Mine would be the Thermax CP-3 commercial carpet steamer. With a 3 gallon stainless steel resivor and return tanks, and built in water heater. A very pricey several thousand dollar carpet cleaner, but well worth the money |

Hey Brian! Nice to hear you like it, the butterfly tool clips on the handgrip like most of the Luxes, but there's no place to store the crevice tool, so I store it on the box. |

Well that's a bummer! You'd think for the money you pay, they could at least have made a tiny slot somewhere on the vac to slide in a crevice tool! I mean it does not require design ingenuity to find a place to dig a slot for that slim little uncomplicated tool.
Love the machine, but that must be a little annoying, don't you think? :-) EPB |

$$$ no object?
Then I would like a Miele USA S 5481 Earth, please. Because, it's a TOL model, it has the electronic controls, electric hose and telescopic wand, comes with the SEB217-3 Powerbrush, it's a sexy shape and it's Blue...and we all know how important colour is to a vacuum's performance. I have also wanted the S 5281 Pisces from last year because it's also blue and it says PISCES, which I am one of, so that's a no-brainer. But I never got serious about it because of the price being asked for a BOL entry level Miele, it has no power hose or PN and uses the rotary dial. If and when I find a used PISCES I will not hesitate to snap it up. I'd also like a Miele S-7 upright but again, the same criteria would apply...TOL in a pleasing colour. Why not get one in Canada, you ask? The Canadian S-5 models have been reduced to only three versions, they have silly pretentious names (Contour/Momentum/Continuum) and they are all much less pretty, never mind no blue.

Jack - glad I was not the only one annoyed by Electrolux's tendency to offer on-board storage for only 2/3 of a 3-piece tool set! Just amazing! And the Oxygens here are using that same tool-holder under the hose handle - I can't believe they could not come up with a way to store that nifty yet slim uphostery nozzle! I remember asking a Sears salesperson about the inclusion of an upholstery nozzle for an Electrolux Oxygen Three, and she had to go way back into the warehouse to find the little thing for me!!!! :-)

I actually didn't find it affected ease of use in a negative way... the main irritation was having to carry the upholstery nozzle around separately! |

'Had they continued to produce the 2-in-1 "dusting brush with foldable wings", that would allow storage for a crevice tool and the 2-in-1 tool.' They did... except now it's 3-in-1! Dusting brush: |

I am not a big fan of these 3-in-1 tools - the crevice tool is just too short! How can I use that to reach far and deep between my kitchen stove (cooker) and the wall? Or far down between a car seat and gear shift console, or far down between deep sofa cushions? And what's more ridiculous is the new UltraOne actually has plenty of space for three separate tools right under the hood of the main unit. The 3in1 tool sits to one side of the storage compartment!
I agree with those that prefer tools on board on the main unit. The tool holder under the hose handle again makes it difficult to position the hose handle in varying angles to clean in nooks and crannies. I sometimes like to drop the hose down the gap behind a refrigerator just to suck up the dust bunnies and with the tools hanging on for dear life, I would never be sure if they would not catch on some part of the refrigerator!!!! This is where I think Miele has an advantage (forgetting the poor excuse for a dusting brush provided these days). They still give you 3 separate tools and a decent fabric nozzle with velcro thread grabbers. And even with the new S2 series, you can store all three close down to the main unit without having them get in the way up on the hose somewhere. No matter how weird these Electrolux tool storage challenges - I love that UltraOne, Jack!!!! Lucky you....could not be in the hands of a more deserving vac afficianado! Not sure why you guys did not get the full power nozzle we can get with the model here on this side of the pond. I am awaiting with bated breath our Consumer Reports review of this vac!!! :-) |
