Large bag capacity with excellent filtration. Seals by user upon removal so no dust leakage! Tools are onboard in the compartment above. (Tools like most these days are "average". But I don't think the average houseperson uses tools or attachments much anymore so they are not that important to the manufacturers.)

Miele vacuums really are excellent -- very quiet, powerful suction. The only thing I don't like are the fairly cheesy attachments. I just don't see why machines that cost this kind of money don't have super-deluxe attachments. | ||

So nice. And I like that they're fairly quiet as well. Champagne wishes and caviar dreams. | ||

Nice one Charlie
I`m sure you will enjoy using the Miele, on this side of the pond I`ve used them all and they are by far the best for suction, quietness, reliability & style... They are unique in offering a whole range of additional tools as well as the box standard ones that comes with it, the parquet soft floor tool is fab for getting rid of fine plaster dust on walls before decorating etc...the car clean & microset kits are an ideal "prezzies" and the extension hose I find a must have...thats the only gripe I have is that the hose is too short...but the wand is the only one I`ve ever used that i dont have to stoop down to use...

Attachments
I'm a Miele nut, and the only attachment I'm not too wild about is the dusting brush. I agree with Andy; my White Pearl full size included a larger, oval dusting brush. I don't like the smaller one. The deluxe hose handle is great for using the floor attachments but not as good for handheld attachments. However, the Champagne can use the deluxe straight suction hose, which is #05269601. It's more flexible than the electric hose, and the handle makes using small attachments a lot easier. Andy can sell that to you, and it's worth it. It's not expensive. That's the benefit of your model. I have the Blue Moon and Silver Moon, so I can't use that hose because the speed controls are on the hose handles. Also, you might like the Universal Dusting Brush. That's what I use on most flat surfaces. Anyway, enjoy that machine! Happy birthday! Patrick | ||

Many thanks from all the Birthday well wishers----just to clarify, the birthday was in January and it just took me a while to get these pictures on! The Miele was a purchase based on my company's profit sharing check. Patrick, Happy Birthday to you too, since I think yours was just days ago. RE: the dusting brush, I haved this wonderful adapter that allows me to put different sized hoses or attachments together. Using it, I can put Air-Way, Electroux or Tri-Star tools on the Miele making it very versatile. It also allows me to use a Rug Rat which is great for the stairs and bedding, (to get the cat hairs off the bedspread and shams. They love sleeping there.) The low noise level is one of the most striking things about it. Using the "auto" setting, I don't even think it runs at the 1200 watt level yet has more than adequate suction for vacuuming the carpet with that great power nozzle. I've only had it 4 days now and really like the vacuum. I was very resistant to buying a Miele but, it just goes to show you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. ANDY!!-- I will call you. I have not forgotten, just been kind of busy. Charlie | ||

Happy Birthday Charlie Happy Birthday. Glad you like your Miele. The Champagne is a great vacuum. I am very happy with mine. You can't beat the German engineering. It is very powerful and very quiet. Cheers to your birthday. John | ||

Miele Silver Moon Hey Charlie, I'm on my 2nd Miele. First was a red star, now I've got a Silver Moon. It's like the Champagne one, only a different color. LOVE IT. Much more power than any electrolux I've used. I like the fact that it's quiet, also. | ||

And here it is next to my Solaris Electro Plus. You might notice that the Acrylic only goes to 1100 Watts, and the Solaris EP goes all the way to 1200, its because the Solaris EP has the newer Vortex motor, and the Acrylic has the older style motor.

Yes The body of the Acrylic is made of acrylic plastic, which is clear so you can see inside of it. It was designed for showing in vac shops to let people see the sealed filtration, and motor and other parts they used. | ||

Mike, I have sent you an email so let the corresponding begin! You will find a wealth of knowledge on these forums about all kinds of vacuums either new or vintage. You will also find some of the nicest, generous and truly good folks here too. I found out about the VCCC in 2000 and have been very active and involved since. A group of people here are now my family, so welcome! Charlie | ||

Calling Andy Weter......................................
What is the best number to reach you: during the day not during the day and on weekends? BTW, your article on Air-Way in the last VDTA magazine, (April issue), was WONDERFUL!! I am so glad that someone is putting into print the history of Air-Way with the names of the crucial founders/developers. For Air-Way fans, make sure to get a copy of this and save it! Andy, maybe you could post a print of here with the proper permission from whomever is needed. There is going to come a time in the not too distant future that this information is no longer going to be available. Thanks again for a great story about a company that contributed immensely to the vacuum industry and was way ahead of it's time in many ways. | ||
