I bought the Miele Swing about a month ago and used it immediately. It is a great machine, so easy to use. My mum also used it and loved it so much she went online to buy one straight away! I have recently used a 'drag along' vacuum while on holidays and it was so cumbersome and heavy I really missed the Swing. One improvement suggestion: I would love to see a bagless one at some point because the little bag fills up quickly - it would be great to be able to empty a canister and keep on cleaning!
