Vacuum Cleaner Comparisons

If you are the type who likes to spend money indiscriminately with no thought as to the quality or durability of the product you are spending it on then the Miele S251 Plus is not the vacuum cleaner for you. A marvel of German engineering, the S251 Plus is too good a product to be just another purchase – another notch on your credit card. In all seriousness, the Miele name has come to stand for quality construction and powerful performance. The S251 is no exception. 1200 watts of power increase the airflow to 118 cubic feet per minute. This makes child’s play of removing dirt and debris from your carpets. Maneuverable and astonishingly light, it has quickly become, in the eyes of my wife, the smarted decision I have made in a long, long time. [Read more →]

I’ll admit it. Before I started researching vacuums online, I had never heard of Miele or used any of their products. After using the S5980 Capricorn, however, I am singing the praises of this German made canister vacuum. With finger tip controls for the six-levels of power and HEPA filtration to make vacuuming easier for allergy and asthma sufferers, this Miele is a pleasure to use. [Read more →]

Some people think canister vacuums are a thing of the past, akin to pet rocks and leg warmers. Truth be told, plenty of companies still manufacture canister vacuums. Among the best are those built by German company, Miele. With the quality you would expect of German engineering and a sleek European design, the Miele S4210 Capella stands out from the competition. This lightweight canister vacuum allows you to control suction via a rotary dial on the canister itself. With the dial you can use between 200-1200 watts of power coming from the Capella’s 1200 watt, high-output Vortex Motor System™. [Read more →]

The motor-driven Power Brush deep cleans carpets, yet also performs well on bare floors. A smooth floor brush is perfect for sweeping hardwood and tile floors. Its soft bristle design aids cleaning and prevents scratching your floors. I was surprised to discover (after a few months of use) that the S251 Plus is one of Miele’s more basic models. I honestly can’t imagine needing anything above and beyond this fine model, but apparently Miele makes quite a few with more bells and whistles. I prefer the simple satisfaction that is my S251. Its three wheels (as well as the hose) swivel 360 degrees, making it the most maneuverable vacuum I have ever owned. I tell you, nothing is as frustrating as trying to get one of those upright vacuums under certain pieces of furniture. [Read more →]
