Hey just wanting a bit of a handhold as this is quite a big purchase for us. I've had pet Vax hoovers for the last decade or so and they only seem to last a few years before packing in, my current one still works but it's small and doesn't manage with the amount of hair our pets produce. My mother has a Meile cat and dog she started using them over 20 years ago and is only onto her second ever the first one still works but she decided to gift it to her sister about a decade ago and got a new one. Is this a typical experience with a Meile vacuum? It's more then id usually spend but I have the money for it right now and if it would be more effective and last well it's worth the money. Are they worth the cost?
