I own a Hoover vaccuum cleaner that be not do its job . when research for a new vaccuum I come across the review for the Miele . I have never hear of this brand . I decide to go ahead and order it . the quietness of the Miele be amazing in comparison to the Hoover . it also do not spit back dirt when you vacuum on a smooth floor . the dog hair in we carpet be go : - -rrb- we could really tell a difference in the quality of the vacuuming . it do take get use to the movability of the handle swivel . the Miele be definitely heavier than my old vaccuum . it feel like it will last much longer than previous vacuum . I have now have it for two month and have no desire to go back to any other vacuum cleaner . I truly believe that because of its efficency in remove all of the dirt , dust , and dog hair my allergy have be help !! thanks Miele for a amazing product . my husband have already ask if they have a steam carpet cleaner , if so we be buy it . LOL I also like the extra long cord . I can vaccuum my entire 1400 square foot house without change plug .
