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.

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!

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!).

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.

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.

the pipe slot does not have a sliding dust cover for when you are not using the hoover,

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.

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.
