Miele S 571

I love this machine – I love this vacuum cleaner, It has good suction even when full, long telescope pipe and works well on all surfaces. It is expensive to replace the bags but I'd rather drop my full bag in the bin than have to empty dust out of a bagless. I love that this machine works well even when the bag is full unlike some vacuums which don't work well as… Read more

soon as there is a little dust in the bag. At one stage after about 2 years my machine started turning off while I was using it and wouldn't turn on. I have to say, I was gutted and was prepared to buy a new one exactly the same but I took it to Godfreys where I purchased it and it turned out to just need a new plug! $25 later and it is good as new. I would buy this same machine again. strong, easy to operate, works well, looks good, good selection of on board tools I would like the cord to be longer as I have to use an extention cord.

Good – My brother and I decided to buy this for my parents as a gift. When we were younger my parents bought a Miele S276i vacuum cleaner when we moved into our newly build home (back in 1991). The vacuum worked a treat, never failed, even after I dropped it down the stairs, so we thought it was time for them to update! Bought this model for I think it… Read more

was $399 from Myer, back in 2005, and my mum and dad love it! Mum has a bad back and knee, and she says this machine is great to pull around, and she doesn't have to bend down so much to clean up under the couch etc. Dad likes to use it in the cars, and even uses it to clean his work van out (of course mum doesn't know). Only downside I found to this machine is the cord doesn't seem that long as the old machine, however, it could just be me, mum says she is still using the same power points that she has always used. Overall a great machine and well worth the money we spent for my parents! Black - well known brand - long wand - 1800 watts of power cost of replacement bags

Excellent – Fantastic and a great vacuum I love this vacuum, it has a variable suction control so you can clean rugs,curtains,etc without it distorting.It is very powerful and I have never regretted buying it. The only thing is it is kinda heavy

Terrible – I bought this vacuume cleaner on its repuation and it was all ok for 15 months then it started making wierd sounds and smoke came out everywhere.So i took it back to Miele Frenches Forest Sydney after being accused of vacumming up water by the service person (which i would never do) we were told we will ring you.three weeks later i had not heard… Read more

from them so i rang and was told it would be FOUR WEEKS from the date they ordered the parts WHICH HAVE TO COME FROM GERMANY so i asked if they had ordered the parts ? i dont know was the answer can you put me on to someone who does know ? no was the answer, so bad product even worse customer service I WILL NEVER BUY MIELE AGAIN Good vacuume cleaner until 15 months it made a wierd sound and smoke came out everywhere seems ok

OK – Simply going on vacuuming performance, it's a good appliance. Upright vacuum cleaners also can be good, but if you have stairs or a lot of nooks and crannies, they are not practical. The suction is very good, it is a very effective vacuum cleaner. Also it is compact and the attachments are easy to use. The bags need changing quite often and are… Read more

expensive to buy. It would be much less wasteful and more economical if the bags could be emptied and reused.
