If you're looking for a new vacuum cleaner, then you need look no further! We wish we had bought one of these ears ago! We used to have a Dyson - yes it was a pretty good at picking up awkward things like hair on carpets, but it sounded like a Boeing 747 and had reliability issues... indeed I remember seeing a review somewhere by a person who swears by them, saying how reliable they were, yet by their own admission they got through 5 Dysons in 7 years! Then along comes this attractively priced Miele cleaner with excellent build quality that looks and feels like it will last many years, and more suction power than anything we've ever seen, yet pleasingly quiet - at lower power settings the motor is almost a whisper, and you can still pick up those awkward hairs / strands of cotton. Even better - a plaster of Paris ornament fell off the wall, with a fragment falling under my swivel chair - without realising it, every time I sat down a wheel was grinding the fragment into a fine powder, deep into the carpet - it was embedded into the fibers so much that I thought I was never going to get it out, but this cleaner removed it all in a couple of passes without even needing the nozzle attachment.
So... perhaps you're thinking there is a downside - this cleaner uses bags - so what! You can easily re-use them - either by a slightly more time consuming way of pulling the contents out through the inlet hole, or much quicker: cutting the bag open along the seam at the "base", and resealing it by folding the end back over itself, and using a cut-to-size binder spine clip to clamp it shut. I have reused the same bag 3 times so-far without any problems whatsoever. I'm a bloke - typically for my gender I usually hate vacuuming - however this machine makes it so painless that I actually enjoy vacuuming now!
Pros:
1) Top Quality at low price - built to last.
2) Excellent air filter - no detectable dust or odors - although if you want, you can easily get hold of HEPA air filters and upgrade it for much less than the retail HEPA model. The air it emits will then be clean to laboratory standards!
3) Very quiet - the only time it makes real noise is when you put the nozzle attachment on and use the cleaner at full power - the motor might still be quiet, but with so much air-flow it sounds like a hurricane!
4) Internal storage compartment for tools.
5) Compact build, easy to carry around and store.
Cons - none, other than the compact size and internal tools storage means slightly smaller dust bag - but on the other hand the excellent suction means dust is a lot more compressed in the bag, so it can last 4 or 5 months before needing replacement (or emptying as above!).

......then you will like and probably be impressed with the Miele S5211 Bagged Cylinder Vacuum. As one has come to expect from this manufacturer, it is of sturdy but elegant design, and in the league of performance very near, if not at the head of the tables. It does what it is supposed to - suck up dirt, and dust etc that lies in it's path with a veracious appetite. No complaints, whatsoever with regards to this machine's efficiency as a vacuum cleaner.
My concern lies in it's negative ease of use as opposed to an upright cleaner, for more senior users. My wife and I are in our late 60's and are by no means incapacitated yet thank goodness, but have a reducing level of strength and physical flexibility commensurate with our age, and find that a cylinder cleaner (and this is our first) markedly more tiring to get out of the cupboard and to the cleaning site, setting up for use, the actual use itself, and the re-storing after use - all involving bending, pulling and lifting. It's not monumentally strenuous but considerably more than that involved in using an upright vacuum. It also takes up a bit more space than an upright for storage purposes, which restricts the places suitable for keeping it in.
Methinks a younger persons machine.

This vacuum cleaner is worth every penny, the suction is unbelievable, I purchased some generic (Non Meile) bags which have very slightly decreased the suction however they still do a cracking job, the only downside is that I live in a rented property where the landlord didn't lay the carpets properly and the vacuum cleaner quite often lifts the edges up from the skirting boards and I have to tuck them back in again.

Sucked dirt from my floor
I plugged this in and passed the black end-bit all over my floor. It sucked all the dirt from the ground into a paper bag sitting inside.

Don't bother
If you've got anything more than basic carpets then do not get this or the smaller S4211 model. I purchased the S5211 based on the glowing reviews everywhere and am frankly very... Read more
