Full transparency, I've owned a Dyson V-10 Cylone -- comments further down.
I bought my first Miele in 2001 when I moved into my new home. My mother owned Eureka canisters, so that's how I was familiar with this model. Twenty-one years later, and the Miele that I bought for the exorbitant amount of $850 in 2001, is still working. Only time I've had the vacuum in the repair shop was for the cord windup. Otherwise, motor, suction, tools, are as good as new. Works perfectly.
I bought a Dyson V-10 in 2018 because I thought the stick vacuum would be easier to take up and down the stairs, and had read about its vaunted suction. But, with the Dyson, you need special screwdrivers to take it apart for cleaning and maintenance. The canister size, when full, would back up into the filter and stop the suction. Which meant you were constantly cleaning the machine, and I found myself using the Miele to clean the Dyson.
When the Dyson battery died, ordered a new one. Only to discover that the screwhead threads in the Dyson were completely obliterated, and I couldn't remove the battery. Decision time, vacuum repair or a 2nd Miele. No contest.
The Miele cannot be beat IMHO for suction. This 2022 version is different from my 2001 in these ways: more quiet, slightly longer connecting hose, the vacuum tubes are slightly heavier and the handle more ergonomic. The tools have remained the same and are great for cleaning the drier vent and screen and under the fridge. Easy to clean under furniture and appliances. The vacuum bags are deceiving because they hold a lot more dirt and dust than you think, far more than the Dyson ever did.
And w/2 German Shepherds -- it's all about hair, non-stop. Not to mention 2 Boston Terriers who make their own unique messes. Whether you have tile floors, carpeting, or wood, this is a great vacuum. The canister is not that heavy and easy to pull around. If clean is your thing, this is your vacuum.
