vrooom hum...


that's the sound of our new Miele.
Our place is going to be so clean all the time because CB is going to vacuum everyday!

I remember the first time I learned of a Miele canister vacuum 8 years ago. My sister B came home giggly with her $1000+ vacuum that looked like a mouse (computer). What ridiculousness to have purchased something so expensive! My other sister and I stood back and watched as she demonstrated the ease of this mouse looking canister with a left click on the mouse to power on and a right click to retract the power cord. Then the ease of lugging the light weight machine up and down the stairs. Oh how happy she was as we watched her vacuum and chatted. The little mouse hummed so quietly as C and I laughed so hard. "Great, YOU can vacuum all the time"

After getting fed up with the pain of dumping water out of our Rainbow CB and I finally bought a Miele as well. Opting for something more affordable we first purchased a Simplicity Cinch vacuum which is sitting in the living room right now, still in its' box. that same day CB found the Miele Calisto for pretty much the same price. We're both happy, this new puppy better not let us down. I expect it to last 20+ years, like my car.

Uh, don't most compact vacuums operate like this? The Hitachi we have is like that ... and I think it's $200. :-D

That's not true! your Hitachi does NOT operate like my Miele. That's like saying all cars drive the same. >:( Go and try a Miele.. I know you're tempted to check'em out now.
