I think much of the difference in airflow with Miele cleaners has a lot to do with the kind of post-motor filter in place...a more substantial Hepa filter will slow down the movement of air compared to just a thin Air Clean post motor filter pad. Consumer Reports tests the cleaners as they come out of the box, and various Mieles come with different post motor filters.

I really think this is the reason the 4 models of Miele S7 / U1 Dynamic uprights got such varied rankings in Consumer Reports tests. The blue one with the flimsiest exhaust filter got the best rating for cleaning in all modes, yet filtration was deemed quite good. The most deluxe model - the black Auto Eco - comes with a very expensive Active Hepa filter, and it's bare floor cleaning and hose airflow was not as good as the other U1 uprights tested. It just goes to show you that you may not need a robust Hepa exhaust filter to give you sufficient air filtration on a Miele vacuum...the Miele dustbag may be doing a lot of the filtration work needed.
