I have some miele, not sure if the same model as you. And the best thing about it is that it has 12m cable. Way longer than my previous philips, I just plug it into wall in kitchen a vacuum whole floor in all rooms. Same with second level. So much nicer than having to move to a different wall socket 3 times per floor.
Mieles are FANTASTIC vacuums but work the BEST for hard floors! Im not sure they even have a powerhead option which is what you're going to want!
You want to consider what comes with an air spun carpet attachment vs powerhead vacuum attachments since you have so much carpet!
Powerhead will make your life a lot easier! Especially if there's a power pet/upholstery attachment for stairs etc.
Basically the difference between the two means the vacuum uses actual electrical power to spin the carpet tool instead of using airflow to spin it - which can be difficult on certain heights of carpet or if your machine and filter aren't super clean
Also- look for a bagged vacuum. I know these are becoming less popular but saves so much time on maintenance for your machine and will keep it working better longer!
Also battery vacuums can be handy for awkward corners and stuff but I will always choose a corded vs battery vacuum.
Anyone have or know of one that is made for soft wood floors? I have looked but have not found any with good reviews. Our new floors are maple and they say no brush only suction. We have a Miele vacuum made for soft wood floors that is great but is corded and a canister so I hate bringing it out.
I have read everything I can, this sub and elsewhere, and learned what I can but I need help with a specific issue.
First, I already have a 10-year old Miele 3c canister and it is great but very heavy and stiff, plus corded, so it's hard for me to use with my health issues -- therefore, I don't vacuum as often as I need to, which is bad for my lungs.
To supplement the Miele and to make it easier to get under things and see, I want a corded. lighted stick vacuum that meets these needs:
* adjusts to both hardwood and carpet floors
* specifically need one where I don't have to empty out the dust collector myself OR wash out filters
* has a light so I can see under beds etc
* NO "odor control" -- my pulmonologist (lung doc) said that those added scents are bad for lungs
* cordless isn't essential but is a strong preference
* ETA: should have stated that I need HEPA filtration, but I think most vacuums have that now??
I have very serious lung disease as well as asthma, so I must avoid breathing in what I vacuumed up. I could empty it in an outside trash can wearing an N95 mask, but I'd prefer a simpler method.
Also need to stay under $400 USD -- unemployed now so no way I could afford another Miele.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Yes, thanks! I see it there, read the customer reviews too, just wish I could test pushing it out before buying but...... Vacuumed with my canister Miele last night and now I *really* know I want an upright that is lighter weight! Hoping for a Black Friday price in a few weeks....I could afford it now but I really want to donate to the community food bank too.
