Mine, does not look so nice and clean anymore!
Mine has white paint, scratch marks, new power head!
I love my miele vacuum
It has taken care of my floors with a german shepard, teenage child (who has tortured the vacuum and it still works- socks-drapes and all sucked up it!)
It has survived my mother dropping the nozzle into a bucket of water while she washed something else- power on of course!
One thing I know- a Miele can suck up an entire gallon of soapy water---- and be taken still dripping to the service department- dried out and runs again.
Yahooo-- and now the vacuum works for little chiWOWahs and corgie-pom crosses complete with a long haired black cat!
Did I say I covet Miele?
