It cost me $300 and came highly recommended at the store I bought it from! They've obviously never used it. My $75 Hoover worked until it died. This one doesn't do the job at all. It doesn't work at all on uncarpeted floor, it comes with a couple of attachments that don't really do the job, but can be used for some quick uncarpeted floor pick-ups. On carpet where it should shine it is just mediocre, since it doesn't flatten as low as most cheapie vacuum cleaners it doesn't really do more than a couple of inches under the bed and tables. Salesman's solution, move the bed/table etc???? No, I'll use a Hoover or a Eureka. Also the motor is incredibly powerful, that should be great, but the awkward power cord gets in the way, and the 1st time you ride over it, the Miele will chew through the cord. To use without attachments you need to plug the hose into the base, and to use with attachments you need to detach that, attach the vacuum cleaner and turn the roller brush off... not sure why all these steps are needed. I'm very dissatisfied and urge anyone else who is upset to contact Miele as I will be doing! AND I won't be frequenting the shop that sold it to me again as they wouldn't listen to any of my issues.
