Expensive, but worth it. Reminds me of my Vintage 1950s Electrolux that I loved. The Miele vacuum worked so 
well on my little carpet that I believe 
it removed 15 years of dirt despite vacuuming it every single day. I’ve gone through 6 vacuums in that time. The Miele is a bit hard to push on carpet when at full power. It has a gentle touch with walls, books, ceramics and wood floors. Removes cat and dog hair nicely. The house 
feels cleaner. Hope it lasts as long as my little vacuum did.
