You're very lucky. Most households have and can only afford one vacuum and rely on it for all related tasks. Miele loses points by way of its pricing in general and there'll never be a way that it will convince me that the cost of manufacture and shipping of bags from wherever they're made amounts any where near the $19.00 and change (before sales tax) that's being asked here. I seldom spend that much on a shirt. But that's the way of the world I guess. Can you believe that smokers here in New York now actually pay $7.00 to $10.00 per pack for cigarettes? You'd think they'd quit but they don't. They may groan a bit about it but in the end they meet the price and keep puffing. I can't say that the increasing cost of an addiction makes a good comparison but I assume Miele expects somewhat the same result once its hooked a sale. "You went out and bought the thing so what are you gonna do?" The only way that will change is when and if other manufacturers start offering better deals. Venson Ah but you guys have somethings tougher and easier than we UK citizens! You have different levels of payable healthcare - we dont - we have a free service that is nothing next to hopeless and then private care that is similar to your Blue cross system. We don't have our credit cards linked to our drivers licenses. As for cigarettes, a 20 pack here costs on average the same as $10. Your car prices and household appliance costs are usually cheaper too! UK consumers have only just got into buying two vacuums. Ironically, it seems to be a trait by DYSON OWNERS who have been let down. Or more to the point, they can't be ars** to wash the filter to de-clog the pipes when it all goes wrong. In Miele's advertising UK brochures (before they went from paper to online pdf. formats) the wording for the "The Alternative," stick vac model (S140 - S160) carried the marketing line "suitable as a second cleaner for the home," which often provoked the thoughts of UK buyers.

Danke schone Vacmanuk, would like to know more. Curious too if the new Bosch canister has an auto cord winder. Carmine D. The Bosch canister does have an auto cord winder - similar to SEBO"s K range - pull the cord once you're finished and it rewinds back in. However, all I'm going to say is that it looks better than it goes. Review soon!
