Reply to comment by slymomma in I have two low pile/almost no pile area rugs and hardwood floors. I’m tired of vacuum cleaners that just stop working after a couple years. I do have pets. Anyone have any experience with carpet sweepers? And can you recommend a bifl one? by 1212gatez

Have made the poor choice of buying multiple Dyson's... plastics are super brittle and was constantly buying replacement parts for both. My Miele has been dropped down the stairs and works great after 10 years.

Can I ask if you have the canister version? Or which type you bought? Started looking at these now and I can’t stop….

Had a canister version long ago. Kept it going for 6 or 7 years but it had a heavy amount of plastic and fiberglass repair epoxy on it by the end. Have a V6 cordless handheld now and it works well, but battery didn’t last a year and the plastic canister broke the first week. They just use a very brittle plastic compared to my Miele. Dyson is also constantly changing their over complicated designs while Miele has a tried and true simple clamshell that has been refined for generations.

My apologies. I meant which Miele do you have?

Canister S2121 Capri. It was one of the cheapest Miele’s 10 years ago when we got it. Looks identical to the current C1

Awesome. Actually exactly what I was looking for. I’d have to go with the lowest end due to their price. Wondered if that would be worth it. Thank you.
