|Expensive, and worth it. . . .,
* I have owned previous “true HEPA” vacuum cleaners but noticed a critical difference with this unit: My allergies went away. Totally.
* Perfect, 0 ppm, lab-grade filtration.
* Superb materials, build quality, and fit-n-finish.
* Velvet bumper protects woodwork and furniture, while the swivel wheels prevent contact in the first place.
* Rigid, positive locking, stainless steel wand.
* Paced, one-touch cord retract mechanism is superior to any I have ever experienced.
* Light base unit encourages me to just carry it when doing stairs.
* Unusually quiet electric carpet head.
* Perfectly flat profile allows cleaning under almost any furniture, no matter how close to the floor.
* Handle-mounted controls.
* Very light, uncrushable hose with swivels on both ends.
* Classy, real metal satin-finished trim on the base unit.
* Attachments, wand, and hose are oversized (although this is hard to perceive). The result is exceptional, 94 CFM airflow. This rivals, even exceeds, the cleaning power of commercial back-pack vacuums.
* Unusually long 5-year warranty. Absolutely no problems experienced, and none expected.
Cons
* Overpriced by $300 for what you get.
* Handle controls can be accidentally brushed, shutting off the unit, because they aren’t recessed.
* Attachments are expensive.
* LEDs on the base unit are silly, unnecessary, and a poor excuse for the inflated price.
Suggestions
* Recess handle-mounted controls to avoid accidental button-pressing.
* Add slots on the bottom that mate to an optional backpack platform so the base unit can be worn. Given its small size, lightness, and quietness, this is a natural application. A terrific value-added feature, and easy for Miele to implement.
Summary Appraisal
* Miele offers a unit with a less-sophisticated carpet head, no hand-mounted controls, and manual speed control selectable on the base unit for about $1000. Same fundamental mechanicals and better value.
* Uniq is great for people like me who value luxury appliances.
* The high (perhaps excessive) initial price will be forgotten over time as the perfect filtration and exceptional user experience become welcome habits.
