Until I actually had the chance to use one of their unique canister creations, I wasn’t familiar with them either. After using it, however, I believe the Europeans are ahead of the curve with this stylish workhorse called the S5580 Aquarius.

As an allergy sufferer, vacuuming is often even more of a chore due to my watery eyes and sneezing. The Capri blue Miele powerhouse not only gets my floors clean, it also keeps my allergies in check with its Sealed System™ and HEPA filter. A new silence setting combines low noise output with the appropriate power level, while the ergonomic handle swivels nicely to greatly improve maneuverability.

This Miele canister vacuum is an excellent, lightweight choice if you have lowpile carpeting and smooth flooring.

The Miele S4210 Antares offers a convenient six-position dial suction control. Controls range from 200 watts to 1200 watts.

The 3.5-quart capacity Intensive Clean Plus dustbag provides 15% improved filtration and 20% longer suction performance. Impact foil prevents sharp-edged objects,such as pine needles, glass and sand, from penetrating the bag. Automatic dustbag closure ensures hygienic removal and disposal.

My floors have never been so clean in the 16 years I have lived in my current home. I have mexican tile, pergo floors and carpet and the two attachments that come with the machine are incredible.

I have had machines break bits off themselves in the past because of my mexican tile (very uneven surface) and with the parquet floor head it is just a breeze to clean and it also does my concrete patio floor. Amazing and then the head can be washed and away you go again.

Your oriental rugs with fringe are no obsticle for this vaccum because you have so many controlled settings to clean with.
