Great find. There's something about the design of the older Miele's that reminds me of the squared off styled BMW cars, like the 80's 5-Series etc- unmistakeable looks & absolute solid quality. | ||

hose Is that the original hose? It looks like a design later than the cleaner. | ||

Oh yes thank you, it must have been one of the first to use this hose as a good deal of cleaners like this had a more conventional wand, without the double-swivel. | ||

chancel that should say elegance. I have no idea where that word came from or indeed what it meant. I had to look it up in a dictionary. | ||

Ryan, I think it would be better to compare the Miele with a more high end, full sized cleaner of the era like a Sensotronic or Lux 2000 series. The Miele may be a heck of a lot bigger and bulkier than the Compact, but it's certainly ligher, quieter, more solid and higher performing.
The suction is incredible, but when using the cleaner on carpet (thanks to a well designed floortool) it just glides along, picking up everything in it's path. It leaves some lovely track marks in the carpet that you rarely see with a straight suction cleaner. I managed to pick up a NIB turbo brush to match this cleaner, but so far I have not felt the need to use it. I'll get some pics and a better video up with the turbo brush at the weekend. | ||

Moulinex...
My Aunt Sally has an 80's Moulinex cylinder. It's red and a similar shape and size to a Senostronic. It's probably one of the sturdiest cylinders I've ever used and it's relatively quiet. It's out-lived all her uprights - Turbopower U2602, Dyson DC04, Electrolux Velocity and is now accompanied by a Sebo Felix.

Tazcatsdad has done a great video on the similar model, the 1350. Mine was yellow - but I note that whilst his has metal pipes, mine had metal pipes that were covered in black PVC, originally supplied with a commercial tub vacuum. Super T from Yahoo Group also kindly sent me an original floor head many moons ago, a Morphy Richards type head from that era, 35mm sized. Had it for many years and the vacuum - one of the best, probably quite unusual for the fact that it is reasonably quiet and just does the job intended.

My pleasure, Bill.
The one I had was made in France - the black pipes were identical to the ones supplied with a canister vac I once saw in a shop called "Mastervac" and had the identical black 2 way floor head with an orange pedal. The black pipes had slats up each side which I thought were very sporty at the time - very good idea because the suction tubes lasted a lot longer than the Moulinex body. Still appreciated the vacuum though as it had super suction and that lift out bag carrier which is really cool.
Years later, Vax brought out a bagged cylinder vacuum called the VS09 which was very similar to the Moulinex but with a slightly different body but used the same dust bags. Eventually Vax replaced the model with the "Swift VS-075".

I bought one of these last year in a very 1970's light tan colour as I had the Sebo version for many years for my K series. The rotary wheel is novel but the actual turbo brush isn't very powerful compared to the more modern version. I currently have a beige one I bought recently to match my green C2 but yet again it isn't very powerful with either vacuum or either brand.

Miele S 2800i. De luxe I have one of these - still working brilliantly. But need to know if it's over 30 years old. I bought it 1986 or before. Any information appreciated. Thank you. | ||
