They do get gummy, I've only got old used ones rehabbed from eBay finds. The Capricorn definitely has a bit of tackiness to it, but not unbearable. The Gemini has a more basic handle without the controls in it. It must not have had the rubberized grip, it's not sticky at all. It had paint chipping here and there, but with new filters and a new bag it surprised the heck out of me with how well it sucked. The wands must be that long to reach up I'm guessing. I'm 6'2", 6'3" on a good day and there's at least 2-3 clicks length left when it's at a comfortable height for me.

Probably just a dusty connection. It would be worth the cost for a can of electrical contact cleaner to see if it would help. I have an older Miele Capricorn with the button controls on the handle and it would shut the vac off if the handle and wand were in just the right position. I took it apart, cleaned it up with the spray, made sure all the buttons were good and clean. It works like new, or what I imagine new would be, no issues whatsoever. I'm sure that's why this vacuum was being sold. It was a bit fiddly getting the handle back together but not terrible.

Wenn Du soviel Geld in die Hand nimmst: Miele CX - Serie; hat mein Schwager, ist gut. Wobei ich immer noch ein Freund von Beutelsaugern bin, die Beutel bringen einen preislich nicht um (und sind anders als Tintenpatronen nicht gechipt, günstige Drittanbieter also möglich) und sind sauberer. Du kannst die heutigen Staubsauger dennoch nicht mit denen von früher™ vergleichen - die Technik heute ist zwar effizienter, aber an die 2200W - Dinger kommt sie dennoch nicht ran. Quelle: haben einen neuen 890W Miele und einen älteren mit 2200W - der nuckelt wesentlich schneller mit der XL-Parkettdüse (übrigens sehr zu empfehlen) über den Boden.

Sebo got the x4 pet and x7 upright every part is user replaceable, they last years.. 6 litre dust bag we use them in domestic care homes. Henry a simple vaccum sturdy enough but not good on deep pile carpets, plus if u forecful the hose comes off if henry is stuck around the corner. Dyson crap plastic useless.. Miele had the older revolution 5000 series cylinder wat a hoover you can use a powered head and it acts like a upright plus u can get the car kit set to use.. Mine lasted 15 years the powered switch failed miele wanted £150 ... ouch wasnt worth repairing it

I prefer the mains driven cord Miele vacuum- my current s5999 is 20 years old 2000 watt

Say what you will about the V15 Detect, but I swear it picks up more than my corded Miele S550 does.

I've read enough posts here to know that a cordless vac will never complete with a corded unit. I've had my Miele Capricorn for years and love it, and we also have a Roborock robot that for whatever reason I really only use to vacuum and mop the kitchen daily. I've had a Dyson v6 around for years for quick clean ups, kitty litter spills etc but it's getting pretty worn. I've been tempted to grab a refurb Dyson v8/10 \~$200, but I know Dyson sucks (or doesn't suck to be more accurate...) What else should I be looking at for a cordless vac that preferably won't end up with my wifes long hair or cat hair wrapped around the roller constantly?

Miele. Have had our platinum since 1998, Capricorn since 2005, C1 since 2005, C1 since 2009, another Capricorn since 2013, and C3 since 2015. All still working beautifully, only issues were with the 2013 Capricorn, which has been to the repair shop multiple times - bad apple blended with an aggressive housekeeper. We would never consider purchasing anything but Miele. Because of our positive experience with the vacuum, we bought a Miele refrigerator and a Miele dishwasher in 2013 and both are still going strong with minor repairs along the way. Miele is well worth the investment.
