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 Cleaner Reviews 2010] 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] 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 2010] 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] 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] 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 consistently clean out a “dirt receptacle”. 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 a number of times. [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.
