Picked up one just now at the Bayswater store. Couldn't see them on the floor but apparently they have a whole pallet left which is another 14 units. Hopefully this price is available at other TGG stores.

Well it's cheaper than this one at Godfreys https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/128290 , made in Germany so you can't go wrong. Was also able to use my TGG $40 gaming voucher on top of this.
Which Sydney TGG's are open today??
Can anybody confirm this is available elsewhere? The website has them listed as a clearance item for $288.00
damn it, i purchased this one just past 6 months ago with my 28 degree card.
How is it?
I was going to go for the Dyson DC37 but after reading the happy reviews here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/123169 I decided to go for this model. Thanks for the reviews guys.
Miele is as good if not better than Dyson. The construction and suction mechanism is simple; tried and proven. Dyson has too many complicated bits and parts. Try dissecting one. One of my mates has a dyson of few years old and swore never to get another dyson again. Its broken and too complex to fix.
bit of a no-brainer at this price.
it's pretty sturdy machine, strong suction but my rental house is too old and carpets are dirty, so the bag get filled up pretty quick, currently looking for new bag. The air smells like sour milk now once I use it now because of whatever it pick up from my baby's leftover. I guess because it doesn't have hepatic filter or whatever the saleman told me.
spare the details.
You could always change the filter to a normal one or a Hepa one anytime.
Bayswater store is my usual local store from work, but they are not answering the phone today. Argh
Any one close to the bayswater store? I can't get them on the phone. I am registered as a customer on their system. Unfortunately 60km away atm.
This was posted on FB - our Sydney stores are closed for the Boxing Day Holiday today, but will reopen tomorrow. You can shop online at www.thegoodguys.com.au. Thanks
$288 online and the online system for me is not working well at all.
Can't buy anything online. Website unresponsive.
getting ozbargained…
Completely…unresponsive!
You're correct. $288 online. And yes, it's slow as hell.
Anyone checked with Preston (VIC) store? Couldn't get them on the phone while their website clearly stated that they're open 8AM-9PM today
Trying to look on local store. Ye ol' Good Guys need more bandwidth!
essendon sold out apparently.
They are not taking calls and their website is hopeless. Even if you can get something in the cart it times out and deletes it.
rang hoppers crossing store. they are not price matching it. bugga. most TGG stores are not answering today.
Go instore, and show them the OzB price. You never know…
Spoke to someone in the vacuum dept and they said they will sell it for $288. i think i will find the same person in store. lol
True. But face to face can be different to talking to someone on the phone. Where's your Boxing Day bargaining spirit!?
went in store and asked the dude to price match. "are you the one who rang earlier?" "sorry, but the best price i can do is $249, which i quoted earlier". my bargaining spirit is outta the window now.
Ha…well done mate. Sorry my optimism sent you on a bit of a goose chase. Sounds like everyone else had similar stories where the sales staff would just not budge.
Annoyed as Bayswater is my usual store and they would hold it for me to pay on pick up. Just can't get there today.
give up and start saving for a dyson you all.
Apparently, they suck… :P
Moorabin got none-obsolete model. Bayswater git around 10 left on the pallet. Such as well as mine Henry, but lighter and smaller. Buying one for my family member. Have a dc35 animal very disappointed with it!
Anyone going to Bayswater like to get them to put one aside for me?
Sorry mate, i asked for you. The wont put it on hold bc it is not fair for the other buyers, said the salesman
Even though I am a customer there! Thanks for trying
It's $288 in store at mt gravatt qld :(
Edit: best they would do is $277. Walking over to godfreys to get the $199 one instead
anyone been to Preston VIC to see if they are the same price there?
They didn't have any when I asked :(
One left in Tuggeranong, ACT for $295 and they will not budge on price even after showing them this online :-(
All gone now :(
They have usb lexar 8gb for $5 also i think.
Thanks OP brought the Vacuum, a long drive for me but probably worth it.
I just moved out on my own and am needing to get a whole lot of things and waa eyeing this vacuum…. so sad i missed out! If anyone got one and then realised they don't really need it, and willing to sell, I'll buy it from you (if you're in Victoria) :)
is a turbo dust interceptor increase the lifespan of a bagged vacuum like a Miele S5211 or is it just a waste of money?

came across a post in whirlpool which seem to say this attachment doesnt work well with Miele as below…
they don't work with a miele due to the lack of taper on both the hose handle and telescopic rod (ive tested them www.vacshop.com.au) and miele havent got one.

Are these any good or better to go for another model/ brand?
