My 8 year old Eureka canister vacuum broke yet another part. The local repair shop was selling the Miele Carina for such a great price, I snapped one of the remaining two up. Carina + 2 boxes of bags and filters cost $299 including tax. The cheapest I've found it online is $399 and that's without the extra bags and filters.
Gee, aren't I a sweet homemaker?
