I weighed the pros and cons, and a couple days later I brought home a shiny, new Sprint Blue upright vacuum.  <img src='http:\/\/www.achooallergy.com\/images\/my-miele-twist-blog.jpg' alt='My New Miele Twist Vacuum' title='My New Miele Twist Vacuum' style='float:right'>Out of the box there was literally one thing I had to do, attach the handle, and I was ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>I started with my bedroom floor, which much like most of the apartment, is carpeted.  Though I&#39;ll admit that the Twist is heavier than my old upright, it really scoots across the carpet with little effort.  Before I knew it, I was done, but for some reason I didn&#39;t stop there.  I was using the upholstery tools to clean my mattress, curtains and couch cushions, dusting the ceiling fan (how did I not notice the mountain of filth accumulating up there?), and vacuuming our living room. My curious roommate even gave it a go.  She vacuumed her entire room, which really surprised me.  She would normally rather have a root canal than clean!<\/p>\n<p>During all this cleaning, a few thoughts occurred to me.  &#8216;Wow, why am I excited?  Having just turned 25(not a mom, homemaker, a homeowner, or even someone who has a strong desire to keep a clean home), why am I cleaning like my life depends on it?  Is it because I&#39;m a little nerdy, and the Twist is a bit like a gadget? Do I enjoy quality products?&#8217;  I had a lot of questions but was short on answers.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn&#39;t something I posted on Facebook or Instagram, but I did casually bring it up in conversation with one of my good friends, Ginny.  She was surprised to hear me say &#8216;Miele&#8217; and told me that her mom had a Miele, one that literally mentioned in her mother&#39;s will, is to be passed down to Ginny. It was fun and interesting to make that Miele connection.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after, I went to Asheville to visit some friends.  To my pleasant surprise, I walked into my friend&#39;s house and saw that she had a Miele Plus! I exclaimed &#8216;I have a Miele too!&#8217; Of course, not everyone knew what I was talking about, but I was still excited to see someone else around my age with a Miele.<\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/www.achooallergy.com\/images\/mielebadge5.png' alt='Less Than A Week Left to Get a FREE HEPA Filter w\/ Every Miele Vacuum Cleaner Purchase' title='Less Than A Week Left to Get a FREE HEPA Filter w\/ Every Miele Vacuum Cleaner Purchase' style='float:left'>So moral of my story is, you&#39;re never too young to have a superior quality home appliance. You aren&#39;t simply paying for a name, but for a lifelong (well, at least, twenty year) investment.  And, if you got something good, don&#39;t keep it a secret! You&#39;ll never know who else may have a Miele in their closet.<\/p>\n<p>Author:  R.
