Miele S 5280 Medicair 5000 PLUS

quiet but powerful performance. lightweight and easy to use. an excellent purchase if it proves to be as reliable as miele's reputation suggests!expensive

Expensive-but worth it,

very light so good for stairs

was not supplied with spare bags

Quiet. Efficient, especially with the turbobrush.

Lid to accessories sometimes will not shut

Good suction and easy to use

Bags expensive and not reusable

light

Don't like the waste bag

light weight, easy to manouver, great suction, no mess emptying cylinders. easy to use. would never go back to a dyson!!

no bad points

very powerful and allows various speed settings for different surfaces.

the lid can be be a problem as it tends not to close securely without resonable force also feels flimsy.

well built, quieter than my prev vacuum cleaner, powerful seems well designed.

not found any yet.

So easy to use and makes vacuuming a pleasure. Light and picks up straight away so jobs take much less time. Particularly like the way the head and pipe hook on to the body of the machine. Good suction even on less powerful rug settings. Hard floor...

Would be good if it were easier to get the bags, say in the supermarkets.
