Great product quiet and efficient. It does the job well.
No real bad points other than expensive replacement dust bags.

Very effective vacuum - first rate on hard floors. Light to carry around. Bags seal well making changing them clean and healthy.
Due to a great vacuum it is difficult to move on carpets but cleans deep. Cost of replacement bags a bit pricey.

Great pick up. I've had many vacuum cleaners in the past, even a Dyson, and the Miele is the best performer. I have a yellow labrador and a red carpet (which seems to be made from velcro) and the Miele picks up all the hair magnificently. The filter replacement (replace after so many bags and you get a filter with each box of bags) is very easy to follow.
the narrow attachment is not long enough.

Excellent machine. Previously owned a Dyson & a Hoover but both went wrong. This machine was more expensive than I could have purchased but it is like a Mercedes or Audi, the general build quality & performance warrants those extra few pennys in the long run.

Excellent machine - nice and light but does the job perfectly. After a few useless models from other manufacturers I'm glad I spent the extra for a Miele
I would have liked an automatic rewind on the cable.

Quiet. Picks up what's needed in my particular house with its wooden and tiled floors and small amount of carpeting.
As I have arthritis in the wrists I find it just a little heavy when manouvering in smallish spaces, but other products are much much worse!

Excellent suction, I bought a second one after my old one burnt out after a huge amount of use. I would 100% recommend!
Quite heavy but I guess all cylinder hoovers are quite heavy.

Powerful suction. Simple and quick to use. Well balanced. stores well for cylinder type. basic but effective tools -- good for leaning out car. bags seems to last good time
No bad points but still early days

Quiet, Amazing suction, Variable power level control to suit all jobs. Well designed and made. Knocks the spots off the 'bagless' cleaners.
None really, bags could be cheaper, but they last ages, and are easy and clean to change.

Looks good and stores away neatly. Good performance. Light, compact and easy to move. Much prefer bags to bagless! Generally very simple to use - no gimmicks just good design.
Only very minor niggles - Slightly tricky to put tools back in their slots (especially getting the upholstery brush at the right angle!).

Very powerful don`t need to run at full power. Easy to glide around with you. Might be a bit heavy if you have stairs which I don`t. Really pleased with my Miele
Have not found any yet have not changed a bag yet.

It's surprisingly compact, has a very efficient suction system that is speed variable and feels like it's built to last. This is the third one I've bought, people keep borrowing them and never bring them back! Small things like the mains lead is actually very long and when you press the rewind lever for the mains cable, all of it rewinds back into the case. Also, it doesn't look like a something from a Transformers movie.
None that I can think of.

Very powerful Moves very easily in all directions Retractable power cable. The best hoover I have ever owned, much better than certain design icon bagless hoovers I won't mention! Excellent value for money.
I haven't a single negative thing to say about this product.

very manoueverable - good powerful suction and very light to carry about.
changing heads can be awkward as you cannot simply push them on and off - you have to hold them up and click the release button.

Pampaul, Lancs
This is the first time I've bought a cylinder type. Versatile (curtains plus carpets)and generally better than uprights.
No bad points except that we find the cleaning head / nozzle harder to push across the floor than an upright. But won't go back to the other type.

Good powerful vacum cleaner and good value for money. Brush attachment very good in that it goes right up to the skirting board, with only occasional need to resort to the crevice tool. Very long flex. Also lots of other useful looking attachments available - I may get the upholstery cleaner.
Not the lightest vacum, but manageable. Only other downside is that Miele dustbags aren't commonly available in supermarkets to I have to remember to keep a stock in.

good price and very reliable; miele hoovers are built to last because my previous miele lasted 10 years without any major problems. you really wont need all the fancy brushes that come with some of the more expensive miele models - this one has a good range that comes with it and is perfectly adequete for a (pet-free) house;
the pipe slot does not have a sliding dust cover for when you are not using the hoover,

Powerful, and very practical with it being able to be placed flat on ground or upright, which was good for stairs. All tools all kept inside machine, so was helpful. Nice long lead as well.
Couldn't find any!

Sam, London
Very good powerful suction - lasts for months with no immediate need to change bag. Excellent ergonomics - ease of use - quick turn of the knob and desired suction is there. Design is compact (but not too compact - this vacuum can handle a big flat or house with ease) and pleasing on the eye. Timeless design will not look out-dated in a hurry. Build quality is second to none - particularly the metal suction housing with its positive clicking action. Unbelievably quiet - unless on most powerful setting which is not even necessary to use as the middle settings are powerful enough anyway... An excellent product - highly recommended!
Outer housing is very good quality and looks great - but can scratch easily. Foot switch on base plate could be easier to flick between hard floor and carpet function.

Powerful unit thats still quite light compared to some. Not as noisy as some and it out performs the Dyson which is now sitting in the cupboard. Tool storage is neat and easy so you dont lose them.

Awesome sucking power, decent build quality.
Needs a matt finish rather than gloss as the gloss top looks scruffy very quickly.

Martin, Bishop's Stortford
Virtually everything about this machine is top notch especially the materials used. So much better than the competition in all regards
The only minor criticism is the locking mechanism for the pop-up canopy hiding the tools. The tools have to be sitting in EXACTLY the right position for the canopy to lock down.

Very pleased with this cleaner, certainly the best cleaner i have Very pleased indeed with this cleaner and worth the extra money compared to the price of some cleaners you can buy. I am also very pleased with its performance and picks the bits up superbly. I was also swayed to this cleaner as it was given a great plus in Which.
The only thing I can put in this part and its not really a bad point, is it is slightly heavier than what I have used in the past. But you only really have to lift it to get it up stairs or where you want to be with it.

Solid, good range of settings (from very quiet with still decent suction, to slightly noisy - floor lifting suction!).
Expected Miele to offer a longer warranty given their products reputation for sturdiness and the extra price you pay.
