• THIS THING IS THE REAL DEAL.
  Unlike many of the other vacuums on the market which are made of cheap plastic and designed to last only a couple of years, this vacuum is very well engineered and put together. They use much better polymers in their parts and the whole thing is clearly well built. It's more expensive than others but worth every penny. I actually like vacuuming now! It's sooooo quiet compared to others I've heard and the sound it does make is much more pleasing that the high pitched noise usually heard. What an improvement from the $500 Electrolux we used to have. I can actually hear the stereo playing now when I work.
  
  One of the best features of this vac is the head for hard floors. It has a ball joint on it that allows you to control the head as if it were your own hand at the end of the wand. You've really got to try it to believe it. Before you shell out money for any other vac, you've got to make it to a dealer and give it a try. I walked into the dealer thinking I wanted a Riccar or a Sebo or a Dyson, or maybe one of the better Hoovers, but was totally convinced after just 5 minutes with the Miele.
  
  I negociated with a local dealer and was able to get the larger carpet head instead of the smaller one that usually comes with this model for the same price ($800). Some people may prefer the smaller head to get into smaller spaces, but I liked the bigger one as it's more substancial and covers more area in one pass.
  
  Either way, you will ***LOVE*** this machine. ...more info
• This thing ROCKS!
  Ok, I know - it's just a vacuum, but if you're like me and have gone through 4 or 5 other vacuums and have always been disappointed - I guarantee you: the Miele will not let you down. You can see online demonstrations of it's sealed canister system at YouTube, which for allergy sufferers or others concerned about vacuums that just recirculate the dirt, is of utmost importance. But beyond that, this is just one beautiful little machine. If you've shelled out hundreds for a Dyson only to be disappointed by it's flimsy plastic construction, you will be impressed by the Miele. Every piece is solid - especially the wand which is so sturdy and well crafted it feels more like a precision built part for a fighter jet than a part for a vacuum. The only downside to this sturdy construction is that it does make the wand a bit heavy, but I will take that over flimsy construction any day. I have had vacuums so loud you couldn't hear the phone ring if it was right next to you - this one is so amazingly quiet you'll think that it can't possibly have good suction, but it does! Quiet, powerful, with a sealed container, true HEPA filtration and a cloth bag (not paper) which self seals when you remove it from the canister as well as unbelievable construction make this vacuum worth every penny!...more info
• Great vacuum
  This vacuum has been great so far. It is very quiet and although I did not consider noise level to be important, I wish that I had a Miele when my children were small (napping). I use this along with a Roomba and my floors have never been cleaner. DO NOT BUY AN ELECTROLUX. I have always owned them but they sold their name to another company. Sadly, I own two newer ones. They are junk now and will be going into the trash. I cannot speak to the longevity of the Miele, but I can tell you it is very well made and it is the best vacuum for hardwood floors I have ever used. I did not get the "turbo" brush so I do have to push a little harder when cleaning rugs, but it is gooD exercise!...more info
• Great for Low-Medium pile carpets, not thicker carpets
  This economy level Miele model, as all the same cleaning ability as the more expensive models, Aquarius, and Capricorn, just without the electronic controls. The machine comes packaged with their mid-size power nozzle, the 217-3. This nozzle is great for medium-low pile carpets, and cleaning bare floors. This nozzle is so versitale you won't have to switch cleaning head going from your rugs to your bare floor, just simply flip the switch on the hose. The only surface this nozzle struggles on is the thicker carpets. You will feel like you have just worked out in the gym for 30 minutes, if you have to vacuum thick carpet with this nozzle. If you have thick carpets, or substantial pet hair, you'll want to move into a machine that comes with the larger 236 power nozzle. We have sold Miele's for long time, and we don't hesitate to put our name behind them. The best canister money can buy! Expect 25+ years of use out of this vacuum....more info
• Small, quiet and powerful -- It's a winner!
  After driving my family insane shopping for vacuums I finally settled on the Miele. I purchased a Dyson DC21, but returned it in the first week due to its poor construction. I was close to buying a Sears cannister, but was concerned about the poor quality and I thought that it was noisy and heavy. I had heard that Miele was the best and quite honestly didn't want to spend upwards of $800 for a vacuum. But, after spending an hour at the local vacuum store (Mr. Sweeper in W. Roxbury, MA - -they rock!!) looking at various brands and talking with one of the sales people I finally settled on the Miele.
  I have to admit -- it is a really great vacuum. It is extremely powerful and still very quiet. It rolls easily around the house and with the long hose and cord it has an incredible reach. The HEPA filtration is so good that I think the air is actually cleaner after I vacuum.
  Other features that I like:
  * It is solid! The plastic is the same material used to make motorcycle helmets and you can swing the unit by the cord it's so well attached.
  
  * The exhaust is on the top so it doesn't spread dust around as you sweep.
  
  If you can afford the cost, I highly recommend it....more info
