Miele S5981 Capricorn Canister Vacuum with Mid-sized Power brush SEB 217

 

As Miele's top-of-the-line luxury vacuum, the Capricorn is packed with convenient features for hassle-free vacuuming. We really love how you can control everything right at your fingertips. Not to mention, how easy it is to assemble the vacuum,...

The fingertip controls for suction speed, power on/off, and brush roll on/off are easy to use and conveniently located on the deluxe handle for effortless operation. The LED indicator below the controls makes it easy to know what suction speed you are...

Miele's crevice tool is not as long as we would have liked. It only offers a 4" reach where some competitors offer a full size 8" crevice tool ; Miele's dusting brush has the industry standard round design which we have found clogs easily when used on...

So Worth It!

 

Gulped and spent the $1200 for a vacuum cleaner ... and discovered it truly is worth it! It picks up more dirt, more efficiently, and has so many great features to make the process easier on the person doing the work. Much quieter than the Kenmore I...

heavy hose/power head

A major plus for me is the positioning of controls in the handle of the Capricorn model. Most convenient is the handy pause/stop action button. i use this button every time i need to move something while i am vacuuming and only want to pause for a...

Great Hepa Vacuum

 

I brought this vacuum to replace another Hepa vacuum that I have had for about 10 yrs. (Different company) I needed a more powerful power brush for carpets.

cord too short, power brush keeps turning off when upright

too much vacuum for my home! I purchased this vacuum, with the larger power brush, a couple of months ago and am more than satisfied with the purchase. The HEPA sealed feature has made a huge difference. With our other, non-sealed Miele, my husband...

reliable, effective, high quality, met my expectations, quiet, easy to use

Okay, so it's a bit more than the best of the other brands but once you own a Miele, you will never go back. It will certainly outlast any other brand.

Consumer review by:

Miele S5981 Capricorn Canister Vacuum Cleaners

 

After weeks of deliberation, I finally broke down and ordered the Miele Capricorn. Although I still can't believe I actually spent over a thousand dollars on a vacuum cleaner - I can honestly say it was worth every penny. It's incredibly quiet, it's...

high quality, effective, quiet, reliable, easy to use, met my expectations

wish the cord was longer

Consumer review by:

Miele S5981 Capricorn Canister Vacuum Cleaners

 

I got this vacuum after the third vacuum that I got locally had given p on me and I'm extremely happy. It's funny; when I first turned it on I didn't hear the loud noise that's so common in other vacuums so I thought something was wrong with it but I...

high quality, effective, quiet, reliable, easy to use, no dust blowing around
