H+E: It's like a high end performance vehicle. High design, high performance, but not necessarily in a good way.

First the good: high power, accessories work well, it's not terribly loud, it has received high ratings for the triple filtration, it is sleekly designed. The wheels are like spinner luggage. The long cord means that it has a long reach. The beater head is adjustable and powerful, and the suction strength is adjustable. It worked very well to vacuum my velvet curtains.

Now the bad: it's a canister vacuum, which means means you need four hands to operate it. It's recommended that you extend the long cord to its full extend to avoid overheating (it pumps out a LOT of heat), and it has a good length to the hose. You really need one hand to manage the cord because of all that length, so you don't roll over it, trip over it or get it caught in the beater brush, or when you are backing up. You need one hand to move the cannister - again, backing up is easy to trip over, to get caught on the cord, or even to flip the cannister upside-down, and with the on-off switch on the canister, it means you have to flip it back over while the unit is running...

Janelle HirschkopfJanelle Hirschkopf: The vacuum bag is not sealing. The valve into bag is not opening while vacuuming. All dirt/lint/nastiness gets sucked into bag compartment but not bag. The filter is all clogged and I am waiting for the engine to blow. I have replaced bag several times and this has happened every time I vacuum.

C/J Chen: I have read lots of reviews from other people about the plus and minus of these vacuums. I am hear to share with you, this is the vacuum you will be very very happy to live with and use for years to come. It is quiet, has incredible suction and just works. For all the people out there who have complained this vacuum is to heavy, oh please. Quality is sturdy and has some weight to it. You will be very very happy when you buy your own.

Keg: Many reading this might be wondering if these Miele vacuums are worth their pretty steep price.
This review might be helpful.
I just got the Kona C3 to replace my finally-broken White Star. I bought *that* vacuum in 1998.
Let that sink in.
My niece was conceived, born in 2000, grew up, and is graduating from university this May (reviewed 3/2022). And, just about EVERY day of her existence (plus the preceding two years)? I used the White Star. It lasted for 23 years in rural places, with dirt driveways that track in voluminous amounts of rocks, dirt and mud.
Now, to the Kona. So far, it is performing as I would expect from a Miele. It's much lighter than the White Star and has a longer cord. The power attachment is great for rugs and you can turn off the beater to vacuum textured rugs. It's just a superior product and, in my opinion, worth every penny.

I would recommend getting the Parquet Twister XL for hardwood and tile, and this is a suggestion for anybody with a retractable cord... take a paper towel and wipe off the cord (every time) as you are retracting it back into the canister. It will keep the cord from getting gummy.

Last...
