Product Description

Amazon.com

The Miele S7 Series features breakthrough SwivelNeck technology that lets you steer your upright with little more than a turn of your wrist or even extend it into its unique flat-to-the-floor position. So instead of having to move furniture while cleaning, you’ll maneuver around and under it. The control and responsiveness of the S7 Series is perfectly complemented by its outstanding versatility. With an independently powered, spring-loaded roller brush, these AirClean Sealed System vacuum cleaners are capable of lifting dirt, dust and debris from the deepest pile carpets in one swift pass and then transitioning gracefully to a smooth surface, such as a polished hardwood floor. Miele’s S7 vacuums feature a 12-foot integrated flexible hose that makes cleaning upholstery, ceilings and drapery an easy task. Coupled with a long electrical cord, S7’s overall cleaning radius is 54 feet.

S7210 Twist Miele’s S7 Twist vacuum features a unique electrobrush that follows the contours of your floor, automatically adjusting for different carpet depths and surface coverings — providing even, consistent suction and gentle cleaning. The Twist features Miele’s AirClean Sealed System, comprised of an AirClean FilterBag and Air Clean Filter that captures and retains 99.9+% of dirt, dust and allergens. The S7 Twist vacuum features a rotary dial control with four power settings that allows you to adjust the level of suction to the type of surface being cleaned. Other conveniences include three accessories — a dusting brush, upholstery tool and crevice nozzle.

SwivelNeck Technology Offers ultimate maneuverability, pivoting around chair legs and cleaning under low furnishings.

Automatic Height Adjustment A spring-loaded brush roller automatically adjusts to the surface being cleaned, with no loss of suction.

Operating Radius With a 12-foot integrated flexible hose, the S7 Twist has an overall cleaning radius of 54 feet.

AirClean Sealed System Comprised of an Auto-Seal closing FilterBag and Air Clean filter, the S7 Twist captures and retains 99.9+% of dirt, dust and allergens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid construction, made in Germany. TOTALLY AMAZING PRODUCT!!!! December 28, 2010

By Robert Goyette

Amazon Verified Purchase

I wasted my money six months ago on a Hoover Tempo. It had been recommended by Consumer Reports which I am now starting to suspect of being highly biased towards certain brands... since that Hoover Tempo was a piece of junk. I used it 20 times and the thing broke and became completely un-usable. I didn't even want to bother with the warranty. I'm never going to consider Hoover for anything. I had fears before getting it due to some mixed feedback including some that were poor (how can this be a CR recommended product...). It was in-expensive so that made me try it out. Pure Garbage. I decided to check out Miele since my mother in-law had highly recommended it. I checked product reviews and they were great (aside from the high price tag). This product is actually designed to last 15 years. I bet it will be the last vaccum I"ll ever have to buy. This product is heavy, it's built solid. If you need to do a lot of cleaning in stairs and you are not a strong person this may not be so appropriate. But for bare floors to carpet, this is unbelievable. I am so glad I got this. It also doesn't take me much time to clean up. It sucks dirt so efficiently and quietly, it's amazing. Filters may be expensive but who cares, this makes your house smell nice, very clean and quickly. Get the cheaper blue model. Who cares about how it looks; it's in the closet most of the time. I'm not going to be posing for GQ while I vaccum. I give my highest ratings to this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miele S7210 vs. Dyson Animal March 13, 2011

By Green Girl

I have a Dyson Animal and it has been my primary vacuum for the past 6 years. About 2 years ago the Dyson began to be less effective in vacuuming our carpets, which are low pile. We dust & vacuum several times per week as we have 3 kids, two huskies and a long hair cat, so having a strong reliable vacuum is paramount. To give you an idea of how much we use our vacuums, we vacuum almost daily during shedding season on both hardwoods, area rugs, stairs & carpeting. We have about 1600sf of hardwoods with a variety of rugs. Our household is a true test for a vacuum.

I clean the Dyson - all ports and points - regularly but figured maybe it needed a "tune-up" as the suction seemed almost nil. It was better upon a professional maintenance but not as great as it seemed to have once been. I "test drove" some new Dyson models and really liked the ball with the ability to get under cabinets but found the much shorter cord a hindrance and the smaller dust bin a pain to empty twice as much. I liked the Electrolux but it was bulky and I have stairs, so that wasn't a consideration.

I have two neighbors who have sung the praises of Miele for years but I resisted due to the cost. I have a Miele dishwasher and it does an incomparable job, so I decided to research the Miele. I read a few negative items, but predominantly the reviews were strong. So I "test drove" the Miele Twist for a week. I was completely impressed with so many features I will never go back. Here are the items I think make it superior to Dyson:

1. The bottom of the vac is metal, the base has a full rubber bumper and the beater bar has an indent making it easy to cut off any strings, hair or impediments.
2. The dust bin does not need emptying - no fun with piles of dog hair.... While a bit more costly, the bags really contain the dirt, dust and hair and reduces my cleaning time. Intially I loved the fact the Dyson had no bags to buy and an easy-to-empty canister, but after a while it was not just an easy chore. Emptying the canister also means cleaning the dust when you dump it, cleaning the rubber gaskets prior to reassembly to be sure suction is maintained, and being sure that all the dust gets emptied and is not stuck in the holes of the central perforated cone.
3. The Miele vacuum has a short "nose" so it can reach under cabinets & furniture easily and it can lay flat. The Dyson cannot do this.
4. The Miele has an amazing ability to turn & swivel and is VERY EASY to push.
5. The Miele has a 35 foot long cord - can reach EVERYWHERE without unplugging!
6. This Miele does not come with the HEPA filter like the models that are $300 more, but the supplied filter is a good one and can easily be replaced with the same $50 filter the other models come with.
7. The beater brush can be turned off leaving only suction, which is great if you have a delicate surface to clean.

So I splurged and kept the Miele. Having had this Miele for over month now, I can truly say that this Miele is a much better quality machine physically and performance wise. I will keep the Dyson as a back up - to use on another floor in the house. But this Miele is now used daily because of its ease of use & the clean path it leaves in its wake! I HIGHLY recommend this vacuum. Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 stars An honest review from a Grandmother:) July 21, 2010

By S. L. Poel

I just purchased the Miele Twist and I know how these reviews are important to me, so I hope that I can help someone esle who is considering the Miele S7 series (any model).

I researched the motors as I was told by the salesperson that the "Twist" has a cheaper motor than the Salsa, etc. This is not true. They all have the same motor - look at Miele's website. The $100 difference is the filter and headlight. You can purchase the better filter and put it in the Twist and have the same machine without the light.

I debated on purchasing off of the web, so I could save money. In my research I found that Authorized Dealers DO NOT honor the warranty if purchased from the web!!! So buyer beware. Upon purchasing and giving it a test run, when I went to use the hose attachment it came out of the machine before I could even stretch it to full length, which is really NOT very far, if you like to vac high places - forget it. The hose attachment is much like a dryer vent.

Bottom line:
The Miele Twist is VERY easy to vac with and because it is on a petite side it can get to many little places and the swivel future is wonderful. It vacuums well, however, going over the same area with my old Riccar, I could hear it picking up debris that apparently the Miele missed. I think this machine is good, however, I think there are others that might be better for the price. I rate it a 3 star.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top-Notch Engineering February 1, 2012

By Brent

I've owned my Twist now for about 9 months, and figured it was finally time to share my experiences with the rest of the world. I researched many vacuums before settling on this one based on professional reviews (Consumer Reports was one) and many user reviews like Amazon's. It's the least expensive of the upright Mieles, but still a significant cash investment in a vacuum cleaner so it's important to make a well-qualified decision. In my opinion, it's worth the money. Rather than reiterate what several other people have said in their own reviews, I'll try to add some of my own unique thoughts.

First of all, we live in a split level condo where the only hardwood floor is in the kitchen. We had been using an old Hoover upright and occasionally an older canister vac to clean the place. We finally decided to get something new when our cleaning lady told us neither vacuum was really working well. After we bought it, I set out to vacuum the whole place myself. The main overall point I'd like to make is that this thing is engineered very well, all the way down to the details. The cord is made of a material that resists kinking and stays "slippery", so it doesn't want to cling to itself and will pull around corners without hanging up on anything. The cord is also long--VERY long. I can plug it into one outlet at the bottom of our stairs and reach every piece of carpeting in the entire place without having to change outlets.

After only a month of use, we had to empty the bag which tells me just how much dirt was being left behind by our other vacuums. Once the bag was full, it was still picking up dirt without any problem, I just happened to check the bag one day on a whim and noticed it was not only full, but dirt had started to accumulate in the neck leading to the bag.... And again, it was still picking up dirt without skipping a beat. That clearly demonstrated to me just how powerful this thing is.

Speaking of power, I will honestly say this is the first vacuum I've owned or even used that I really need to pay attention to what I'm doing. As children, we all tend to fear the mighty vacuum cleaner thinking the thing is going to eat us. Well, as an adult this thing borderline scares me. Not because it's loud or mean-looking, but rather because it will eat anything in its path. I ran the Twist a little too close some loose shoelaces and proceeded to watch it instantly gobble up the laces and pull the shoe straight and immediately to the head of the vacuum. But again noting the top-notch engineering, the brush head immediately clicked off and the indicator light showing a jam lit up. I've since learned to watch out for anything loose in the vicinity, including the edges of throw rugs. In a nutshell, it's so powerful that you've gotta really pay attention to where you're vacuuming.

Many reviewers have pointed out its excessive weight. I just weighed mine and it clocked in at 20.4 pounds. I'm not sure I understand the complaints though for a couple of reasons. First, checking the specs on several Dyson vacuums have them weighing in at 21-28 pounds and a cheap Hoover at 19. It's right in the same ballpark as other vacuums, so maybe it just feels heavy? I'm not sure, but either way the weight has never bothered me. And second, I'd much rather have some additional weight if I knew that weight was contributing to an overall better machine, which I truly believe this is. People often complain that "they just don't make them like they used to". That statement almost always applies to longevity and consistency. Cheaper, newer things don't last, and older things that were made of cast iron and steel are still going strong. When I turn this vacuum on, it takes a couple of seconds to "rev" up the dual motors, which screams to me that it's well made and ready to kick some serious a**.

It has all the nice touches that make it a great machine: it lays flat for getting under furniture, the twist action is nice, the bags are made of a really high-quality near fabric material and not some cheap paper, the bags are easy to change, and they connect to the Twist with a well-designed mechanism. It's also important to point out that as you go up in the Miele line, you don't buy a stronger vacuum, just one with more features like a headlight, HEPA filter (which you can install on the Twist anyway), and so on. The core cleaning mechanism on all the Miele uprights is the same.

In closing, I didn't plan on writing a review of my Twist. I've always been a connisour of well-engineered products, be it cars, stereo equipment, tools, and now vacuum cleaners. Nowadays many people take to the reviews just to complain about a product they were unhappy with in the hopes of warding other people off of a bad purchase, but in my case I was so impressed with the Twist that I felt it necessary to share my happiness. I hope others can relish it as much as I have. Read more ›
