Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 4333163, member: 93"] I'm generally a fan of German engineering and manufacturing. I loved my old BMWs and the Audi I used to own, but I don't know if they are still making them like that. We've had a German-made Miele vacuum for 22 years. Worked great with minimal maintenance and no issues, until our daughter "fell" on it and broke it a couple weeks ago. The guy at the vacuum store laughed when we asked about repairing it: "It's 22 years old!!! It doesn't owe you anything!!!" We ended up going with a different German-made canister vacuum from Sebo, which appears to be very comparable to the Miele (which they also sold), but had a few different features we preferred (and a better warranty). Seems pretty straightforward so far (although I don't do much of the vacuuming...). [/QUOTE]
