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: Superb camera, and it's compact and easy to use too Disadvantages: It is a bit pricey if you don't get one on contract
This phone is essentially a copycat of the i-phone, but i actually think it could have more benefits. For a start, it already comes with 3G internet browsing - the iphone has only just launched its 3G version. It also comes with a superb 5 mega pixel camera which produces photo's to a similar standard to a decent digital camera. Its incredicly small and light and the touch screen has a neat 'feedback' function, which gives a tiny vibration when an icon is selected on the screen. The biggest surprise has been the battery power; Samsung are reknowned for poor battery life, but the F480 doesn't appear to suffer with this. It will happily remain on standby for just under a week, and with regular use (including on overnight) you can expect to charge it once every 3 days. ...
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 ...
