"No noticeable loss of suction in the 7 years I have had it."
"Ours is about 20 years old and all we do is give it a good clean once a year and it works great."
"I will die with my Miele. ... We've had it for 12+ years now, and only had to do a minor repair once, which I was able to do with help from youtube. ... Hands down, one of the best home purchases we've ever done."

"One thing that sold me on paying the extra $s for it was the sound level. ... Even at full suction it is much quieter than any other vacuum I've heard, other than a built-in. ... Friend had a Dyson stick model and that sounded like jet engine revving up for take-off in comparison."
"it ’s quiet enough that our dog wouldn’t bother with it. ... it’s good for children, pets, and maintaining a cleaner air environment."
"Just on the noise alone I hate using my parent's Dyson and use their Miele instead."

"I saw the prices they are charging now. That's wild! I agree they are super expensive now. ... I fully agree that spending over $1000 on a vacuum is crazy."

"dragging around a cleaner on little wheels"
"Setting up a cord and lugging around the Miele body always made vacuuming my least favorite chore."
"I'll be damned if I'm going to drag that thing up and down three floors regularly."

"The Miele is constantly shedding pieces of plastic around the fittings of the rod and the foot release for the floorhead/rod has already broken once, which required two out of town trips to an authorized repair center to get fixed (Miele won't just sent you parts)."
"The electric floorhead is a piece of shit where neither of the pedals work well (the upright release struggles to engage and the height adjust constantly glitches, skipping heights or landing in between heights)."
"price of replacement parts is a huge reason i recommend sebo vacuums. ... every time i have to look up a part for a miele vacuum i already know it ’s going to cost 3x-4x what it should."

"anything more than short carpet it won ’t hold a candle to a power head."
"Only if you have a few, small low pile rugs. The turbo head isn meant for carpeting."
"The Miele you have is not intended for carpet so don't go with that. ... Neither of those vacuums are going to perform well on carpet."

"My Miele has an infuriatingly short power cord, and my house is quite small"
"The power cord is a few feet shorter than the Dyson, enough to make covering the whole house from a single receptacle impossible (obviously a me-specific grievance)."
"The canister feels like it's constantly in the way, bumping into shit and being a persistent tripping hazard (this would be less of an issue if the hose was longer)."
