If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

Electrolux Twin Clean Bagless Canister
Original Message   Mar 31, 2010 5:55 pm
This is a curious product for sale at a leading wholesale club. The reviews seem to be very good.  The interesting thing is that it is bagless with a dual self cleaning filter system.   apparently, a dummy light comes on when it's time to switch from one filter to the other.  Anyone have any experience with this vacuum?  Is the self cleaning filter design good?

Well Carmine the fact the Miele D'Art has a small dust capacity means owners were usually changing them in less than a month. Regardless of the "bottom fitted," dust bag, for the price paid for a premium machine the D'Art wasn't successful. It clogged too often, had a great foot pedal activated cord rewind however and the ability to have its handle turned into a suction tube. NOT the most ideal vacuum for elderly people who may find grasping and bending over difficult. The whole idea of the Miele D'Art was offering customers something different in an upright design. Not a standard vacuum cleaner by any means not only judged by its various body finishes, colours or spec. That the design clogged on the very basis of its function however must be questioned. You really don't like the idea of bagless do you? Bagless mini vacuums aren't that bad - its what the owner's expectations have of them that often go against their "natural," function.

If you were to offer me a free Dyson upright and a free Oreck or even a free D'Art, I'd take the Dyson!



I was referring to the Electrolux Intensity in my post not the Miele Art series.  I was never impressed with the Miele Art.  My feeling is that Miele was capitalizing on a market of baby boomers in the early 2000's who had more money than sense.  These were the target market buyers of these lightweight uprights for small living quarters [recall the artzy fartzy designs and colors].  When the tech sector went bust in the USA, and the baby boomers found themselves with 1/10 of the wealth they had once amassed, the Art series died.  Along with the teckies who never recovered their money status either.  Soon to follow was the home market.  Once an American dream, the truth of the bust of 2008 in the USA is that home ownership is no longer an American dream and status symbol of working Americans.  Most Americans from now out will be renters not buyers.  Not a bad thing.  THis was the norm in the US prior to WW11.

PS:  Sadly, some veteran posters and readers here may recall I predicted this would come to pass, [economy tsunami], on the weekend of MLK holiday in 2008 when Ben boy Bernanke pulled several all nighters to keep the US markets from tumbling after a weekend of market collapses overseas.  Our Forum censors locked the thread.  Said it had nothing to do with vacuums.  Don't take my word.  The unabridged version of the thread is still here.  Have a look if you time.  Interesting reading for those inclined IMHO.

Apologies there!

Actually its in the U.S that the Miele D'Art is still available amongst few countries where it is still popular. I don't find it a bad idea particularly when it copied a rare and small company called Princess, who in the 1980's sold catalogue only electric mains powered sweepers. The difference is that Miele made the mistake of producing suction only floor heads and poor motor power coupled with a clogging design. My grandmother had two of the electric sweepers and they were brilliant and yet simple in their design; a motor driven brush roll depositing light dust into a cloth bag that could be emptied, washed completely or damp cloth washable and then just replaced back into the machine. To activate it, you had to stand on a plastic pedal that pushed down on a coil within the base of the handle. My grandmother used her walking stick to get it going but she could successfully lift it up on a table (only weighed around 2kg) to open the hood when getting to the bag. I wish I could find a picture on the internet to show you this sweeper, I believe in the UK it would certainly still make an impact on sales following the poor reliability of battery cordless types.
