The Miele S7580 Bolero is one of the Premium Class vacuums in the S7 upright series. It is powerful, quiet, maneuverable and loaded with features such as suction control, automatic height adjustment and a special HEPA filter that includes activated carbon for odor removal. Consumer reviews are few but generally very good and most owners are pleased with their purchase. The machine is a little heavy however and, like many Miele vacuum cleaners, it is not cheap. [REF Miele Vacuum Reviews] The Miele Callisto is part of the Miele S5 series of vacuums. The S5 series are Miele’s higher-end canister vacuums, with the S4 and S2 series being typically more affordable. The Callisto has been around for some time and is now paired with the new SEB228 Heavy Duty Powerhead (for both high and low-pile carpet) and the SBB300-3 Parquet Floor Brush (for bare floor cleaning). This canister vacuum gets very good consumer ratings and is said to be powerful yet still quiet. [REF Miele Vacuum Reviews 2010] The Electrolux Ergospace Green gets fairly good reviews and is lightweight, easy to maneuver and very quiet. It works well on hardwood floors and is environmentally friendly being made in part of recycled plastic. The vacuum is also packed in unbleached recycled cardboard. The brushbar is air-driven however and while the Ergospace is effective on bare floors some owners report that it does not excel on carpet. [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] The Eureka C5712A is a commercial vacuum and like most commercial machines it does not come with a lot of fancy features, although this one does have a few tools and it uses a sealed HEPA filtration system. It is recommended for UL-listed commercial or heavy-duty residential use. Ratings and comments for this unit are not easy to come by but those that exist seem fairly favorable. [REF Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] There are not many consumer ratings available for the Panasonic MC-CG902 Canister Vacuum Cleaner but those available indicate a fairly high level of consumer satisfaction. This vacuum was also recently given a best buy rating from a popular consumer magazine. Folks that use this machine like the quality attachments, retractable power cord and the fact that it is good on hard surfaces however some lament that it does not come with a handheld turbine attachment for cleaning pet hair from stairs or upholstery. [REF Panasonic Vacuum Reviews 2011] The Electrolux EL6984A UltraSilencer is a lightweight and extremely quiet bagged canister vacuum cleaner. It gets top grades from consumers for it’s ability to clean hard surfaces (wood, tile, lino, etc) and for its quiet operation, but seems to fall a little short when cleaning carpet (in particular deep-pile carpet). [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] On paper the Electrolux Ultra Silencer EL7060A sounds impressive. It comes with many features including a sealed HEPA system, suction control, automatic cord rewind and a 5-year warranty. It also has powerful suction, is lightweight and is very quiet. With all of these qualities one would expect this Electrolux canister vacuum to get great consumer ratings – but ratings are lackluster. Owners allude to a number of issues and while some do like the vacuum there are a sufficient number of low ratings to make one take notice. [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] With a score of 4.8 out of 5 from consumers on Amazon, the Miele Neptune stands out as an excellent example of a canister vacuum. The Miele Neptune is lightweight, compact and powerful. It is not a machine however for deep pile carpet but it excels when applied to low or medium-pile carpeting, area rugs and smooth flooring. [REF Miele Vacuum Reviews 2010] Ratings for the Hoover UH30600 are very, very good although it is only fair to point out that a large number of consumer ratings for this new machine are not yet available. The UH30600 is a bagged upright designed for both carpet and bare floors. It has HEPA filtration, a long power cord, a range of on-board tools, and seven different height settings. Owners feel that it has outstanding suction and that it is not too expensive (about $150 at certain outlets). Some consumers find it a bit heavy however. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] The Miele Cat and Dog S7260 is part of Miele’s S7 line of upright vacuum cleaners. The Cat and Dog gets excellent consumer ratings and is loaded with features. Owners are impressed with the look and feel of the unit with many commenting on the quality fit and finish. It has powerful suction yet still manages to be fairly quiet and is capable on both carpet and bare floors. It is also very effective at pulling up pet hair. The downsides of this machine are its weight and – of course – its cost. [REF Miele Vacuum Reviews] The Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Pet Upright Vacuum (model UH30310) is a bagged upright that comes with a few extra tools for vacuuming up pet hair. Consumers report that this machine is indeed very good at picking up pet hair, and they also like the long power cord, the light weight and the fact that it is not too expensive. However some folks wish that the vacuum came with more than one wand and it does have a lot of plastic in its construction. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2011] The Miele S4212 Polaris canister vacuum gets very high grades from consumers. It is the least expensive of the Miele S4 series of canisters and is recommended for short-pile carpet, area rugs and hard surface floors. Consumers love the Polaris’ light weight, variable suction and extremely quiet operation. On the downside the power cord is a little short. [REF Miele Vacuum Reviews 2010] Like many of its canister brothers the Miele Olympus vacuum cleaner (model S2120) receives high grades from consumers. Owners praise the vacuum for its powerful suction yet quiet operation. It is also very effective on bare floors. However if this unit has a weakness it is likely its limited cleaning ability on carpet. On very low-pile carpet it is ok, but it struggles with anything deeper than this. [REF Miele Vacuum Reviews 2010] The Miele Leo is powerful, lightweight and quiet - a tough combination to beat. It is part of the S5 series of vacuums which are Miele’s high-end machines and they come with a host of features and options. Consumer ratings are not widely available for this vacuum but those found indicate a high level of satisfaction. [REF Miele Vacuum Reviews 2011] The Hoover WindTunnel T-Series UH30300 is not fancy but it is light, has powerful suction, is easy to maintain and is also very reasonably priced. The general owner consensus is that this machine is fairly good value for the money. There are some comments however that the vacuum is a bit loud and that too much plastic is used in the construction. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews] According to the Hoover.com website the Hoover UH50000 TurboPower WindTunnel Anniversary-Edition Upright Vacuum Cleaner is a Consumers Digest Best Buy. It is well liked by consumers, but ratings and reviews (from those who have bought and experienced the vacuum) are limited. The Hoover Windtunnel vacuums do seem to get a lot of repeat customers and this shows a certain level of satisfaction with the brand and products through the years. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] The Eureka ReadyForce 900A is a very inexpensive canister vacuum (about 60USD on Amazon). It also gets very good consumer reviews. This is always a good combination. If you have a lot of hard floors and are looking for something light, easy to maintain and not too loud then look no further. However if your house has a lot of carpet you may want to consider other options. [REF Eureka Vacuum Reviews 2010] If you want quality and don’t like to compromise then the Miele Capricorn may be the right vacuum cleaner for you. It is made in Germany, has a life expectancy of some 20 years, and comes with many, many features. The Miele S5981 Capricorn is the top end of the Miele Canister vacuum cleaners and, as expected, it also gets very good ratings from owners. The downside of this machine is that it is expensive. [REF Miele Vacuum Reviews] The Eureka Boss SmartVac Pet Lover 4870SZ is a bagged upright vacuum and has been rated as a Consumers Digest Best Buy. It is getting mostly good consumer reviews, but some consumers have highlighted a few issues. The 4870SZ was created for households with pets, and as such comes with several pet-friendly features including odor-eating vacuum cleaner bags, a sealed system, and High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration. [REF Eureka Vacuum Reviews 2011] Manufactured in Germany and new for 2010, the Miele S2 series of canister vacuums range in price from about 300USD for the Olympus to about 600USD for the Titan. It can be a little confusing determining which S2 canister is the right one for your needs. In this review we describe what the Miele Olympus, Miele Delphi and the Miele Titan have in common as well as where they differ. Additionally we discover some of what consumers think of this relatively new Miele S2 vacuum cleaner series. [REF Miele Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] Very much a “no bells & whistles” canister vacuum, the Eureka 3684F Pet Lover nevertheless gets good ratings and reviews from consumers. It is also fairly inexpensive at around the 100USD level (at certain outlets). Consumers like the fact that it is very lightweight, compact and good on hard surfaces, but point out that the short power cord and low quality vacuum hose are shortcomings. [REF Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] Miele have been around for over one hundred years and they have been manufacturing vacuum cleaners since 1927. The S2 series of canister vacuum cleaners is fairly recent and the top model in this group is the Miele S2180 Titan. The Titan gets good ratings from consumers and is capable of cleaning all manner of flooring from bare floors to low and medium pile carpet. [REF Miele Vacuum Reviews 2010] Miele have been manufacturing floor care products for 80 years and they are famous for making quality vacuum cleaners. We've reviewed several of their canister vacuums and stick vacuums in the past and in almost all cases have found them to be exemplary products. The S7210 Twist is the first full-size Miele upright we have looked at, and it too seems to be getting very good grades from consumers. It uses a powerful Miele-made vortex motor, has automatic height adjustment, a very long 39 foot power cord and also comes with variable suction control. [REF Miele Vacuum Reviews 2011] The Miele S168 stick vacuum is the latest Miele stick vac and it is slightly more advanced (and more expensive) than the S163. The suction on the S168 is fully variable and consumers heap praise on this machine for its power and its ability to run very quietly. On the downside, even though rather light for an upright, it is considered by many to be a little heavy for a stick vacuum. [REF Miele Vacuum Reviews 2010] The Eureka Sanitaire SC3683A is considered a commercial vacuum but plenty of folks seem to be using it in their homes. Consumers like the fact that it is small, light, powerful and HEPA ready, although there are some comments about it being better on hard surfaces than carpet. [REF Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] The Hoover Commercial Portapower Vacuum, or Hoover CH3000 as it is also known, is fairly new to the market and is the replacement (new version) of the Hoover Portapower C2094. This is a compact, portable vacuum with good suction and plenty of attachments. It is also not too expensive. There are few consumer reviews on this vacuum presently but those that are available indicate that it is a well-liked machine. The star ratings are also very good, although limited in number. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] The Hoover S3670 WindTunnel Bagged Canister vacuums gets good grades from some consumers and poor grades from others. People like the vacuum’s strong suction and stylish looks but are unhappy with its poorly designed hose and overly-plastic construction. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] The Panasonic MC UG471 is a fairly basic machine that is not too expensive – a little over 100 USD at most stores. But it does have most of what counts: strong suction, HEPA filter, and a range of tools. It is also noted to be reasonably quiet and very good on carpet (less-so on bare floors). [REF Panasonic Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] Like most Miele vacuum cleaners this one works very well, gets great reviews but is expensive - common traits with Miele. It was recently rated by Consumers Digest as a Best Buy. Reviews on this unit are limited but those consumer comments that can be found are overwhelmingly positive. The Miele S163 stick vacuum also comes with a Super Air Clean Filter and an optional HEPA filter, a level of air filtration not overly common with stick vacs. It is recommended for low-pile carpeting and smooth floors. [REF Miele Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] Panasonic is a well known company providing modern appliances to households & businesses worldwide, but they are not particularly well-known for their vacuum cleaners. They do, however, have a fairly wide range of both household and commercial vacuums. One of their well rated canister vacuums is the Panasonic MC-CG885 OptiFlow Lightweight Bag Canister vacuum cleaner. [REF Panasonic Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] There are two Miele S4212 vacuums - the S4212 Polaris and the S4212 Neptune. The base model, the Miele S4212 Polaris is the replacement for the Miele S4210 Carina. It should be noted that the S4212 Polaris is entirely the same vacuum with the same features as the S4210 Carina. The only difference is the color - the Polaris is a light blue color (baby blue) while the Carina is a light yellow. Like the S4210 Carina, the S4212 Polaris is the entry level Galaxy S4 series Miele canister vacuum, and like the Carina it is recommended for short-pile carpeting, area rugs and smooth flooring. [REF Miele Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Electrolux EL6988E Oxygen Canister Vacuum Cleaner is a lightweight, quiet, bagged vacuum with limited consumer reviews at this time. This vacuum also comes with HEPA filtration and consumers do feel it is effective on most surfaces. [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2010] 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 cleaners and the three aforementioned can be a bit pricey, however the Miele S4210 (Carina version at least) can be found at some websites/stores for under 400 USD. Not cheap but then again not over the top for a machine with fantastic reviews and a 7 year motor warranty (yes – 7 years). [REF Miele Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] Not to be confused with the similar looking 3670A, the Eureka 3670G Mighty Mite Canister vacuum cleaner gets fairly good consumer ratings, is lightweight, powerful and inexpensive. [REF Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Electrolux EL6985B is an interesting approach to a vacuum cleaner, focusing on reducing the vacuum noise level (we wish this was an idea more vacuum cleaner manufacturers would consider). Electrolux have clearly been successful in making the EL6985B quiet – given consumer comments - but how does it stand up to the competition with respect to other key features? [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Hoover U6485-900 Windtunnel Anniversary Vacuum Cleaner is a self-propelled, bagged upright with HEPA filtration. Many consumers are sold on the self-propelling feature and also report that their purchase was based on the vacuum getting top-notch reviews by a leading Consumer Reports magazine. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The U5491-900 is a bagged upright vacuum cleaner that is not too expensive and gets quite good reviews. It does not use a dirt-container like many of the bagless machines today, but instead uses a disposable bag. There is a long standing debate about whether bagged or bagless vacuum cleaners being better – bagged tend to make it easier to dispose of the collected dirt and it is cleaner to throw away the bag and put a new one in. Bagless do not require purchasing and throwing away bags but it should be noted that they often have filters that need to be maintained or replaced and they rely on seals to prevent the dirt-container from leaking. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] This is perhaps the highest rated vacuum cleaner we have had the opportunity to review – it is also a pretty recent addition to the vacuum cleaner market. It should be noted however that at this time we found only 23 reviews. But even so, the average review was 5 stars out of 5 with the machine getting high marks for power, maneuverability, lightweight construction, and a 6-year warranty. There is very little negative written about the Hoover UH30010COM. [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Hoover U5140900 Tempo Widepath Bagged Upright vacuum is a good hard working vacuum cleaner. It has a powerful 12 amp motor, a convenient 8.5 meter power cord, it weights just 8.62 kilograms, and it has a lifetime HEPA 4 stage filtration system. Other features include a dusting brush, headlamp, on-board tools, and full bag indicator. It is one of the higher rated vacuums in the lightweight, low cost vacuum category. It is a great lower-end vacuum cleaner and is highly rated by consumers, many of which feel that it is an exceptional buy. It is well worth researching this vacuum if you are looking for something low cost, lightweight and efficient... [REF Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2008] In this vacuum cleaner review we find that Eureka’s 4870GZ Boss SmartVac Upright vacuum cleaner has many features that make it a great choice. If you are looking at vacuum cleaner ratings, this one gets good marks. The motorised brushroll turns on and off so you can switch from carpet to hard floors with ease and the true HEPA filtration removes dirt, dust and allergens down to .03 microns. Also the 4870MZ is the latest version but is essentially the same vacuum with a different color scheme. [REF Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2008] The Electrolux EL5020A Intensity Upright is a powerful, lightweight, inexpensive vacuum cleaner. Amazon’s price of 108 bucks right now (as of this writing) seems like a pretty amazing deal - the Electrolux site posts an MSRP of 299.99USD. This is a bagged vacuum cleaner. Some people like a bagged machine because they do not have to clean out a “dirt canister”. However with a bagged machine you do have consumables – in the form of vacuum cleaner bags. Some folks actually clean out the bags and re-use them. [REF Electrolux Vacuum Cleaner Reviews 2009] The Panasonic MC-CG467 Multi-Surface Lightweight Canister Vacuum Cleaner is a bagged vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter that is not too expensive for a canister vacuum and gets slightly better than average customer reviews.
