Miele Vacuum Reviews

We needed something that would work well on a solid wood floor and still transition to carpet. This is a great vacuum & worth the cost!! It is lightweight and very easy to use. It turns so easily and does not get caught on furniture. The attachments allow a person to clean anything--it has worked very well on upholstery also.The way the attachments are completely contained & close at hand is a big plus.Even though it is not a heavy appliance, the suction is better than a heavier vacuum I own. It is very flexible & can go around and get under furniture, cabinets etc. that are low to the ground.It also makes sweeping stairways a breeze! I love the fact that it glides smoothly and does not scratch the flooring the way a heavier vacuum could. Because it is so light and easy to use, my 11 year old now can sweep and even enjoys it!! I do not think anyone would be disappointed with purchasing this vacuum.

I have owned my share of vacuums over the years. And like strollers, I kept trying to find the "one" that would be all I needed. I think I finally found it! About a month ago, I decided to put my Eureka Boss out to pasture and begin the search for a new vacuum. My FIL had a new Dyson vacuum that he seemed to like, so I started my research there. Boy, am I glad other reviewers recommended in their reviews to check out the Miele vacuums instead!I live in a four story Colonial (basement is "unfinished", but we have rugs down where the washing machine is) and our walk-up attic was just refinished with wall-to-wall carpeting. On the other two "main" floors, it's mostly hardwood/tile and area rugs. So, we have many different floor surfaces requiring different maintenance needs! The more I researched Miele, the more I knew a canister vacuum was for me. I couldn't fathom trying to carry a heavy upright up and down all the different levels in my house. I found a local appliance store that sold Mieles and went to look at them myself. We bought one soon after through Amazon.Here's what I like most about the Miele:1. The retractable cord. It's a pet-peeve of mine that more appliances don't have this feature! And although the cord isn't super long, it's enough to do a room (at least in my house) and then unplug it to do another room.2. The quietness. I just had a second baby and was worried about how I was going to keep the house clean with coordinating TWO nap…

Solid product, well constructed. Has considerable cleaning power. Light weight compared to other brand canister vacuums of similar size. Noticeably quieter than most. You can feel the quality difference. Long after you forget what you paid for your Miele, you will still enjoy the quality of a decision well-made.

"researcher" (United States) - See all my reviewsI know alot of people would balk at the idea of paying this much for a vaccum cleaner, understandably so. Quite honestly, I spent a long time weighing my options and researching for this purchase. In the end I went with this one because of the quality, the warranty and how well it worked.Previously owned a Hoover Windtunnel upright, and there is just simple no comparison, in fact the Hoover is joke. It was a complete tank of a machine, hard to move around, attachments were useless and you could not fit into alot of areas. And in the end, it did was not even close to as effective at cleaning floors, which is really all that matters.The reasons for going with the Miele:How effectively it cleans floors! My carpets never looked so good, my hardwood and tile were never to easy to clean.Long-term investment. You might get sick of a Miele vacuum before it breaks on you.Technology inside is second to none.Tried and true design, German engineering and quality. The parts have a nice feel to them, thick plastics, horse-hair brushes. Nothing felt cheap, or loose or flimsy.Exceptionally quiet.Size of the machine is small, but make no mistake it is incredibly powerful. About the best feature I have noticed so far about this machine, going from an upright, is the ability to get into tight spaces I could not before.Controls…

Have my Miele for one year now and I am totally satisfied. It has worked without a hitch since the day I took it out of the box. Was the replacement of my former vertical Hoover, which had a strong suction power and was easy to use on floors, but was a pain to use for any other purposes. It was so poorly designed that it was useless for anything else but floor vacuum cleaning (and let me add a word about the poor plastic quality, that broke almost everytime I hit something).Got my Miele with the SEB 217-3 Direct Connect Powerbrush. Very light and maneuverable powerbrush that has excellent suction power. I use it for carpet as well as tiles. What I like the most about this device is that it does not scatter the dust (like the cat litter on the floor) everywhere, as the powerbrush of my Hoover did. Now, I get no more litter specks on my feet when I clean the cat litter area.As others said, the vacuum cleaner itself is light, very maneuverable (three 360' rotating wheels) and SO QUIET compare to my Hoover and yet, the suction power of the Miele is as good as the Hoover. Thanks to the HEPA filter, the air that comes out of the Miele is much, much cleaner than my Hoover. Dustbag is easy to change, the accessories compartment is easy to reach and the compartment lid stay closed when you clean (which was not the case on my Hoover!). The powercord unwinding and rewinding mechanism feels so strong that it seems almost unbreakable. Finally, the storage of the vacuum cleaner is made easy…

Throw out your Dyson's, Kenmore's, Eurek's, and Hoover's this is the best suction you will ever experience in a light weight vacuum. Dog hair, stairs, tile, wood floors, furniture, car, and yes my garage floor is no challenge for this vacuum. I am extremely happy with this new vacuum and recommend it to everyone.Another bonus was a great surprise the reseller of this vacuum came from the Vacuum Center family owned and operated sine 1978 by the Brownfield's of Gilroy CA. Their history and business reputation is outstanding.

This is the best vacuum we've ever had by far. It truly works as advertised and three things stand out. First, the unit, while fairly heavy, is very easy to maneuver due to the swivel head that works every bit as well as, if not better than, the widely advertised "ball" units. Second, it is quiet but powerful! Third, the softer wheels are very quiet on wood or travertine floors. We have a housecleaner and I work out of my home office. Whenever she's here and vacuuming I hardly notice her. This was most definitely not the case with the two or three previous vacuums that put up a real racket.In additoin, the L.E.D. headlight is very cool and the cord is unbelievably flexible and LONG!I have one issue that just came up, which is bit of a surprise since the vacuum is only 3 1/2 months old. The handle suddenly will not go full upright (when ready to put it away). I'm sure this is covered under warranty and will be an easy fix. Still, this is a 5-star machine in every respect but the one anomaly. It is worth every penny we paid for it.

My husband and I are really happy with this purchase. We bought it about three months ago after quite a lot of research. I have always purchased Kenmore vacuums in the past and was tired of replacing them every 4-5 years. I prefer the canister style because it is easy to maneuver. This one is especially lightweight and the red color is nice. We live in a three story house with two stories of wood and one story of carpeting. This model works equally well on both surfaces. We knew we wanted to go with a Miele because of their reputed durability. The parts for this vacuum are quite solid. These are of superior quality to our Kenmores. We didn't go with one of the lower priced models in the range because they didn't seem to have the components we wanted for cleaning our carpets. This was the lowest price model Miele made which works equally well on both smooth and carpeted floors. We did look at the higher end models in the extensive range, but this model seemed quite good when comparing price and features. I really like how all the attachments easily store on the body of the canister so I can quickly change out parts as needed. People have mentioned not liking the short cord. It is shorter than our old vacuums, but I've been okay with it. The light weight of the unit makes it quite easy to carry up and down stairs.
