Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Well, we don't have them in the UK. Last time was around 1990 and I bought one a couple of years ago. Miele named it "The Alternative" and carries model number 142. As such its a basic model and the UK ones only have a fixed height single tube with a slide in lock handle at the top. My mum uses it solely for hard floor pick up using an additional Miele parquet brush tool. There used to be a long flexible hose attachment for it turning it into a canister possibility, but I don't really see how it would work with the exhaust filter at the back - it would probably keep floors very hot if the stick vac was made to lay flat for a long period of time. $750 is a lot of money! They only cost about £140 /$225.15 when they were sold in the UK.

The 750.00 was an approximate price for the deluxe model which will accept an electric power nozzle, along with said power nozzle (the bigger one which will stand up by itself) and a turbo hand tool, and a hose/wand kit. and a parquet nozzle. Just the vac itself is 379.00
