Advantages: Great for pet hair, quiet, powerful Disadvantages: None that I've found
After going through 2 vacuums in 3 years, I decided to try to find a longer-lasting replacement .
This model and Miele's 'cat & dog' both had the requirements I needed - that the vacuum would pick up cat and dog hair well and hopefully, with Miele's good reputation, have durability. A consumer magazine recommended both of these but as the 571 was the cheaper of the two and got the highest test score, I decided to opt for it and have not been disappointed.
I ordered online after shopping around for the best price and it was delivered within 3 days. It's a cylinder and has a smart black case that neatly opens to reveal the onboard tools of a dusting brush, crevice tool and upholstery brush. It was simple, even for me, to connect the hose and telescopic poles and with the dustbag already fitted, (easy to change too) I was ready to ...

Advantages: Last for years, great suction Disadvantages: Colours vary, not all models have a variety of colours
If you are not into DYSONS then this is in my opinion the next best thing if not even better. The quality of all Mieles are incredible. They last for years (my mum has a very old model from eight years ago, and it still works as well as it did on the first day).
DONT BE PUT OFF ABOUT THE BAGS, they are widely avaliable and last for a while, depending on the size of the house and dust on the floors.
This model has a great amount of power that is adjustable. The head has the change between hard floors and carpets. The onboard tools have their uses, they are just not for show.
If you have a baby, this is quiet on the high setting, on the low it is almost undetectable.
All round GREAT vacuum ...

Advantages: Ease of use, Quality, Efficiency Disadvantages: Initial cost (remember it is designed to last twice as long as other machines)
A couple of years ago we went on Holiday to Germany and stayed in a self catering appartment on a farm. One of the pieces of equipment in the kitchen was a dishwasher, after 2 weeks using a dishwasher I thought how have we managed before!
On return from our holiday one of the first things I did was look at buying a dishwasher.
After checking out various different makes I came to the conclusion that the Miele range appart from being one of the most expensive looked as if it was far better put together than the other makes and that it was more enviromentally friendly in use of resorces (electricity, water and detergent).
I found a good deal on the Miele G646 and bought it.
Setting up the machine was easy, one water inlet hose connected to the cold water mains, outlet hose into the waste drain and the plug into the wall ...
