Vacuum Cleaner Comparisons

Miele vacuums are known to be some of the best vacuum clearners available, but as of late, Dyson has developed what seems like the more consumer friendly alternative, perhaps because of their advertising campaign. But is the Dyson really the better vacuum? Some people are led to believe that a vacuum is  only as good as its suction power, but what most people fail to realize is that they are vacuuming dust and dirt, and a lot of the time, they are spewing it back into the air while they vacuum due to poor filtration.

 ConsumerReporter, focused on researching vacuum cleaners and their quality put the Miele and Dyson up against each other, and the result was quite simple; the Dyson just does not cut it. The tests included suction power, vacuum capacity, and air filtration. The Dyson bag less vacuum has a relatively small capacity, with a canister that  can only be filled half way, and when it comes time to empty it, you are required to thrown it out into a bag. With the Miele, the vacuum canister is sealed, and the garbage is trapped inside of a bag, and all that is required of the user is to throw it away.

 Probably the most remarkable difference is the filtration. One of the comparisons was a particle filtration comparison. The tester used a particulate meter, and tested both machines. The Dyson, it was found was not sealed, and blew air out of several places, and the readings were very high, while the Miele is completely sealed except for its exhaust, and the particulate meter showed a reading of zero, true HEPA standards of trapping at least 99.98% of particles to .03 microns.

 The evidence is quite clear; Miele offers a full line of upright and canister vacuums made with high quality parts, and high standards to boot. With a Miele vacuum cleaner, you are getting some of the best machines on the market, and your quality of life won’t have to suffer for it either! With cleaning power like that and filtration as meticulous as the Miele’s HEPA filter, would you even consider the Dyson?
