Worst Miele product so far. It irritates me that I am enthusiastic about Miele vacuum cleaners in front of my friends. I saw bad reviews but had to buy it anyway because I couldn't believe it could be that bad and I like to spend money on cleaning products. On first use it broke in two places when I carefully brushed the walls. I laughed out loud, a mad laugh. Was the designer of this thing the idiot son of the company owner? I really can't figure out how this shit got into production. The idea is great and it's a much needed device, but the way it broke was like I was in a hidden camera show. Perfect joke. Don't buy this if you don't have duct tape and don't find humor in the absurd. Ps. I love Miele vacuum cleaners and will continue to buy them.
