    There are lots of models of Mieles, but now on our second Miele vacuum in thirty years, I recommend one of the mid to lower range models. They all have superior double filtration systems, even the non-HEPA models. Then after that, it’s a matter of what kind of floors you have. Hardwood with oriental rugs? In that case you definitely do not want one of the super duper power-beater head models. The suction-driven rotary brush is plenty effective for extracting pet hair from your cherished hand-knotted or old flat weave rugs. Ditto upolstered furniture and/or the curtains.

    OTOH, if you are blessed with ankle-deep, real wool wall-to-wall, by all means go for the power head unit.

    Around my house (we’re hardwood and I guess the term is “area rugs” types), the Miele gets used for everything, including the kitchen and bathrooms, dusting book shelves, basically cleaning whatever is not actually grimy or wet. It even gets pressed into helping brush a well-loved long haired dog–the theory being it’s more efficient to get the hair at the source than from wherever it may land on the rugs and furniture, but this topic remains under discussion.

    Our current machine has been going strong for a dozen years. If and when it dies, we’ll get another. Sure, we’ve checked the Dyson and all those plastic-fantastic units that want to show-off just how much dust they are sucking up, and the consensus here is that the Miele does a better job, runs as quiet–if not quieter–and simple, clean design is definitely easier on the eyes. The canister Mieles are also sufficiently light and compact that there’s no point in having a min-vac or electric floor sweeper clutter up the cleaning closet. The Miele does the small jobs just fine, and I always get a kick out of the way the power cord obliging retreats into the machine with just a light tug to nudge it started.

    The only possible downside is that one does have to keep buying special bags not normally available at Safeway. Real Miele bags have their fans, but they are spendy. Myself, I stock-up on a decent quality knock-off bag once or twice a year at most. You can easily order them here on Amazon or via eBay. Being a “Prime” Amazon member, I find I rarely bother with eBay looking for bargains. The Prime two-day shipping makes waiting a week for something to inch across the country too annoying.

    I feel like I’ve never vacuumed until I met this machine, November 23, 2012

    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 get re-entered into the air on a bagless. There are multiple videos I watched online with particle meters and dyson’s kicking out 10 or 20x more pollutants than it was containing. Yet the Miele’s were getting these meters down to 0!

    After seeing the quality of these and reading countless reviews of people loving miele, as well as claims the vacuums last 20 or 30 years, the idea of spending $400 on a vacuum started to grow on me.

    I was looking at some lower models of miele’s but I wanted to see them in person first and the local vacuum store only had the quartz as the cheapest model. On the phone the guy already offered me a price $50 lower than the third party seller on amazon and offered a free box of miele bags! (Parma Vacuum in parma ohio if anyone is in the area). I bought this, took it home and was utterly amazed. So this is what a quality, german engineered/made vacuum is all about, I said to myself. You will read about all the nice features, including the 360 degree wheels, simple click atachments, easy change bags, etc. What I will tell you is this thing does work! it is awesome! it gets everything off of my floors in one pass, and is amazing around the edges, no pulling out a small attachment to do edges/corners anymore. The operating noise is fanastic, even on the loudest level, i can still talk to people or hear the tv. utterly amazing. I was highly skeptical but I’m sold and now a miele fanatic, the next vacuum I buy for myself or for anyone else will be a miele. If you are considering this, go for it, it is the Rolls Royce of vacuums.

    One word of caution, This vacuum uses two filters, a motor filter and an air filter. They do an amazing job and are part of why this thing will last so long. And when you buy a box of bags, these filters come with it. If you do get this vacuum, don’t cheap out and buy the knock off bags. The miele bags/filters are of superior quality. If you buy a car that requires 93 gasoline, are you going to cheap out and buy 89 because it works and it seems like there is no difference? I know i wouldn’t.

    Quartz Worth Its Weight In Gold, September 18, 2012

    Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
    This review is from: Miele S6270 Quartz Canister Vacuum Cleaner (Misc.)
    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 ex-husband after our split, and while it was a good vacuum, I didn’t want another upright vacuum (they’re heavy, bulky, and I find them harder to maneuver) and I really didn’t want to deal with another bagless vacuum. Cleaning out the dust canister was a disgusting job, and would be impossible if I had any allergies or asthma myself.

    So, after considering some of the options, and some of the mixed reviews on other brands, I finally looked at Miele again. One of the things I like the most is that all of their models use the same 1200 watt motor. Buying the cheaper model doesn’t make you feel like you’re losing out on power. Extra money buys you more features, but I wasn’t in need of a lot of those (powered floor tools etc. for flooring I don’t have.) The Quartz is listed as ideal for the type of flooring I have (hard floor/low-med pile rugs & carpet), and is also the least expensive of the Miele models that came with the sealed system construction, very important to me with an allergy sufferer/asthmatic. It has a bag, and while there’s the added cost of the bags, so far I’ve vacuumed a lot (including lots of crunched up kid cereal and tracked cat litter) and the bag is still not even halfway full after a month. When you open up the vacuum, the bag seals off the hole, so no dust spillage either.

    The canister is small and surprisingly light (my 4-year-old can lift it), and it maneuvers very easily. It doesn’t make a lot of noise, though the cats are still not thrilled about it. I like the clip that you can put the floor tool into for a break, so you don’t need to prop it against a wall or furniture. While I’m sure that the filter it comes with is probably perfectly fine, I did buy the separate HEPA filter due to the allergic asthmatic in the household. The air the vacuum expels is super clean, you can put your face in it and not notice any dust at all. It’s wonderful.

    I really couldn’t be happier with this purchase. The option through Amazon for 0% financing if paid in 6 months sealed the deal and made the price tag less of a lump to swallow.
