Miele had packed-up after years.

Gotta replace - any suggestions ?

Looking for sturdy / good suction / cylinder rather than upright.

any tips appreciated.

Thanks KK


ps - also, does the Wattage rating necessarily always directly reflect suction power ?

 

Have you contacted Miele to see if it could be repaired?


I've got an old Miele cylinder vacuum in the loft which I'm keeping for building work use. It served me very well for years, but I have to say I much prefer my cordless Dyson upright.

Hi KK, I swear by Sebo, also German made but not known as well by the public in the UK, have had the same machine for probably 30 years and it works just as well today as it did on day one. all I have to buy are bags and filters and it keeps on running. They also make cylinder vacuum cleaners. They are not the cheapest but would not buy any other make.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
