Miele S 5260 Cat & Dog 5000 Reviews: , Cylinder, Bagged Vacuum cleaner

+ 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.

+ It does hoover up hair better than other hoovers.

- the bag fills very qickly and it is quite heavy.

- The only bad point I feel is the design of the tools compartment lid - it is very flimsy.

+ excellent performance but design quite old fashioned

+ Very powerful and effective,

- Bit noisy

+ 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.

+ Excellent at collecting dog hair easy to use

- Have to clean roller about once a month

+ Very good cleaning results. I find it much easier to use than an upright cleaner. The turbo head is brilliant!!

- I have not come across any yet.

+ Very good performance esp. for pet hairs

- Somewhat expensive

+ Great suction, easy to use. Puts the previous Dyson to shame.

- None yet.

+ Strong suction, adjustable suction, air powered brush beats having cable running down hose i.e Henry, good selection of attachments, just overall good quality tool

- A little expensive but you have to pay for good quality

+ Really good for animal hair, easy to monouvere and great on the stairs

+ Picks up dog hair really well

- needs bags

+ Very quite with standard head, excellent cable rewind, fantastic pick up with both standard and power heads.

- Power heads a little noisy, tool cover on top of case has a habit of popping open.

+ very powerful suction and excellent build quality

- cosmetically, not convinced that the unit will be scratch resistant

+ great machine. would highly recommend. would never buy any other make. had dyson in the pass never again.

- none

+ Good quality feel. Extending pipe is excellent. Relly does pick up the dog hairs - even in the moulting season!

- Only quibble is the bag. You can't empty it it for reuse & they're quite expensive to keep changing.

+ especially effective with dog hairs. Different size heads proves better adaptability. Easy to change bag. No bad odour when vacuuming.

- Bag must be changed quicker than expected. Bags not cheap. Body of vacuum quite heavy.

+ Picks up pet hairs well

- bags need changing quite often

+ From the moment you turn it on it's obvious this is a quality machine. It's so powerful it lifts the carpet off the floor! Of course you can turn the power down so this isn't a problem.

- It is a little on the heavy side but I expect this is because it uses quality materials..

+ Really excellent cleaning power

- heavy to carry

+ It does what is says it does. Picks up dog hairs effortlessly

+ excellent suction

- Reviewer left no comment

+ the hoover is very poerful and relly does pick up the hairs

- would be nicer if it stored a bit neater and it has a habit of not going where you want it to go

+ really good performance, picks up all dog hairs

- dust bags can be expensive

+ The hoover will do every job in the house, stairs, wooden floors, carpets, and tiled floors. The tools allow you easy work with such things as banisters and spindles, skirting boards and picture rails.

- Can't think of one bad thing to say about it.

+ very powerful and very quiet

- Reviewer left no comment

+ very good picking up dog hair with minimum effort.

- Price, and colour, always try to buy BLUE products.

+ telescopic tubes a boon. Turbo head very easy to use on carpets and picks up everything. Good tools for cleaning car upholstery and carpets.

- Bag indicator shows full all time - even when new bag fitted. Doesn't affect performance but it IS an annoyance having to check it.

+ Light is very good on hard floors also when head changed good for carpets. Found it very good for cleaning car
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

+ Very efficient and not too noisy. Well designed.

+ good extension length, good suction power better than any upright vacuun

- none

+ Excellent quality, good suction all round good performance

- None

+ Suction power , selection of heads

- power control on the older models allows progressive speed however this offers set selection only

+ Powerful suction that can be adjusted at the turn of a button, quiet and effective

- None

+ 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.

+ Great vacuum cleaner, good on carpets and ceramic floors. Nice size and easy to use.

- None so far.

+ Very good hoover with excellent suction. I have a white dog and it picks dog hair up far better than my old well know hoover.

- None so far.

+ It sucks real hard.

- none i can think of yet.

+ Excellent pick up. particularly good with the turbo accessories. It really does the job effectively. Adjustable suction for other jobs which is really useful.Long hose combined with easy castors means less effort.

- None. had a Miele previously and wouldn't look at another make.

+ Good on carpets & hard floors, excellent results

- Tool lid could be more robust in design

+ I would never go back to a Dyson, Miele have excellent build quality and great performance. It is designed to do a job and does it without compromise. The extra tools with Cat & Dog are excellent feature, even if you don't have a pet.

+ An absolutely brilliant machine. Its still only a couple of months old but the suction is great and its pretty quiet for such a powerful machine. Quality product

- None yet. I would recommend getting extended warranty. This way, you can take the hassle of any breakdown and the trouble of finding replacement bags as the warranty provides you with a years supply or at least thats what they say.

+ its light weight and easy to use.excellent power.

- lead could be longer

+ Does what it was designed for

- Slightley hard to move in its turbo state, But you expect that with the power t has.

+ really good pick up and suction excellent for pet hairs.

- none as yet

+ This product is very good with the turbo head. I have 2 dogs and a cat, and it really removes the hairs from the carpet, which other vacuum cleaners do not.

- I feel it could of done with a handle on the top to help carry it around whilst vacuuming, as opposed to dragging it around behind you by the hose.

+ All of the above

- None

+ Great suction
Lives up to what it says on the box.

- Changing the head from hard floors to carpets is quite difficult as the lever appears to be very stiff.
