Miele S4210 Vacuum Cleaner Review

After a number of comments asking us to review the likes of Miele, Lindhaus and Sebo we have undertaken our first Miele review. Were we impressed? Well, yes actually. We typically have reviewed some of the more moderately priced brands of vacuum...

- 7 year motor warranty! ; - small ; - quite quiet ; - excellent suction power ; - decent selection of attachments (many optional however) ; - lightweight ; - easily maneuverable ; - great on bare floors

- expensive ; - power cord too short ; - certain tools must be purchased separately depending on the model of s4210 (If you have a lot of carpet consider an upgrade to the Antares or buy the additional turbobrush)

Rotating brush keeps jamming.

After the vacuum head kept jamming, I took it apart. There is hair and fluff tightly wound around all of the moving parts. I don't think this should happen and I believe it is a design fault. I have spend 3 hours getting it out. Now I can't get it back...

Excellent Vac - faultless

This vac has great suction, its easy to move around and has never failed in any way. We have owned the 4211 for many years and if it ever died we would buy another Miele in a heartbeat. Bags and filters are reasonably priced and easy to find online...

Excellent

ave no complaints. Miele is also made in Germany and well known for their advanced design and technology.

Light, compact, swivel wheels and most importantly good suction

Probably the cost of replacing the bags.

Excellent

of wear and tear. But apart from some faded paint on the dial, this still looks and works as well as the day I bought it. Well worth the money and I'll definitely buy it again next time.

Adjustable handle so you can make it taller so you don't have to stoop and cramp your lower back. Adjustable suction strengths mean you can vacuum hard surfaces (on high) and curtains and rugs (on low)-this makes the vacuum so much more effective, even...

I wish the tools were on-board so I didn't have to store them in the cupboard -but I've sort of gotten used to it.

Great value

This is a great little vacuum for carpet and also hard floors. I bought an attachment specifically for hard floors, but usually just use the one that came with it as is it easier than changing heads. Rarely need to use the highest setting and it is...

Good value, great results.

Bags are around $18 per pack (5) and they fill quickly.

Excellent

The price of this vacuum was very reasonable and it does a great job. We have got an add-on dust collector unit on the wand, so very little dust actually reaches our vacuum's bag. I love the 'quiet' feature and variety of suction levels. It is hard...

The colour is fairly average (puke yellow). Not the most fashionable vacuum. The power cord isn't that long, so you have to change plugs or use an extension cord. I can't find a way to attach the wand to the vacuum when in standing position, little bit...

Super Value Cleaning Without Costing The Earth?

It's quite confusing as to what kind of vacuum to buy if you are keen to lower you power usage on small household appliances like a vacuum cleaner. After using my Miele S4212 Turbo for a couple of months when bought for a property I own to rent out, I...

powerful to a point., good controls / variable suction, remains stable to a point, well made and quiet, easy and compact, lightweight and easy to pull after., auto cord rewind, 3.5 high filter dust bag 2 included., good array of well made smaller...

tool storer not stable in use., new floorhead a little too bulky in use., needs a turbo brush for decent deep dust removal., not so quiet when crevice pipe fitted, doesnt come with a spare filter, hot air facial each time suction setting is needed,...
