This thread made it to today's TalkMail, FYI.
To add to datapoints, my sister brought in a Miele (HEPA) a few months ago - told her to keep it in the original packing (cardboard carton) and pack it inside her suitcase as-is.
Made it in just fine!
Note to self: Need to start bringing in backup vacuums - as some of ours require replacement...

Actually they do have, and some good makes such as LG, Philips, Samsung, etc, but Indians always like to boast about things that have either come from the UK or USA (not to mention the fact you will probably give it to them as a gift). the power supply is the same (same as 1950's UK) - they just need to change the square pin plug for a round pinned one. I carried a LIDL pressure washer over in my baggage a couple of years ago when they couldn't be bought out there....

Edited to Add: Found that Miele is now showing some models available on their India website. Too scared to check pricing - if it's anywhere similar to their washing machines!
You can now get power washers in India, thankfully.
