"It's become my DIY vacuum ... has fought it's way through a complete house remodel ... It's sucked up more rocks and saw dust then anyone could reasonably expect."
"I have 2 Miele's, one that I inherited (around 25 years old) and one that I purchased (around 15 years old)."
"I’ve had my Miele for 10+ years and I haven’t had to replace anything… ... I’m comparing my Miele to a ship of Theseus in terms of reliability, in the bifl sub."

"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."
"They are the quietest vacuums on the market with the highest suction, which is to say they still have incredible power at their lower, even quieter power levels."
"it ’s quiet enough that our dog wouldn’t bother with it. ... it’s good for children, pets, and maintaining a cleaner air environment."

"A Miele bag lasts us about 7months, packs super densely (about 10lbs), and the vacuum still retains like 80% power (at worst) when the bag is nearing full, 90%+. ... A Miele at 80% power is a good day for most other vacuums. ... By being bagged you don't need to ever do any cleaning or washing, just toss the bag every few months and swap the filter every year or few."
"Miele exhaust close to 0 particulate ... My 2000 dollar particle scanner begs to differ lol"
"I can't imagine having to change its bag after two or three homes! They'd have to be massive castles."

"Miele straight robs you blind with their cost on bags and filters."
"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 other head without the spinner is fucking ridiculously strong. ... I cannot vacuum a rug with it because it sucks so hard. ... I have to hold one side down with my foot and pull away and it's still hard haha."
"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"
"Setting up a cord and lugging around the Miele body always made vacuuming my least favorite chore."
"I only wish the cord was like 10ft longer."
