Advantages: Quiet and good suction Disadvantages: Pricey
...cleaner and had heard that Miele were good and that they scored highly in the Which reports. I purchased mine from John Lewis where the helpful sales assistant was happy to demonstrate the vacuum in action.
==The vacuum in use==
The first thing that strikes you about the vacuum is that it does have quite a powerful suck, which is kind of important in a vacuum. This particular machine is actually quite quiet compared to others that I have used. ... ...I am completely converted to Miele cleaners and doubt I would buy another Dyson. I actually expect this vacuum to last a long while - they have been designed to last ten years or so, and I actually think it will. I have used the vacuum a lot (well maybe not as much as I should have if you saw the state of my house!), and it is as good as new even though I have owned it over a year now. It is good to know that it is covered under a 2 year guarantee ...

Advantages: excellent suction, variable power settings, quiet, light, easy to clean Disadvantages: purchase price is steep
...fraction more and purchased a Miele S5280 for £180. The main reason I opted for the Miele over a Numatic Henry was because my parents have used Miele hoovers now for years and couldn't recommend one more highly.
Designed as more of a drag around hoover instead of the normal upright the entire unit is considerably lighter than most Dyson or Hoover products and has the ability to both adjust the suction power thus reducing the amount of noise produced ... ...in the vening and early in the morning without disturbing the entire neighbourhood. The motor produces 2200w of power which gives the S5280 a level of suction I had never felt before. As soon as it is switched on when set to full power the actual brush sticks to the carpet and in some cases actually pulls it up it is that powerful. This results in a really deep penetration of the carpet fibres and picks up absolutely everything within the carpet ...

...We decided to buy a Miele cylinder vacuum cleaner because we have two small children who crawl all over the house so a reliable and long lasting vacuum cleaner was needed. My elder son is afraid of the vacuum cleaner's noise but not of this one's noise. It is quiet but sucks everything very well. We replaced a Samsung vacuum cleaner which worked nicely but was too noisy for the kids. There are a lot of good vacuum cleaners on the market, I am sure, ... ...disappointed. There are days when I have to hoover the whole house 2-3 times. Price It was about 200 pounds which is quite a lot, but it was worth every penny. It is easy to handle and sucks well. It has very useful features. Features It has Allergotec floorhead. There is a sensor on the floorhead which shows whether your carpet is clean already or not. It is red when there are larger dust pieces on the floor, orange when there are less and smaller ...

...flatter to deceive.
This Miele is versatile, quiet and has easy maneuverability around the home. The drawback is dust bags but they last a long time and work well; being easy to change and dispose of.
It has settings from curtains to heavy soiled carpets and a choice of filters. Tools are well designed and the smaller ones actually are in a neat compartment in the cleaner.
We bought it specifically for our oak wooden floors and the special parquet ...
