I spend a considerable amount on my Miele . however , it have be plague with breakage of the poorly design cheaply make plastic part . one of the tiny e lid hinge snap . it be very small , flimsy design , and do not belong on a machine at this elevated price point . the dealer state it be not cover under waranty . I have a problem with the electrical connection in the power wand as well . I be never buy Miele again . company like Miele have no business building product out of cheap fragile plastic . it show complete lack of integrity and disregard for the end user who get screw with expensive repair .
