Miele - promotions?

I am looking to buy a Miele vacuum and it seems they just "renewed" their 5yr warranty promotion. I know my mom got one during a 10yr promotion. Anyone know how often they run this or any other sorts of promotions I could get when buying a vacuum?

Thanks :)

they seem to run the 5 year all the time and the 10 year just once in a while, when they run those is anyone's guess.
i heard the reason why they run the 5 year was that in germany the vacuums only have 2 year warranty and so to be consistent with the brand they have to call it a promotion to do the 5 year warranty.

In 2011 there were two 10-year warranty promotion. One was in May for sure when I bought my S5 Continuum. The 2nd one was in October (?) which I cannot remember the exact month.

Is it worth waiting, say, up to 4 months for the promotion? Of course it may not even come around again within 4 months...

I am pretty much in the same boat as you Kait. I want a Miele canister for my condo badly, hopefully some type of promotion will pop up soon.

May is 3 months from now. For a 10-year warranty it is worth for the wait IF another 10-year warranty promotion comes again. Good luck.

I'm not so sure about waiting... I haven't heard any rumblings of a similar promotion... I could wait and it may not come in May! :(

Kind of figure I might as well just jump on it now, take a 5yr warranty and be happy... :)

"take a 5yr warranty and be happy... " -- may be regret when the promotion comes in May. Sure if you need a vacumn badly. How nice it would be if we have a crystal ball. What model are you interested in?

For all I know it could be next month, or may.. or never. Just can't wait around forever :(

Looking at the S6 line... I'm thinking S6 Momentum

We always want the best of both worlds (price and warranty), but to use a line from the Rolling Stones "You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you might just find what you need".

$200 and change for the Miele upright is awesome deal with 5 year warranty. Put it on a credit card for 1 extra year and be done with it.

You won't regret the upright Kaitlyn as long as you are strong enough to lift 20ish lbs.

I saw it in person... first actually. It certainly was not a bad vacuum but I absolutely prefer the canister...

The S4 Momentum *seems* better than the S6 Momentum, but ah well!

Have you checked out this site?

http://mieleunboxed.ca/

They are refurbished, but many just end up being opened boxes (like the one I got). I picked up an S2 for $150 (70% off regular price) and comes with a 1 year warranty on the entire unit and 7 years on the motor.

There's no vacuums in the inventory currently, but I would check back every week on their website to see if any come in. They are actually really good at keeping it up to date.

I decided against it.... I liked the brushes the Momentum came with more, and although the Plus has a comfort handle the hose doesn't swivel like on the S4...

And I really didn't like the "external power attachment" thingy. I really don't see how they couldn't have done that one better :(

The Momentum comes with a brush, debris/dust are sucked through the brush. The Momentum PLUS comes with an electric power head that has an electric roller with brush that beat up debris/dust on the floor/carpet. You can adjust the level of the power brush, or disable it. Just my 2 cents.
