I am DISGUSTED with my Miele HM 16-80 .Has your steam roller Miele blown your fuses in your house when you use steam

No problems with fuses at all. But - it is advisable to consult your electrician to get the right fuse for the room you use the Miele in. I love it.

It DOES use serious electricity. I notice the lights dim ever so slightly in the room where I use it. No blown fuses. I wonder if you should use it when you're not taxing yourelectic (when AC is off). Maybe an elecyrician can offer advice.

Dear Trudi, My Miele does not steam. I have not had any problem with the fuses blown. I am careful about which circuit I use. I make sure it is not on a circuit with the air conditioning or refrigerator or some other system that takes a lot of electricity/ Hope this helps.

I don't know. I suggest you read your owner's manual or go to the Miele website and look up that model number. Good luck!

If you're going to spend that much, buy a MIELE brand. I'm looking to replace ours, which is about 10 years old. It's easy to use and lightweight with great suction. I'm looking to see if any other brands are equivalent and cheaper possibly for replacement. I saw your comment and thought I'd comment.

I am sorry to inform you that this sounds like the same problem I faced with this Bosch product. Save yourself thousands (literally, I am not kidding) of dollars in failed attempts to fix it and just get rid of it. Horrible product, if I can save just one person the misery we experienced with this Bosch water heater it will be worth the time I spend writing on this topic. I don't work for any competing company, just a word to the wise. Save yourself the aggravation, just get rid of it.

You might try plugging another appliance into that outlet, such as an iron, and see if the circuit still blows. If it doesn't, my guess is you have a faulty steamer. Try a Swiffer, and change the pad often!

I believe you've got a defective one as I did. Mine did not produce any steam. If I were you, I would return it right away. Give it a 1 worst rating as I did.

I purchased the Oreck almost 18 months ago, within 9 months, the steam switch stopped working. I took it back to the local dealer. They replaced the steamer with a new one and within 6 months, this one is not working. I guess I will take it ba k again and see what happens. I am pretty unhappy at this point. It worked good while it lasted.

There is only 1 or 2 places in the state of OK that can repair them. Other places probably could, but so long as it's under warranty you will want to use a Miele certified repairman. I would check in your state on the Miele website and check for certified repairmen before buying.

I would google "Miele vacuum maintenance + zip code". Also call some vacuum shops in your area and ask if they service Miele. (Use the word service, because one that was near me sells them but doesn't service them. Then I called the other and they sell AND provide service.)Hope this helps! You can also ask if they will match Amazon's price if you buy at their shop, because at a shop you can try it out before you buy.

If you mean no luck = no steam, check the hole in the bottom of the unit to see if it is even open. Mine was sealed shut with some type of plastic. I took a very small drill bit and with hand turning only (I did not put it into an electric drill) I was able to drill out the plastic and open the hole. Then my steamer began to steam. If water cannot get into the hole, steam cannot be made. I too owned a Caruso and this one works the same. The rollers steam up in seconds and by the time I have put one into my hair the next one is ready. I hope you are able to get yours to work!

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

Mine worked fine approximately 2 years until a couple weeks ago when it started up and caught itself on fire. Could have burn't my shop down if I hadn't been there. There were wires rubbing inside the motor part of the compressor that started the melt down and fire. I told California Air about it and all they did was over to sell me replacement parts for $350.00. I no longer own a California Air Compressor.

I wish I could tell you. I waited over a month for it to be shipped and it never worked. It turned on but never produced steam. The company is shipping me a new one this week so once I get the new I can let you know. I believe it is on the warm side.

We had to replace our one year old working unit due to extremely poor performance. Bosch engineer told us that that model never should have been sold retail. Felt like we had been robbed of $600. You can call their tech support but don't expect a fix.

I had to get the fuse directly from the maker of the pool rover. They sell it in pairs. I wish I hadn't bought this machine.

I have used two versions of this and never had that problem. Maybe you should try replacing the steam head attachement

How long have you had it? If you are still inside the return window, that is what I suggest. I had two heating elements go out within about 6 hours of work. Returned it and got a Hakko. No regrets.
