Miele’s dedication to quality is seen in its use of superior materials and advanced manufacturing technologies, and the longevity of their products is legendary. All Miele product must survive a ten-thousand hour endurance test, the equivalent of a life-span of 20 years, to earn the Miele stamp of approval. In the 1950’s ‘Mum does it with a Miele’ was the slogan that popularized the Miele product line, and in 1984, the Miele line came to the Americas, and the popularity rose, as Miele became the dominant, quality leader of household appliances.

 As the millenium approached, newer, more advances models such as the (link) S4 and S5 models were released, boasting superior suction and a long list of attachments to help the consumer. With sophisticated vacuum models, simple controls, attractive prices, and intensive advertising, Miele propelled itself to become one of the most high demand manufacturer of household appliances today.

This baby assembles in 2 minutes so you’ll be vacuuming in no time. The user manual is clear and concise. The vacuum is lightweight and easy to move. The 4 attachments – floor, upholstery/curtains, crevice, dust – are well-built and sufficient for most homes. It’s very quiet – so quiet that my cat didn’t run from the room! It picked up everything.

Despite being the least expensive among the Miele models, this vacuum is an absolutely great piece, better than any other vacuum I tried, including more expensive ones from other brands. It is sturdy, it is very well made, it screams quality and it does the job as an excellent vacuum should. All other brands look like garbage compared to this one. The only downside may come for those who have really big houses and would need to step up to a larger model, which in Miele terms can be a bit pricey.

Miele S4210 Carina Canister Vacuum Cleaners

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.

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.

The S251 Plus comes with a crevice tool for cleaning pesky corners and an upholstery tool for cleaning sofas and drapes. Both tools store away in a special compartment built into the Plus. A dusting brush is also included for baseboards (How do they get so dusty so fast?) and other dusting needs. It comes with a 7-year warranty for its suction motor. That’s a much better warranty than most of its competitors offer.

Pros: In a world of heavy uprights, the S251 Plus is a lightweight easy-to-us canister option that makes vacuuming an almost pleasurable experience. The ability to manually vary the suction power is a nice touch, and with 1200 watts at its disposal, this little Miele has incredible suction.

Cons: Most manufacturers are going for that space-age look. The S251 Plus, however, looks like it could have come from the 60s. Not in a bad way, but in a retro, cool kind of way. I like it, but others may not, so I’ll list it as a con. Also, changing bags turns some people off in spite of the fact that Miele has worked hard to make the process as easy and dust-free as possible.

Miele is a name synonymous with quality. The S251 Plus, though quite basic in comparison to their other products, is a quiet, powerful and reliable vacuum. If you’re anything like me, you’ve grown weary of pushing around a hulking upright. I wanted something easy to maneuver, but that still had the power I need. The Miele S251 Plus delivered. Once you experience it for yourself, you’ll be a believer, too.
