Why do you love your vacuum cleaner?
There’s no denying the girls of mumsnet.com know their vacuum cleaners, and the thread entitled “Please tell me why you LOVE your vacuum cleaner” generating 87 responses in a matter of days shows just that!
HerHonesty is certainly enamoured with her vacuum “my Miele is fab and to be honest, have had it 6 years with no probs”, while ljhooray could not agree more. “Another vote for Miele Cat and Dog – amazing. Takes half the time because it’s so effective.”
Trellism meanwhile has problems with her cleaner but not her vacuum “I have a Miele Cat and Dog and bought an extra hard floor attachment. It is brilliant. If only I could persuade the cleaner to use the hard floor brush on the hard floor rather than the turbo brush on everything…” Well – we can’t have it all!
Unbreakable Miele washing machine doors
“What should I get? And where from? All I want is it to wash clothes, not chew them up, be reasonably energy efficient and last for ever” is the rallying cry from mark_sirett on volkszone.com – and his peers have been quick to offer up their opinions.
“I’ve got a Miele washing machine, they go on forever” suggests master_baiter, while Last Triumph is adamant that there’s only one option for him… “Miele. End of conversation. Price reflects quality.” Meanwhile 52ragtop passes on an anecdote about a 20 stone washing machine dealer who, “to emphasise how well made [Miele] were, opened the door of the display machine and then kneeling down on one knee he lent his hand on top of the open door and then pushed himself up!! The door did not buckle, bend or even move! Incredible really”

The Miele Cat and Dog is ‘fab’
Snowy747 is distraught with his current ‘turbo’ vacuum cleaner and has come to ukcampsite.co.uk asking for any suggestions – citing the fact that the “Miele cat and dog has come to [his] attention asking, anybody got one?”
Suns suggests “I’ve got the Miele Cat and Dog and it’s worth every penny. Two turbo heads large and small. Customer care is also excellent,” while **button** says “I have this one, or almost the same, and it’s great”. Kernow Camper has “the Miele cat and dog and it’s fab” and insists he “wouldn’t have any other make now.”

A Forum Round-up, Miele Style

Indeed, this is just what snowy747 has done over on the UK Campsite Forums in the quest for the ideal hoover for pet hairs.

Head over to have a look, and leave your own comments.
