Miele GT262

...Review of Miele S 380 cleaner This is a bagged vacuum cleaner from the manufacturer, Miele. The Ciao photograph shows the product in red however my own is 'Bahama Blue'. I purchased mine to replace a cylinder style cleaner that I use for my static caravan. **The product** The vacuum cleaner is a fairly basic model, it does not come with many attachments, i.e. No pet hair brush, or fragrance pocket for those little air fresheners. The cleaner is fairly quiet running in comparison to my upright cleaner (Dyson) which I use at home.

The Dyson proved to be rather fragile and unreliable and had many repairs over it's life, after the bottom part began to crack we decided it was time for a new vacuum cleaner.

...After buying 3 dysons and all 3 not lasting longer than 4 mths i decided to try a different make. What with having 2 dogs 1 a german shepherd what sheds hair like there is no tomorrow, the other luckily a short haired mongrel, but when she sheds she looses buckets full, plus 2 girls who dont care were they drop there wrappers and rubbish, we decided on the Miele cat and dog hoover. This is a cylinder hoover with a bright red and black casing. It has moveable castors for easy moving, a handle for carrying, The accesories are easily stored within the body, an dusting brush, upholstery nozzle, crevize nozzle. It is powerful with a completely sealed system. It has a great air flow, for every type of carpet or floor surface. They are equipped with speed controls with different speeds, 300,500, 700, 900, 1200, 1600, the 1600 is great... Read review
