Miele S6270 Quartz Canister Vacuum Cleaner



Quartz Worth Its Weight In Gold
Buying a new vacuum is a tricky purchase. There are so many different things to factor in, so many different brands and models, and so many price points that you end up not wanting to buy one at all to save yourself the headache. I put off buying one for 2 years. With only hardwood and linoleum floors and no area rugs, I managed to get by with a broom, Swiffer and a mop. Eventually getting by wasn't good enough, and with 2 small children, a clowder of cats and a boyfriend with seasonal allergies and recent onset asthma, I dove back into reviewing vacuums.

Miele has always been a brand that has been recommended highly, but the price has always put me off. I've fallen into the trap of inexpensive vacuums before, and the lack of power was frustrating, and they often come with a fairly short shelf life (I've read lots of reviews of Miele owners whose vacuums went the 20 year or beyond distance before requiring a replacement.) I've had a Dyson before, which remained with my...

I feel like I've never vacuumed until I met this machine
All I've had in the way of vacuums have been cheap hoover hand me downs, of the $125 or less variety. I was never impressed with them and always found it a pain to lug these things around that don't do what they are supposed to. I recently moved into my first home which has all wooden floors or tile. I tried a "microfiber" broom that claims it traps dust, well that just pushed it around. I couldn't get the dust off the beautiful hardwood floors I just refinished so the search began for a great vacuum for hard surfaces. I searched on the internet and saw this brand initially but thought it was insane to spend so much on a vacuum, plus I've never had a canister so I didn't know if I'd like it.

I found articles saying $20 dirt devils did great on wood floors and $50 hoovers, etc, but i've had my experience with those, and all of those were bagless, which I don't care about anyone's hype (dyson), a bag is essentially a filter to trap the ultra fine particles that otherwise...

Super vacuum!
This is the quietest vacuum we have ever owned. It has great power. When you have to carry it up and down stairs you notice how lightweight it is. Miele seems to have made great improvements over the years. It moves easily around corners and has a longer cord than our old Miele. We are happy that our old attachments work with this vacuum. Our old hardwood floor brush attachment works better than the combination model that comes with the vacuum.
