After an allergy test revealed that I had a dust allergy I bought a Dyson to replace our cheap generic vacuum cleaner and thought it was the bee’s knees. Then the power switch went. And it would clog the power head constantly. Then, at about 10 years old it packed it in completely when the motor died.
Replaced that with a Miele which hasn’t missed a beat. So much so we bought a second when we moved into our current house (one for upstairs, one for downstairs, I’m lazy). In terms of suction they are the same or better, but ergonomically they shit all over the Dyson. Not as purple though.
That isn’t my experience. Bought two, one six years ago, one three years ago, both still work perfectly. Sold one of them recently for half what I paid for it.
First I’ve heard of Miele. I’ll look into it, but the reason why I got Dysons in the first place was constantly hearing others rave about them.
On my second Dyson, not sure why I bought a second one. Thing is always getting jammed up with hair and needs complete disassembly to clean it out, and batteries will only last two years before needing replacement. All the joints are very loose as well now. Will be going with the Miele HX2 at some point soon which is actually cheaper than some of the Dyson.
Just not for very long. Get a Miele and be done with it.
Been through this.

From experience, the filtering cyclones in the mieles are quite a bit worse than the Dyson.
If you want a good and lasting vacuum, don’t buy a cordless one. When looking at corded vacuums, miele is definitely one of the better options.
The cordless sticks, and stick vacuums in general are not built to be BIFL. Doesn’t matter what brand you get.
Read the reviews. HX2 isn’t that much better reviewed and it costs a hell of a lot more.
