Previously I would buy cheap vacuums and replace as necessary. A few years ago deciding that this was a false economy we bought a Miele for the best part of £300.
The hose has split at the handle. Unlike other vacuums this isn't going to be a tidy pull part, trim and reassemble job. It will be a bodge. Or a replacement involves a new handle and is nigh on a hundred quid. (Unless anyone knows better?)
Not chuffed.
