To begin with, let's get this out of the way, the Miracle Mate is rather heavy. It weighs 19 pounds, and that is about 3 or 4 pounds more than usual. There can be a couple reasons that the Miracle Mate is slightly substantial. The motor is a duel stage (that means it posesses two metal fans) metal motor. Metal motors will be more substantial than plastic covered motors. Metal motors additionally give off warmth away from the motor better than plastic. Therefore the motors last longer. Do you recall that Hoover vacuum cleaner that your grandmother used...40 years ago...that even now runs? That is because it used a metal motor.
The casing of the Miracle Mate is additionally all metal. A Die Cast Aluminum alloy that has become almost indestructible. That is another reason it's slightly more substantial than typical.
The primary claim to fame that the Miracle Mate has is that the bag never clogs up, and also you never lose your suction. The solitary way to lose your suction is to fill the bag so full that the dirt and filth is backing up into the hose. That is almost impossible to do. The air flow flys into the bag at an direction that forces the air stream to incessantly blast the back of the bag. Keeping it free to permit perfect airflow.
Additionally, there's a couple other vacuums that share that air flow system. The Tri-Star, Air-Storm, and Patriot vacuums share the same technique of forcing the air above the dirt as opposed to through the dirt and filth. The real advantage that the Miracle Mate has, is that the paper liners are sealed at the top, and the lid of the bag compartment has a short nozzle that opens the seal at the top of the bag, when the lid closes. If you take out the full paper filter bag to toss it away, the dirt and filth is trapped in the paper filter bag and won't leak out into the air. The metal casing of the Miracle Mate is warrantied for a 30 year period with 3 years on everything else. That is a quite good warranty.
I spot Miracle Mate vacuums offered on line on E-Bay. These are not new machines, and they are not current models. The manufacturer's warranty will be voided if you purchase from a merchant that is not an legitimate seller. We recommend shopping from a local retailer who has been in business for several years, will be able to honor the manufacturer's warranty, and will offer bags, filters, and parts to repair your vacuum cleaner for decades to come.
Naturally, the Miracle Mate vacuum cleaner offers sealed HEPA filtration to keep airborne dirt and dust from leaking out the exhaust. Therefore the system filters the air as you vacuum.
At $3,000 they are at the expensive end of quality vacuum cleaner costs. But when you consider that this may be the last vacuum cleaner you ever need to buy. The worth just isn't out of line.
