and then part it out for $9000. 

WRT recession, not for MIELE buyers and sellers.  MIELE boasts shipping 1 MILLION vacuums from it's factory in Germany every year including last.  MIELE buyers are not affected by the global recession.  The whole world could implode financially, like it has, and MIELE will be selling its high end products for top dollar to an anxious buying world wide public chomping at the mouth to have them.  They have the magic name.

You're right Carmine. I've decide to be content with the upholstery tool that came with the cleaner. Come the day I have to plug it in to a lamp post, I won't miss the money.
