I do have the silver moon which is similar to the blue moon, only smaller. It has the same airflow as the new single stage vortex motors. It is also heavier than the new models. There are three things I dislike about it, the cost of replacement parts, the hose length, and the handle. It has occasionally turned off on me at random. I am not looking to part with it as it is my sole Miele canister.

I bought a Capricorn new but only had it a couple of years as I was not pleased with it. For me the hose and power cord were too short, the hose was unwieldy and the above the floor cleaning tools were too small. Also I found the wheels to be too small which made moving the cannister around on the carpeting difficult to do. I did start to have problems with the fluorescent light on the powerhead - sometimes it would work and sometimes not. I understand that Miele changed it to LED in a later version of the Capricorn. Also I started to have problems with the controls on the hose handle - sometimes they would work and sometimes not.
