Erin, London, UK

+ 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!

+ 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

Kathy, Cramlington

+ 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.

Lesley, Perth , “Dedicated Miele user”

+ 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.

Stuart, Birmingham

+ 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.

Dave, Ulverstpn

+ 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.
