I do respect miele based on the youtube videos I have seen. Before, I saw a crappy demonstration, by a guy that knew nothing about vacuum cleaners as he was the sewing machine sales guy. |

BTW she has 2 long haired dogs and 1 short haired cat. I think it cleans very efficently. |

Person? I think you mean the overwhelming majority of Persons, plural...who do not need convincing and hardly consider hanging a vacuum by it's cord or hose valid tests of anything related to performance or build quality. Even crumbling rotted cords will hang on for dear life by the copper wires until swung in an arc or dead dropped. Try that with your S5, ok? "I can hold the machine up by the cord which in a Tri Star or any other cleaner would come right out." Utter hogwash. "Miele cord winders are pulled out and retracted 300,000 times." Not every single Miele cordwinder off the line gets this treatment - it's a standard R&D fatigue test and random assembly line quality check performed by any manufacturer of consumer goods. Enough with the baiting pronouncements and exaggerations, please. Show us a video of your S5 actually sucking dried paint off your own walls...that'll tell us more about the condition of the underlying plaster, moisture content and cheap paint than suction. If you'd like to do the suck test with wet paint you can then lecture us on how quickly the Miele bag pores clog up... lighten up, Boy, lighten up. Dave |

hi, The problem is that a miele cleaner is made for the european market. If I look at the prices over there than I have to say that I would not by A miele over there it is insane. In europe it is the trend for a lot of years now that there are hard floors in the house or verry low profile carpet. There for it is not standard to have a power nozzle and a lot of other brands do not even have a conection fot a PN. The Miele Cat an dog over here is delivered with an air brush, A PN is an extra option. TH cost price of a standard Miele over here is 140 euro up to max 400 Euro that includes the PN. If you buy an american machine over here it will cost like 3000 euro it really is absurd and you will get boxes full of things you will never need (if you are not an collector lol). What I mean to say is different countries different needs, and different prices i quess. edgar |

That's an interesting question. I have one guess: some difference in the design of the two series results in less airflow in the S4 than the S5 with the same motor. It could be the smaller bag chamber in the S4 - that would be my first guess. The hoses are slightly different, aren't they? You could answer that question by placing a flow meter at different points in the flow on the different machines, namely the canister inlet and the hose inlet; everything distal to that is the same.
