So glad i saw this video. Ive just paid 15.00 off of a lady for exactly the same vacuum, as my henry blew up. This hoover has everything with it , attachments, spare dust filters etc & bags. Looks like new. Tried it last night & cleaned my carpets top nitch & I'm so impressed with the suction power on it. Going to keep this vacuum rather than splash out on a new one. Thanks for the video, throughly enjoyed watching it. I thought i had brought a monster piece of equipment but see its real class .

Double upload!! Thank you Roger, you make my day!

Fantastic vacuum! These are better built than the new ones. I have 80's S234i and few years old C3. S234i is certainty better made.

A very general point about mechanical noise. All electric motors and pumps produce a mix of grey noise with consistent spikes. Long term exposure will damage hearing by wearing out specific frequencies in your coclia. So please consider hearing protection. Also reduce or attenuate harsh noise in your video clips (I'm regularly dropping them to 20-30% in those sections) because some of it can damage viewers hearing over time.

The print advertisement in the United States read: The finest piece of German Engineering on three wheels.

Looks in beautiful condition

I bought one of these last week and it came today. Mine does not have an electro brush but does have the PTO socket, which I was pleased to find as I thought it was just blanked over in the Ebay pics.

Can we have like a battle of the oldies or something 🥺 I would love to watch them compete against each other for the grown of vintage queen

👁️💖 the old boxy style looking miele vacuum cleaners and i like this video too , and how about trying a kirby vacuum cleaner with the tech drive on you're new plush carpet Roger 🙂

Sounds butter smooth, shame it’s faded but you can see the high quality of build.

Great video Roger. I wonder how your Sebo Automatic upright will perform on your new plush carpet, and if the automatic height adjustment will be effective.

You should do another turning on your other mielle that exploded when you fix it if it worked, if you read this thank you Roger.

Looks very nice especially on your new carpet! I think you should try your Kirby ultimate g diamond edition on that new carpet!

I have an orange Miele S224 from the early 80's/ late 70's in mint / unused condition with all the original equipment that I want to sell :)

Such a nice machine! It sounds like the brush isn’t spinning very well does it have a stretch belt? I’m sure a new belt would breathe a whole new life into that nozzle

You should try to find a Rainbow D4 with an R2800 series (rectangular) power head with the top vent carpet selector, as it won't suck down to the carpet. The new SRX has re-incorporated that vent as well and so has the zero g hovering canister. It's a nice Miele, if you have the hose from the other one, keep both so one is for the power nozzle and the other is for the regular attachments. That's how Rexair configured the Rainbow vacuums up to before the blue/platinum series was with two hoses. The power nozzle on Rainbows had a long cord from the power head to the machine up to the D4, like your miele.

Hi When are you going to do a full review of the Shark IZ251UKT that you got at Christmas? Thanks for the reviews they are great and informative

I know they're spendy to import, but with your new carpet you might have to look into more American vacuums. I remember the 90s and early noughts Kenmore bagged canisters being quite satisfying.

hi there, not sure if you will see this but i bought a numatic George recently from eBay its in good used condition and worked perfect twice but i just finished doing my stairs and there were bubbles coming from the side vents! the bubbles were brown so im guessing it was dirty water. any ideas why this could have happened? i`m pretty sure i set up the machine properly the filter was securely fitted.

Was this the 224 on eBay recently roger? I bid on it but was outbid. If it is the one I’m glad it went to a good home.

Hi Roger I love your videos keep up the videos and hope you get back to me at some point and I’m getting a new industrial hoover for my garage because my old one packed I’ll send you a picture and I have got a green Henry and it’s a pet

For the yellowing put it in the Sun for several days UV will restore it's original color but it can take a while or try retrobright ;)

Sounds like a Henry between 2004-2014

Can you unbox an electrolux mondo ?

This made me think of a question for you. Do you keep the boxes for new machines (current models, not new old stock vintage machines) that you purchase? I rarely keep boxes for new machines that I open, but I will on occasion.

It looks like the Mela that when taxi bang

That was a Milla S226.

Something tells me that with your new carpeting you’ll be using your Sebo machines expressly

Dude contact the8bitguy get that junk retrobrited

Ist in silence
