While they are probably overpriced, if you buy from Dyson you know you are getting pretty good quality. My prior vacuums were from Shark and Hoover and they sucked in the wrong way. While I probably could have gotten a decent vacuum from one of those well-known generic vacuum companies, going with Dyson assured I'd get something much better than I previously had. If I saw a Miele vacuum on the shelf, I'd have no idea what to expect, given have never heard of the brand before.

Miele is a well-known up-market household appliances and devices manufacturer from Germany. Generally Miele is considered to last a lifetime, though their first few wifi enabled appliances and devices were horrible.
