Review on Miele Vacuum Cleaner SF HA30 MIE1003 by Andrea Gregoire

I have dogs and allergies (I know, I know) so I'm all HEPA. Dogs stay reasonably clean, but this filter seems to store and multiply the smell. So after about 2.5 months it's like inhaling dog hair. :( I like my Miele vacuum but it blows out the stinky dog smell after the filter is less than two months old. I've tried blowing the smell out with compressed air on the opposite side but no luck. So no I'm switching this filter every two months I would only give it two stars because that first two months of clean air is great but at $50 it's a terrible price I have however been able to find a true HEPA filter at Revain for half the price , So it's like getting 4 months out of a $50 filter. If it even lasts 6 months for $50 then it would be a 5 star product, like me from the place I got it Bought it was told the HEPA filter should last 6-12 months.
