I waste my money six month ago on a Hoover Tempo . it have be recommend by consumer report which I be now start to suspect of be highly bias towards certain brand ... since that Hoover Tempo be a piece of junk . I use it 20 time and the thing break and become completely un-usable . I do not even want to bother with the warranty . I be never go to consider Hoover for anything . I have fear before get it due to some mixed feedback include some that be poor -lrb- how can this be a cr recommend product ... -rrb- . it be in-expensive so that make I try it out . pure Garbage . I decide to check out Miele since my mother in-law have highly recommend it . I check product review and they be great -lrb- aside from the high price tag -rrb- . this product be actually design to last 15 year . I bet it will be the last vaccum I `` ll ever have to buy . this product be heavy , it be build solid . if you need to do a lot of cleaning in stair and you be not a strong person this may not be so appropriate . but for bare floor to carpet , this be unbelievable . I be so glad I get this . it also do not take I much time to clean up . it suck dirt so efficiently and quietly , it be amazing . filter may be expensive but who care , this make you house smell nice , very clean and quickly . get the cheaper blue model . who care about how it look ; it be in the closet most of the time . I be not go to be pose for GQ while I vaccum . I give my highest rating to this product .
