S6290 Silence

I just bought a Miele at the Goodwill for $2. Two dollars.

It does work. Yesterday I took it apart and scrubbed every nook and cranny. It looks nice. My mother gave me her C6 a few years ago so I’m familiar with their quality. It really is true about people and their vacuum snobbery. My mother bought her Miele from a Vacuum shop. She has her vacuum customized with longer power cords and longer hoses. The shop places their sticker on all of her machines. She has a vacuum repair man 😂. I call my hand me down C6 my Ferrari Vacuum.

Having now had both (our White Pearl Miele croaked when it got used during home renovation and got into a pile of unauthorized sheetrock dust), I will say the Sebo is lighter, leaves fewer marks on the walls (I got the Airbelt D1 and use it every day), and (I have been told) performs better in the event it too inadvertently encounters unauthorized sheetrock dust. Both are German-made, and both brands do come with nice warranties... better warranties than other vacuums on the market. Plus they can be repaired. A friend told me she was supposed to throw away her Dyson if it broke, because even if it could be repaired, the cost would likely exceed the value of the vacuum.

My Miele pearl is at least 15 years old, still a beast. I don't use it that much any more because I have a Roomba now and it cleans every day wonderfully and I only break out the canister occasionally now for corners and cobwebs and such.

Yep that's why I put "some of" I've only seen one Kirby and fuck dragging that about the house for the same suction as a 5kg Miele :)

I bought the cheapest bagged corded vacuum from Miele that could be found in 2010, it is still running perfectly. Now most of my appliances are Miele.

i would recommend the miele vacuums, which have HEPA FILTERS and a speed dial to control the suction force. they are around $700, depending on the model but even the basic ones are great. we have had some for 10 years of intense use and they are still working perfectly fine. considering their usefulness and life span, they are totally worth it

Miele S series bagged vacuums are one of the GOAT imo. Ours has lasted years and if you buy generic bags, upkeep is a minimum
