They didn't show what it was like to pull the cleaner round by it, or what it's like on fullpower. |

Since the Miele vacuum was fastened to a display-what would it be like if the vacuum was on the floor and you pulled the hose to "stretch" it-the machine would follow along as its supposed to.And be careful what you pick up-that long hose may clog. |

The Owner is a very nice guy and they will ship. They will also give you this package for a great deal if you purchase your Miele from them. These guys know vacuums and are very helpful. |

They may well know vacuums but when it comes to actual use in a home, I very much doubt it. I speak from experience here.
Miele do make a removable 1.5 metre extension hose that goes onto the end of any existing Miele hose. Its called the SFS10 Extender. I bought one years ago to get more stretch with my Miele vacuums as you know they have a small amount of cord. Its okay for added stretch but it can be too wriggly when it is being used = thus this even a longer hose like the one shown would probably knock the paintwork off my doors and corners - as well as others in a general home, no matter how wide the hallways or rooms are.

Oh here we go again. Any conflicting opinion and you shut it out. Do you actually have ANY experience to share at all? Instead of passing off a post that you are more or less 'SELLING" on the back of that company you've chosen to share a video with, why would you have posted it at all?
If you can't stand the heat - get out of the kitchen. AND if Miele were so confident about their filtration, why on earth do they keep producing Super Air Clean filters? If a company wanted to promote the benefits of clean air, you'd have thought they would have fitted the Active Air Clean as standard right across the range. Hotpoint and other European brands are beginning to fit HEPA right across their ranges in their bagged cylinder vacs, I don't see why Miele can't. |

Who are you to tell me? You are sadly mistaken if all I talk about is SEBO. On the basis that I've been here longer than you, I've contributed on many of the other brands I collect, owned and sold off. You're still lost in that last post that we debated on - how sad that you can't really move on from that.
You really are under the assumption that I adore the X4. How sad and IGNORANT of you. Clearly you don't read enough. I actually adore the SEBO Felix as well as a multitude of other brands including Miele vacuums. I've owned Dyson, I wouldn't own it again. That's my PERSONAL OPINION. Lastly, please inform yourself - the Windsor Sensor IS a SEBO. SEBO signed a contract in 1979 with Windsor to sell the SEBO uprights - that's the reason why it still exists in the U.S and why SEBO never sold their range until much later on with their other ranges. How did I get that info? Oh it can be viewed online. By Googling and informing oneself. Do thy likewise. Otherwise don't waste my time. Drive off in your old Pug. |

I agree - but then I don't see any of my vacuums as being beautiful other than my classic Hoover collection. I don't go for the beauty, I go for performance, quietness, functionality and well thought out features in my MODERN collections. Of the Felix you've posted, did it have the charcoal filter that became available last year? I noticed a big difference of quality of air on mine when that filter was fitted.
This video is in German. You might find it difficult to understand. However, forward it to 6.49 where the Bosch cylinder is pushed down a staircase. Only the dust falls out of it. The Miele S5 however at 8.24 fairs worse - infact you'll see that it doesn't absorb the fall very well.
I have a Miele S5 - I wouldn't ever subject it to that - but it proves that there isn't a perfect vacuum cleaner - and their bodies in this respect are also not lifetime guaranteed. I doubt the S8 would be able to sustain any better given that it has the same flap at the front for the tools and a similar design. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sebo_fan's LINK |

Thing is, in my home I don't require a deep clean on my carpets as I have medium pile wool loop - I have to be careful. The carpet before that was thick pile wool and the Dyson made a meal of it - eventually threadbare from over use.
My Vax VCU02 (similar to Hoover Signature) is great - very much like Oreck - lacks a hose, dirty fan and does the job intended. The SEBOs and the MIele vacuums all treat the surfaces with softer cleaning - it's just a great pity that with the Miele vacs, there's plenty of plug hopping to do. |

I would love the Miele S8 to have a much longer cord - that is my main gripe. If Bosch can do it with their inferior plasticy BSG5 series, there is nothing to stop Miele from doing the same - and the Bosch BSGL5 is a pretty light cylinder vacuum with a similar dust bag capacity. I think Bosch have also realised that a lot of German brand buyers are put off by some of their lack of features - earlier this year Bosch have redesigned their tools to accept a lock to hold them on as opposed to friction fit - but I have yet to see the new range, as I had an older BSGL5 a few years ago. If you think Miele tools are bad, the Bosch ones are just naff and cheaper plastic. Much prefer using Miele tools with Bosch vacuums - they are the same sizing.
Bosch also fit a top exhaust on the main body but the way in which it has been designed means you don't get a face full of air each time you change the suction setting. |

Bosch is an excellent company, they pulled their vacuums out of the US market, bummer. |
