Tina -

My mother owns a Miele canister vacuum and purchased me one several years ago. I do not own the Miele Capricorn, but can tell you we have never had a problem with either vacuum and they clean like mad. I was searching or a second vacuum for our cottage and came upon this blog. I am considring buying the Miele Capricorn canister vacuum for our home and take my older Miele to the cottage. They are very quiet and have extreme suction. They are well worth the money and sure to last a long time.

My father actually has a very, very old "bellow" vacuum stuck away in his shed. It was used by his father who had a store back east in the early 1900's. Wonder if it is worth anything? Can anyone tell me. However, this is not why I am writing, I am interested in the Miele Capricorn Canister vacuum. I hear many good things about Miele vacs and wonder if someone can give me any first hand experience or tips with the canister vacuums they offer. My home is mostly barber carpet with some linoleum surfaces that I normally sweep with a broom and mop. I want a strong suction unit with a power head. I enjoy using canisters more than the traditional upright vacuums. The head of a canister is lighter and easier to move around. Your remarks in the vacuum history blog I found quite useful. I guess that 12 amps do not mean a lot if the vacuum suction doesn't have a strong rating. This is good to know and something I will look for when shopping. Thanks for the great blog.

Found your site on a google link. Was looking or a new vacuum at home and thought it would be interesting to read vacuum history. Kinda funny, as I was looking or a Dyson animal and saw a few marks about the Dyson. It seems they really have made history. Thanks for the great information
