I finally got my Miele about a month ago, got a pretty much unused (still had the original bag in with only a few spoonfuls of dirt in it) U1 Maverick upright (guessing either store display or return) for a cool $50 rather than $450+, and I've been loving it until yesterday. We have 2 cats and a small dog, so I vacuum pretty thoroughly either every day or every other day. Yesterday I was vacuuming and had finished most of the house, had just started in the laundry room when it started vibrating and making quite a bit of noise. The noise was coming from the brushroll area, if I switched off the brushroll the noise was gone. I opened it up this afternoon fearing the worst (teeth broken off the belt or pulleys) and found everything intact. I was vacuuming thick carpet when the noise started so it wouldn't have been a surprise. What I did find, was a single granule of cat litter embedded between two of the teeth on the brushroll. Yay! Picked it out with a fingernail, put everything back together and all was well. Quiet and smooth again, same great cleaning power as always! Love this machine!
