Bought this last week. All other stores were $499 vs Appliance Central's $375 I got free shipping to Brisbane - check your postcode.
Delivery: No PO Boxes. Took couple of days courier from NSW to Brisbane.

This came with their Hygiene Air Filter but you can upgrade to a HEPA filter by buying it separately. Filters are washable too which is good.
Personal opinion: The only two design flaws upon a couple of uses, both of which I can easily live with.
1) The dust canister handle is on top and can be easily mistaken as the handle to lift the vacuum which is also on top. No dust will fall out but still it may take some getting used to.
2) There is a canister full line in the dust collector. However the dust in the canister sticks to the inside wall due to electrostatic cling so it's hard to tell when full or not. Not a deal-breaker for me as I'll empty it out after use, might only be because it's brand new.
I called Miele spares for a friend recently, they were super helpful (Wanted a motor bearing that had disintegrated on his very old UK bought model). No pushing for sending to specialist repair centre. I like to repair things that are out of warranty so this was good news.
I also went through the vacuum while is was nice and box-clean to see internal filters. All seemed easy enough to clean out.
Edit: Noticed a couple of other stores recently dropped pricing this still seems to be the best with free delivery as well.
