Blimey - That shows how much more expensive Mieles are in the US than over here- the link is to our TOL model with the large electric powerhead. The retail on this is approx £349 ($645!!!!!!) Seamus CLICK HERE TO GO TO seamusuk's LINK |

Oooh, that's a pretty color! I loved my Miele but traded it to a friend - what a short-end-of-the-stick deal that turned out to be. The only reason the prices are so high are the taxes on imports and Miele positioning itself as niche-market brand. It's insane what the price of a Miele is, made in Germany and shipped to the U.S. when compared with the price of a Bissell made in China. Comparing apples to oranges, I grant you, but plastic is after all, plastic ;-) |

Very nice looking machine Skip! I like the colour too. The Capricorn is silver. Have you given it a good workout? How loud is the power nozzle compared to the machine itself? Do you do a lot of above the floor cleaning with the dusting brush, crevice tool, ulphostery nozzle? Do you find the hose handle easy to manage? lightweight? That's one grip I really have with my Lux 9000 - I get a sore wrist/arm after using the above floor tools for any length of time. I'm really anxious to get the Capricorn now. Gary |

Skip, congratulations! VERY stylish machine in my opinion, and I love the "vintage" turquoise color! |

Congrats on your new machine! It is very nice looking and my local vac shop says wonderful things about the new machines. I was wondering if you have tried any of the Miele canisters prior to the S5 line? I have the Red Velvet and the swivel hose connection on the canister is just awful, it makes it rather difficult to steer the machine around. Do you find the machine easy to steer now that the canister end of the hose does not swivel? Happy Vacuuming! -Steven |
