After our Siemens VSZ3XTRM had almost given up the ghost after only 1 year and 3 months, as a roller was stopped and the vacuum cleaner tube permanently dropped from the handle (every second), I decided to reclaim the device.
Now it was time to look for a new one. At some point it occurred to me Miele under the eyes 28 positive reviews with 5 stars. The theory could not be bad.
So put a little extra cash in hand and ordered the device. Arrived, unpacked and losgelegt. At first I had some concerns, because the unit only has 1200 W, the predecessor was at 2400 W. We have 2 cats, 1 Great Dane and approximately 160sqm of living space consisting of some runners, parquet flooring and tiles, so a lot of dust which has to go. I take it in advance, the concerns were unfounded.
What could be heard the same, the Miele works really extremely quiet. After I always thought when Siemens that I live at the airport and an aircraft grade starts the engines, the Miele is pleasantly quiet even at the highest level.
In promotional video for Miele I have seen how they stuck together, the vacuum cleaner brush dust pipe to a wall, and he got stuck after the release. I had to test and fact of course, it comes. That made me a little impressed quite small. Now you need not do because really, but if so, you know that it is;)
Now he could ran for the rest of the apartment. Upside Level 2 and off we went. He has mercilessly devoured everything in what I have given to devour him. Since animals happens to bring hair (men too), there is always enough of it. These provide for the Miele but not a problem. Even otherwise, it can be perfectly affairs.
Visually see the Miele very classy, elegant design. I find him very handsome in contrast to his predecessor. The suction tube is slightly longer than the Siemens, thus I must not make crooked with my 1,92m. The cable is long enough and is fed automatically by pressing a button again. This technique works as well as in any other vacuum cleaner we had previously. The dust bag was already inserted. The vacuum cleaner tube is in my view a very high quality, the connections seem to be very robust, however, you get the high only with legal force apart. But honestly, rather than as the me that thing constantly drops. What strikes you Händling are the casters. The Miele drives not only vile straight, but somehow sideways. The dust nozzle runs pleasantly light over the floor, small runners but must be locked with the foot at Level 2, as otherwise both sticks together.
Conclusion:
Positive
- Super suction power even at low level
- Cable with hitherto perfect, brilliant, pointed excessive intake function
- Pleasantly quiet
- Large operating range, need only 2 sockets for the whole apartment
- Long intake manifold, brilliantly suited for tall people
- Extremely smooth-roll follows, at every turn
- Suction push-button controlled (with his foot), no annoying knob
- I could go on swarms, but who is not convinced now a Dyson has to pick :)
Negatives:
- Relatively expensive dust bags
- Other not there to complain about
The price / performance ratio is fabulously well. I can highly recommend the device to date.
For us, this is our little RAUMWUNDER !!!

Now, after a year, he still does what it should and absolutely reliable. We tried it in between with "appropriate" vacuum cleaner bags from other manufacturers. Because here often something went wrong, we have come to the conclusion to buy originals and thus absolutely satisfied.
a really great device and highly recommended. The best we have ever had.
