Advantages: Specialist cleaning, well made and reliable Disadvantages: None
Well, my rubbish old vacuum eventually kicked the bucket so it was time for me to rush out and buy (well, add to my credit card) my beautiful new Miele vacuum having heard rave reviews about them from friends.
I checked the which guide and other review sites and found that they were rated very highly which confirmed my choice of make and that just left the model to choose. I decided on the S5281 as it seemed a good, powerful, all-rounder. Then came the hunt to find the best price or deal, having not spent any money for while since having a baby I thought that a purchase of nearly £200 online would guarantee me some good discount, cashback or loyalty points.
I found the vacuum for between £195 and £200 in many places and also found it in Argos for £175 - same model number but a slightly different name. I was a bit suspicious so ...

Review of MieleS 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.

It is ideal for carpeted floors, but I have to admit that I do not find it particularly efficient on longer piled carpets as it is hard work to manoever over anything other than a medium thickness carpet.

Advantages: Powerful suction, hygenic and quiet. Disadvantages: Not widely available.
vacuum with a 1800w motor. This is because it depends on how well the vaccum is sealed and where the motor is placed, this particular vacuum cleaner has a 2000w motor and it is also properly air tight which is why it is more powerful than many other vacuum cleaners.

We use this vacuum cleaner for the upstairs only as we found it is more conveniant than an upright when working around beds etc.
Normally uprights are best suited for carpeted homes, however I find that this vacuum does and excellent job on the carpets; they don?t turn flat and they look brilliant after ...
