You'll Enjoy Vacuuming! (Maybe.),
By
This review is from: Miele Earth S5481 Canister Vacuum Cleaner With SEB 217 Powerhead and SBB 300-3 Parquet Floorbrush (Kitchen)
I wrote a lengthy review of this vacuum for my website (feel free to check it out if you want -- see video for URL), but for Amazon I'll summarize it: this is a great vacuum. I haven't had experience with other Miele models, but if this thing is any indication, Miele makes a line of excellent machines. Here is a quick rundown of SOME (but not all) of the advantages and disadvantages of this unit: Pros: +Excellent filtration (as good as it gets) +Quieter than any vacuum I've ever heard +Low ground clearance +Well designed/engineered in pretty much every aspect (I love the cord winder, wheels, bags, auto-shutoff, etc!) +Looks really slick while still subdued (doesn't scream "I'm a Dyson!") Cons: -Typical disadvantages of being a canister vac. Sometimes difficult to maneuver around corners/doors, sometimes a pain trying to reposition hose. -Attaching/detaching certain tools and the wand itself can be a little awkward at times -Price is steep! The bottom line is that if you can afford it, you absolutely can't go wrong with this vacuum (or presumably any Miele). I give it 5 stars because, while not *perfect*, it certainly is the best vacuum I've ever seen or used...and by a landslide. Note: If you have carpet, I'd recommend any model in the S5 line (except the Pisces, which doesn't include a powered brush head). For primarily hard floors, any of the Miele models should meet your needs.

the evil of suction,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Miele Earth S5481 Canister Vacuum Cleaner With SEB 217 Powerhead and SBB 300-3 Parquet Floorbrush (Kitchen)
Ten days in. Last week, my wife on the other end of the phone said "I don't like it, it's too hard to push on the carpet" (her first use). "What!" I thought, four figures lighter in my wallet and she doesn't like it. I got home after work and the machine was close by in the basement. I picked up the handle with the carpet head and tried it. The head glided over the carpet with no resistance, "it feels ok I said". "You have to turn it on", she said. I replied something like "ok, you mean because you now have a vacuum cleaner that actually sucks hard enough to give some resistance, you don't like it!" She must have though about this because lately she has commented on how quiet it is and how it does the furniture so well, she isn't going to give it up now.
Is it possible to give an unbiased view after spending over $1000 on a vacuum cleaner. Let's just say here's my 2 cents. - the canister is a bit heavier than I thought but no different from the old Kenmore canister. - the machine is quiet for a vacuum cleaner but that does not mean it's quiet, i.e. some great progress has been made with appliances such as dishwashers (almost silent) but I won't hold my breathe for vacuum cleaners or hair dryers. - the components look and feel good quality and they work well together. - I cannot get the hang of hooking the brush and handle to the canister to stand upright when not in use. The mechanism does not work well, it takes several tries but this is small potatoes. - as mentioned excellent suction and the auto setting can be over-ridden. - the delivery from United Vacuums (via Amazon) beat the schedule by a couple days in excellent condition - the switches and lights are intuitive and its easy to work controls by foot and not having to bend over. - my wife who doesn't read manuals, read the manual and is teaching me things about it - the compartments open and close with ease and feel sturdy No complaints so far and we're banking on things staying that way for a while as in years, that's what we paid for.

Great vacuum - attachments are OK.,
By DontBelieveTheHype (NYC, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miele Earth S5481 Canister Vacuum Cleaner With SEB 217 Powerhead and SBB 300-3 Parquet Floorbrush (Kitchen)
This is a great vacuum. I thought long and hard about spending $1,000 on a vacuum. It was NOT an easy decision.
5 Stars for the vacuum itself but looses a star due to the attachments. PROS: The vacuum itself is great. Powerful suction, low noise (much lower than any other vacuum I've ever heard) which makes it less annoying to vacuum, the auto-power feature works well (remember, it's the amount of air flow that counts, unless your trying to pick up a bowling ball) and it's less strain on the motor, I definitely noticed the REAL HEPA filtering on this vacuum, no smell an no dust blowing around. CONS: The ergonomic handle is OK when using the floor attachments but makes dusting shelves and other items difficult when using the attachments. It is also bulking making it difficult to get under and around items. Their solution is to purchase the car cleaning kit or the micro kit at $150 - 175. For $1,000 it should have the option to remove the ergonomic handle. This would have been helpful. Overall I'm happy with the purchase because I have bad dust allergies and no other vacuum has had real HEPA filtering. I decided my health was worth the expense.
