While Kirby stuck to selling by way of in-home demonstration only, Miele took its units to the dealers and allowed people to learn of their quality, durability and performance, knowing that once they tried them, they would be reluctant to give them up.
With a price range of $650 and up, people who buy a Miele vacuum cleaner expect it to be exceptional and with no exceptions noted on reviews, it has succeeded. While the unit’s cost as well as the cost of filters may be high, the return on the investment is exceptional. Unsolicited reviews claim it is simple to use and requires very few repairs even after 20 years of residential use. Many found out about their quality while in Europe and then sought out licensed dealers in the United States to continue owning a top of the line appliance.
The power brush attachment has a separate motor to power pickup at the end of the hose and it is easily changeable for normal, upright vacuum use. Along with the power head, the Miele name for quality is unsurpassed in many manufacturing circles.
To learn about this vacuum cleaner line, you will have to visit an authorized Miele retailer or someone you know who has one, but in either case the recommendation from reviews of users will most likely be positive.
