+ Good suction and cleaning ability. Good value as purchased when discounted, quite expensive otherwise however a good cleaner, far better than my previous bagless hoover. Tackles long soft dog hair easily.

- pretty small bag

+ Turbo brush is really helpful on the carpet.
Really good suction!
Replaces my 18 year old Miele Vaccuum cleaner, which still worked, but the plastic bits were failing.

- I fear the plastic lid may break up as did my previous cleaner, long before the motor does.

+ Nice looking and has lots of tools hidden inside the case. Like the silent feature.

- Thought it would be much lighter. The metal rods attached to the hose are very heavy to push around and carry. The suction is good but it doesn't pick up pet hairs as well as it claims to, it just pushes them into a pile and you have to remove the head and pick them up with the hose. It seems better on hard floors than carpet or the car. Most expensive vacuum I have bought so disappointed as thought it would be so much better.

I like the compartment with th e small tools in the house has never been so clean. It does take me longer to clean as I can do everything as I go but you cannot have it all!!!

- Having to change the heads over when I want to do carpets with animal hairs on. As I have a mixture of hard floors and rugs. It would be great id they could find a way of incorporating the both together

+ Dog hair lifted in one go with turbo brush.. Carpet looks clean instantly.Powerful suction with the option to turn down for cutrains etc. Not too heavy. Bit of a nuisance having to change brushes for stairs. Overall no compalints and really happy with purchase previously had a dyson and reckon this cleaner is better for lifting dog hair and human hair off carpets. Dont know what way going back to a cleaner with a bag will work out but miele seem to offer a reasonable deal to supply bags.
