Got a new Miracle Mate vacuum today-Wow--quite a machine.Has a very interesting powernozzle-gosh need a camera to take pictures of it.I has more power than a Melie Red Velvet and a Tri-Star-has the COOLEST metal body.And comes with the prettiest blue tools-even have the "sparklies" in them like the old "compact" tools-these are a deep blue color.Comes with two wands-both extendable ones-a corded one for the powerrnozzle and a non corded one for the bare floor tool-also a nice blue color.The machine uses a similar bag system as the Tri-Star-Compact,Vortech force,and "Patriot" machines-the vertical bag and horizontal motor.The big diffrence is the top of the MM bag seals when the vac lid is opened.Allergy suffrers won't get a faceful of dust when you open the lid to check the bag.The bag also has a small fold out handle to lift it from the machine when full.Will keep ya posted how it works-just got it today.Me and another fellow are going to try to sell them in this area.I have a link to their website-the powernozzle on the machine I have is diffrent then the one in their picture.It works really well-vibrates the sand out of my carpets well.Its a Miracle Mate "Platinum" model.
