The Miele S7 Series features breakthrough SwivelNeck technology that lets you steer your upright with little more than a turn of your wrist or even extend it into its unique flat-to-the-floor position. So instead of having to move furniture while cleaning, you’ll maneuver around and under it. The control and responsiveness of the S7 Series is perfectly complemented by its outstanding versatility. With an independently powered, spring-loaded roller brush, these AirClean Sealed System vacuum cleaners are capable of lifting dirt, dust and debris from the deepest pile carpets in one swift pass and then transitioning gracefully to a smooth surface, such as a polished hardwood floor.

Solid construction, made in Germany. TOTALLY AMAZING PRODUCT!!!!,
I wasted my money six months ago on a Hoover Tempo. It had been recommended by Consumer Reports which I am now starting to suspect of being highly biased towards certain brands… since that Hoover Tempo was a piece of junk. I used it 20 times and the thing broke and became completely un-usable. I didn’t even want to bother with the warranty. I’m never going to consider Hoover for anything. I had fears before getting it due to some mixed feedback including some that were poor (how can this be a CR recommended product…). It was in-expensive so that made me try it out. Pure Garbage. I decided to check out Miele since my mother in-law had highly recommended it. I checked product reviews and they were great (aside from the high price tag). This product is actually designed to last 15 years. I bet it will be the last vaccum I”ll ever have to buy. This product is heavy, it’s built solid. If you need to do a lot of cleaning in stairs and you are not a strong person this may not be so appropriate. But for bare floors to carpet, this is unbelievable. I am so glad I got this. It also doesn’t take me much time to clean up. It sucks dirt so efficiently and quietly, it’s amazing. Filters may be expensive but who cares, this makes your house smell nice, very clean and quickly. Get the cheaper blue model. Who cares about how it looks; it’s in the closet most of the time. I’m not going to be posing for GQ while I vaccum. I give my highest ratings to this product.

Miele S7210 vs. Dyson Animal,
I have a Dyson Animal and it has been my primary vacuum for the past 6 years. About 2 years ago the Dyson began to be less effective in vacuuming our carpets, which are low pile. We dust & vacuum several times per week as we have 3 kids, two huskies and a long hair cat, so having a strong reliable vacuum is paramount. To give you an idea of how much we use our vacuums, we vacuum almost daily during shedding season on both hardwoods, area rugs, stairs & carpeting. We have about 1600sf of hardwoods with a variety of rugs. Our household is a true test for a vacuum.
I clean the Dyson – all ports and points – regularly but figured maybe it needed a “tune-up” as the suction seemed almost nil. It was better upon a professional maintenance but not as great as it seemed to have once been. I “test drove” some new Dyson models and really liked the ball with the ability to get under cabinets but found the much shorter cord a hindrance and the smaller dust bin a pain to empty twice as much. I liked the Electrolux but it was bulky and I have stairs, so that wasn’t a consideration.
I have two neighbors who have sung the praises of Miele for years but I resisted due to the cost. I have a Miele dishwasher and it does an incomparable job, so I decided to research the Miele. I read a few negative items, but predominantly the reviews were strong. So I “test drove” the Miele Twist for a week. I was completely impressed with so many features I will never go back. Here are the items I think make it superior to Dyson:
1. The bottom of the vac is metal, the base has a full rubber bumper and the beater bar has an indent making it easy to cut off any strings, hair or impediments.
2. The dust bin does not need emptying – no fun with piles of dog hair. While a bit more costly, the bags really contain the dirt, dust and hair and reduces my cleaning time. Intially I loved the fact the Dyson had no bags to buy and an easy-to-empty canister, but after a while it was not just an easy chore. Emptying the canister also means cleaning the dust when you dump it, cleaning the rubber gaskets prior to reassembly to be sure suction is maintained, and being sure that all the dust gets emptied and is not stuck in the holes of the central perforated cone.
3. The Miele vacuum has a short “nose” so it can reach under cabinets & furniture easily and it can lay flat. The Dyson cannot do this.
4. The Miele has an amazing ability to turn & swivel and is VERY EASY to push.
5. The Miele has a 35 foot long cord – can reach EVERYWHERE without unplugging!
6. This Miele does not come with the HEPA filter like the models that are $300 more, but the supplied filter is a good one and can easily be replaced with the same $50 filter the other models come with.
7. The beater brush can be turned off leaving only suction, which is great if you have a delicate surface to clean.
So I splurged and kept the Miele. Having had this Miele for over month now, I can truly say that this Miele is a much better quality machine physically and performance wise. I will keep the Dyson as a back up – to use on another floor in the house. But this Miele is now used daily because of its ease of use & the clean path it leaves in its wake! I HIGHLY recommend this vacuum.
