First off, no, I don’t want a Dyson…
I’ve had a Miele Cat & Dog vacuum for the last 12 years and it’s done a fantastic job. Carpets, curtains and a thousand loom bands, it’s sucked them all. Sadly it’s now started making grinding noises.
Luckily it can be fully disassembled with only a Torx T20 so i’ve had it apart and found that the motor is the cause. I can buy a new motor for £130 and fit it myself but then again a whole new Cat & Dog is only £199.
What to do, repair the old battered one or just buy a shiny new one?
A further consideration is my old Cat & Dog has a 2200W motor but the new versions make do with 1200W. Will I notice the difference?
And no, I don’t want a Dyson.
