NO!! I'm not starting a vacuum collection!!

I made some pictures of my Miele vacuum. It's a bit more than ten years old I think. It was heavily used during the last move, so there are some scratches here and there. It's a Miele Silverstar which is the same as the Miele S240 but in the special silver color. It has an Automatic setting on the electronic control, it regulates itself while vacuuming.

I have several floortools with it. On the vacuum itself is the parquet brush. On the left the regular floor tool and on the right the turbo brush. I bought that turbo brush long before I got the Miele, I used it on my previous vacuum which was a Bosch.

I like that Miele!

The prices in general..not so much. But then again, I paid a lot for my Electolux (USA) vacuum.

Luxes and Miele

I've had Electrolux since day one and love them, but I test drove a Miele Silver Moon two years ago and had my mid-life crisis early. I would never be without one now.

Mid-life crisis?

U R 5 years younger than I am Mister!

I am not yet in mid-life. I REFUSE !

I noticed Miele vacuums indeed are horribly expensive in the US. I don't think I would pay such an amount of money for it.

IL FOLLETTO!!!

Louis, I can't believe it!!!!

I know very well your vacuum, here is the most sold vacuum, although it's not the cheapest, but peple appreciate it for its efficiency and for its high quality.

We have one, but it's a next model one (VK 121, 1990), complete of all accessories, and the accessories' bag too!!!

In Italy when you want to call it you have to say: "E tu, ce l'hai il FOLLETTO!" People soon understand you are speakng of Vorwerk vacuums...

Good Bye...

PS: Didn't Vorwerk produce also a sor of "kitchen-robot"? I remember of one called BIMBI...in which you can also cook your meals...
