I've had mixed results. Mine started becoming far less efficient after about 3 years. I tried regular maintenance to no avail, and I took it completely apart and cleaned the venturi. It got kinda better. Then a year later, I used it to vacuum up some curry powder, and from then on it smelled incredibly strong of curry.
It still wasn't cleaning all that well. It had stopped picking up pet hair, then the high-speed bearing started making noise. Taking the lower assembly apart was way too involved and the replacement motor itself would be 1/4 of the price I paid.
I ended up getting a cheap bagless Shark at costco. Self cleaning brushes, cheap two-stage filter. Thing runs like new 4 years in.
I'd rather have gotten a Miele, but the price just wasn't in the cards at the moment.
I do think their stick vacs are a little better though
