DO YOU OWN A MIELE VACUUM CLEANER

Joan from Masterton District

Learn from my experience with Miele vacuum cleaner. It could save you having to buy a new one. My Miele suddenly stopped working and the verdict was that dust had got into the motor and it heated up and then cut out. The machine was only 18 months old and under guarantee......I thought.

I was told by the technicians at Newbolds to always use the Miele bags. The cheaper ones are thinner and when the bag is put in the machine often the hole into the hose is only half open because the lighter plastic doesnt hold in place very well. When the lid is closed you dont notice that a lot of the dust will now be going into the machine, not the bag.
I now have to pay for repairs because if you dont use Miele bags it is not covered by the guarantee. I must say that Farmers gave me excellent service and did their best to get a better outcome. These modern machines seem to need more tender care, unlike the trusty old Electroluxes.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
