5.0 out of 5 stars great for hardwood floors, July 19, 2006

By	Shannon M. Kozubik (Minneapolis, MN, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We live in a large condominium with all hardwood floors. The Miele S163 works great for a place like ours...it sucks up all the junk messing up our floors... crumbs and dust are completely gone with a quick swipe--it's really light and has a long cord --and has a lot of power. We have a few area rugs and it cleans them really well. We recommend this vacuum -

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for hardwood floors and small area rug, January 21, 2007

By	Veritas "veritas" (California) - See all my reviews

I am happy with the ease of use, power, and portability of this vacuum cleaner. We had a canister before that needed so much storage space and parts to be put together before we can use it. Now, the upright is just there and ready to go. It cleans our hardwood floors, tile bathroom, kitchen linoleum, and office rug area very efficiently. I noticed that the dust doesn't blow around or settle on the floor but is actually sucked into the bag! The HEPA filter addition is a plus with 2 cats! I highly recommend it. It is a bit on a "heavy side" (about 10lbs.), so that's a consideration. But for me, it's a good way to workout my arms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny!, March 27, 2008

By	AL (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

I was a little apprehensive about spending more than $200 on a stick vacuum, but the Miele S163 is definitely worth it. First of all, it's quiet, so you definitely don't need to turn it off to hear the phone/doorbell ring. The best thing about it is the amazing suction...my carpet looked brand-new and my sofa hasn't been as lint-free since I bought it. The S163 does not come with the HEPA filter like the S168 does (but you can get one for less than $110, which is what the price difference is). The S163 comes with two attachments: the crevice nozzle and upholstery brush. It has a carpet/floor switch, too, and works wonders on my hardwood floors. The electrical cord is nice and long (I can vacuum a few rooms of my small condo at a time without having to unplug). All in all, a great buy!
