Miele S5280

Great suction, and very quiet. There are six power settings - the more powerful the suction, the greater the noise, but even on the highest setting, it is still very reasonable. The parqet attachment is great for the wooden floors, and the standard head is super for everything else. Neat and tidy, with 3 tools (crevice, upholstery and curtain attacments) under a lid on the body. Light and easy to use on stairs. I have been using 3-4 times per week for over a month now, and still has great suction, haven't had to change the bag yet - and that's with 3 small children and 2 cats! - although I do sweep the wooden floors often rather than vacuuming. The hose swivels flat, so the cleaning heads can be pushed right under furniture. I have also used the cat and dog model which is practically the same, but with different head attachments (a small turbo brush instead of the big one, and no parquet attachment).

Can't think if any - I really like this model. It is such an improvement on my last vacuum cleaner, that I have nothing bad to say about it.

Very well built, feels like quality, amazing suction power, came with three heads, one having a beater bar in it, great for on the carpet, very easy to use and smart design to put away, I love that it's got bags, as I find bagless very messy, all in all absolutly love it!! Before buying, I looked for reviews on-line and didn't find anything very helpful - I would recommend this vacuum to anyone!

None, I love it!

Easy and hygienic bag removal. Very effective suction plus display to indicate how clean surface is.

Hoovering stairs - optional extended hose would be good so machine could be left on ground floor.

1. Wonderfully quiet 2. Smooth movement across floors and carpets 3. Great choice of heads for different purposes

1. The bags are clearly made of quality material but seem a little expensive as they don't last so very long. 2. The machine rolls over sometimes when you turn around to go in another direction 3. The switch on the head, to move from brush to brushless, does not go from one to the other very smoothly. I usually have to bend down and do it with both hands.

Manoverable and versitile in cleaning the services, especially in awkward areas,e.g. under chairs and small areas, compared to an upright vaccum which i'm used to using. Clean the carpets and hardfloors well. Good array of tool attachments for all environments. Impressed in the asthetics especially the satin effect of the blue colour. Useful to have a silencing mode for those times when wanting to vaccum clean whilst the baby is asleep......although it might still disturb the baby whilst asleep, have'nt tried this out yet in case it does.

It is harder work to use in vaccumming compared to an upright, in respect to pushing the head backwards and forwards......although I have not tried the head with wheels yet. Would be useful not to have to buy bags.

Great cleaning power, light to move and carry, SO quiet in operation, non-lurid colour, on-board tools are accessible and useful, positive click-together fitments much better than push-fits on other machines, superb bagging system.

cost of bags

This product is an excellent answer to all the questions Dyson,Electrolux and Hoover users might ask about Miele, By this I mean is it better than the noisy, clumsy Dyson cleaners? Yes and better than most other brands too. Well engineered ,stylish and very easy to use. Buy one if it's a cylinder cleaner you want.

None really.

Lighter than most. Easy to carry upstairs. Picks up hairs and threads that my previous vaccum did not.

Blows out hot air.

Easy to carry around. The turbo head is good for the stairs and those stubborn cat hairs.

The Turbo head is hard to remove to change back to the normal head.

does exactly what it claims. excellent pick up easy to use tools easy to carry and store

Great suction, quiet, comes complete with all the tools you need (on board) and a turbo head as well.... oh, and the pipe is easy to get obstructions out of!

A slightly less effective cord rewind might stop the plug clattering round your ankles

excellent build quality, very powerful suction and its variable suction from 300 watts to 2200 watts, storage tools neatly tucked away in cleaner, very quite Evan on full power and easy to carry around, overall this vacuum is better then all the over priced cheaply built dysons ive had over the years. Miele is pure quality.

I thought a turbobrush was included, but is not will have to buy that seperate

I've only ever had an upright hoover until I bought this little gem. It's brilliant, light and easy to move and is as powerfull as you need it, as it has a variable power setting.

None that I have found yet!

Amazing suction

quite heavy

Relatively quiet Variable power

Cheap plastic cover which seems to open of its own accord on occasion LED attachment appears inconsistent and inaccurate

Excellent suction, accessories, light to hold, long cable. Thoroughly recommended.

Symbols on power setting button confusing

Wonderful suction, first vacuum I have had to get rid of all dog hairs

A bit pricey, paper bags a bit expensive and not good for the enviroment!

full complete system

too many options for vacuum heads

Fabulous suction really feels like it gives flooring a really good clean. Quiet so doesn't freak the dog out. Lovely colour Easy to use and glides easily.

Wish it was bagless.

Excellent suction, easy to move, easy to change bags. Good accessories.

Price of replacement bags!! But if that's the only negative...

the suction is incredible it pulled up the carpet

Quality, lack of noise, HEPA filter, turbo brush excellent dirt pick up, ease of use

none really

Up to now suction great

Bags are expensive and don't last any time at all

This hoover rocks my world. For the first time ever, I actually want to hoover the house! It's worth every penny!

Very efficient cleaner.

Difficult to store

Reasonably quiet, powerful suction, useful cleanness/allergy indicator, light and easy to handle

Excessive static build-up causing occasional shocks

Easy to use. Fairly quiet compared to other cleaners. Very good range of brushes to choose from for all types of floor and excellent turbo head for carpets as well.

Ease of use,light

None

Stealth vacuum cleaner

a bit clunky and heavy

Excellent product..very much relieved after having nightmares with previous vacuum cleaners. And the good news is I don't need to vacuum anymore..my wife does it happily..! A bit pricy, but worth paying a bit extra.. !!

light, powerful, easy to use and trendy.

none yet

hepa filter. Compact and easy to store.

no seal to enable removal of hose for storage.

Very quiet, good sukction. Hepa filter ,tools on board .

Non

Almost makes vacuuming a pleasure...almost... Good range of attachments and really smooth and easy to use.

Shame the attachments don't fit on the telescopic extension pipe, e.g. it would be good to fit the dusting brush on so you can reach places like the corners of the ceilings to get those nasty cobwebs!

Picks up everything right to the edge of carpets. Easy to move around. Loads of cable which maakes it easy to clean the stairs.

hasn't got any

excellent suction power. very little dust comes out when using so its great for allergy sufferers

Very quiet; excellent cleaning performance

Only just reaches top stairs on a standard staircase.

Power

Not great on wooden floors

Feels robust. Has powerful suction.

The cost involved in paying for new dust bags.

easy to manouevre and use

not any yet

Picks up all the hairs in the carpet without a powerbrush Strong suction

Rolls over to easily

A superb hoover. It really does what it says it will do on both carpets and hard floors.

None.

Powerful and easy to use and I like the attachments

not a long enough electrical lead
