I purchased a very expensive vacuum from Miele in 2003 for close to $1200. expecting to have a dependable and relaible vacuum. Within the first month I began having problems with filters, nozzle and the suction was horrible. I have never been able to use it without clogging or build up in the power brush. I even had to have the engine motor replaced! I am sure this product is a lemon and should have been given a replacement from the start. I have no problems with the dealer i purchased it from and feel the corporation needs to step up.The company did nothing in the past..but now i have another part that needs to be replaced.Sadly, I've always had an electroluz for 25 = years..and never had this problem!!
