The S6 is just like the S4 but has the added Comfort rewind pedal. Don't get the Silence or Ecoline models as the floor head is a lot heavier IMHO and noisier despite the 1200 watts versus 2000 watts. The blue Sprint model is a good one, base line but worth it.
The S8 also has the new one touch auto cord rewind Comfort pedal as standard like the S6 but has tools behind the flap and bigger GN dust bag. | ||

How about the S381? It's smaller, lighter in weight and cheaper than the S8, but still comes with the on board tool storage? I've just bought myself one of these and I love it!

I'm liking the S3, but I prefer the shape of the S5. | ||

I like the S381. Have always liked it - but it is fairly heavy but built better than the Miele S6 and current range. Depends on what you really need, rather than want - I find the remote control handles to be a nuisance. I'm more used to the slider control on the SEBO K series rather than having to make sure the remote control is angled towards the sensor on the body of the Miele vac to pick up what I want it to do via the handle and the handles, though soft and comfortable can often be too big for their own good with Miele.
See old review of the Miele S381. Either the S371 and S381 are good to go for - one is in light blue, the other is in dark burgundy. Also, bear in mind that at the moment Currys are selling a lot of "old" Miele vacuums like the S700 for prices close to £200 (£179) and just before Christmas they were selling the old Miele S380/381 for something ridiculous like £150. They only used to cost £99 and were the cheapest models to begin with before the S2 came along, sitting alongside the lighter S4. Certainly if you enjoy the S4, the S6 is the best one to go for - it is far better than the S2 as it has telescopic height adjustable tubes, a much longer hose and far more space efficient. Also, its a bit better made but you compromise on the bag size (3.5 litre FJM same as the S4) compared to the GN from the S5 series that fits into the S2. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK | ||

Graded S6 going for £139-99 but they've got the cord length wrong - 10 metres - oh how I wish! CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK | ||

I thought that the S8530 Uniq was the top of the range, which even has illuminated docking ports for the floortool and proper suspension on the wheels, its very pricey though at £480 CLICK HERE TO GO TO madabouthoovers's LINK | ||

Well you get what you pay for when a vacuum like the S8 has been tarted up. To me that makes no sense having extra lights, though I applaud Miele for doing it. Frankly I'd prefer spending that kind of money on the S4 Hybrid. Each to their own, really.
