|Great Vacuum – The best I’ve ever experienced,
Miele Bolero Upright S7580 (Deep Black)
I have used this vacuum for a month now. It is very quiet compared to my old Eureka. There is NO exhaust odor and my carpets are in better condition now than ever before! This vacuum is a joy to use. The swivel neck navigates the vacuum very well and with the carpet brush toggle on, the vacuum powers itself forward. Vacuuming with the Bolero is a joy, not a chore. I vacuum 3 times as often as I used to. The floor toggle lifts the roller brush allowing me to vacuum my rugs and non-carpeted floors very easily without worry that I will damage them. The long power cord means I only have to unplug and move the cord once in order to reach everywhere in my apartment (1220 sq feet apt). The ability to control the power of the suction is a great added bonus. The lower the suction, the quieter the vacuum becomes. I also like that the tool extension is aluminum. The tools themselves fit snugly into the back of the vacuum out of the way but always there. Again, this is a well designed vacuum. (I am an Apple fan and like Apple products — this vacuum appealed to me because of it’s great design as well as it’s ability to just get things done well.)
To address what the first reviewer noted, the power cord gets a little bit warm but not worrisome. My laptop gets warmer. My old vacuum cord got warm too. The exhaust is also warm, but I’ve never had a vacuum that didn’t have warm exhaust so other than commenting that it is warm (not hot) there is nothing I can add here.
The vacuum feels and looks well designed, well built, and sturdy. The slower ramp up power on motor is nice and seems well built and long lasting.
The only difference between this model and the 2 other models in this line, besides price, is that this model is in black rather than color and is lacking the hepa filter alert light. I write the date on the filter itself as the manual suggests.
I purchased this model locally because I wanted to test drive this and the Sebo. The dealer took $100.00 off and added a free hepa filter replacement, a box of bags, and 5 years of free maintenance service.
I am thrilled to have a nice looking, great working vacuum that I actually want to use.

Vacuum continues to be a pleasure. My 2 favorite things, still, are the quiet and powerful motor, and the swivel neck. I often turn the vacuum off accidently when trying to change carpet to floor, but I also enjoy the smooth ramp up of the motor… this really is a quality machine. I am also ever grateful for the upper cord winder clips after breaking my ankle (boot makes it hard to stoop) and with my growing age it’s just easier to not have to stoop or bend after cleaning for a few hours.

|WOW.,
Never thought I would be thrilled to get a vacuum cleaner. This one has everything you could want — it cleans GREAT, it is amazingly quiet, the HEPA filtering is top notch, the controls and the tools are convenient, the power cord reaches forever, the materials used in this machine are built to last, and on top of all of that, it looks gorgeous (I know, I know, it’s a vacuum!).
My one and only reservation was that it was on the heavy side. This reservation was quickly allayed when I actually used this Miele upright at home (the dealer kindly lend it to me to try at home.) The maneuverability is phenomenal. No more plowing forward and backward to move a couple inches to the left or right. Just twist your wrist and the vacuum swivels and turns on a dime. It’s *amazing* how much effort this saves!
I compared this vacuum to the Sebo Automatic X4 and the Sebo Felix. The X4 is the noisiest of the bunch, and it doesn’t swivel (which both the Felix and the Miele do), although it is a solidly great machine. The Felix is the lightest, and it swivels, but is the only one that doesn’t have automatic height adjustment, a feature that lets you vacuum right over throw rugs without the vacuum eating the rug.
Price-wise, the Felix was about $100 less than the X4 which is about $120 less than the Miele Bolero.
I ended up selecting the Miele because overall it had every useful feature and was the most convenient to use.
I like the size of the Sebo Felix, but it was a little too fussy (too many parts that come on and off) and the hose didn’t have an extension, so I couldn’t reach the cobwebs up high.
Any one of these three would be great to own. The Miele is just a little ahead in terms of features and convenience. Oh, and about the high price: I am replacing three (crappy, smelly, loud) old vacuums (Hoover, Kenmore, Eureka), and if you add up how much they all cost, I would have been better off getting the “expensive” Miele to start with. I expect it will last a very very long time.
