Static Electricity Question
Original Message   Mar 18, 2008 4:29 pm
I have a customer with a Miele Callisto. She's getting shocks in the handle. I can't get it to happen at the shop.

She has a Newfoundland with lots of shedding and I'm assuming that's what is causing the static.

Any ideas? Cures? Happen to you anytime?

Thanks
Lucky

I decided to try some Capture dry carpet cleaning powder to clean some
of my white carpet, which worked really well! When I was using my
Miele Capricorn to vacuum up the powder after the 30 minutes you leave
it sit, I felt a couple of static shocks from the underside of the
handle. There is a metal insert that is supposed to dissipate the
static buildup. When I felt the small static shock, the Miele turned
off, but I could turn it right back on. This happened about 4 times,
only when it was sucking up the initial large amounts of powder. I thought I would include this post I made to another one of my vacuum groups.
