after have go through a Oreck , a Hoover and a Dyson , I finally have a vacuum cleaner that have quality construction and control . I love the `` twist '' part , it make get into corner very easy . the hose be very easy to use -lrb- especially in comparison to the Dyson -rrb- . I be a little old lady with a very bad back . I have no problem use my Miele . it do a great job on get up pet hair and in this house a vacuum cleaner have to handle pet hair from two cat and two dog . I actually enjoy vacuum with my `` twist '' , my house have not be this clean in year . Revision I should have wait a while before write the review . the twist go through one bag perform well . it go downhill from there . I can not go over more than two square yard without a blockage . unstop this thing be ridiculous . there be three area where one can try , but it be virtually impossible to get a wire into the hole . trip to the repair shop be a inconvenience , but have to be do . I be very disappoint in this vacuum cleaner , wish I never buy it . 0
