That Red Miele Upright (The Salsa) will out suck anything you put next to it!!! For an upright anyway...
Did I ever tell the story of the Miele Rep..
Gallon jug...3" inches of pea gravel...2" of dirt...2" pet hair and 6 small plastic bags....
Took attachment hose and sucked it ALL straight through..no slow down, hesitation or bogging down...Had a PLUM FULL BAG..solid as a brick and STILL had the same suction power....WOW
