That's a Miele S514 Solaris Electro Plus
It was the TOL Solaris series. They made a yellow straight suction Solaris, a very light blue Solaris Turbo Plus that had a turbine carpet nozzle, and yours, which has a 217 power nozzle. It's from around 2004, probably, but the tag on the bottom will tell you the year and the quarter of that year in which it was manufactured. Yours has the 1100-watt motor, so it's one of the older ones; the later ones had 1200-watt Vortex motors and direct-connect hose, wand, and power nozzle. I think they retailed for around $600, so you got a good deal on a vacuum that will last forever it the previous owner took good care of it.

Wow! That's a great find!!! I love my Mieles -- they're quiet and powerful. That powernozzle isn't bad for low to medium pile carpeting, either.
Congratulations, Hans! | ||

Miele find Hans, I am in shock! Such a new vacuum for your taste. John, When you say "underwhelming" are you referring to it's build quality, performance or features? Or are you talking about the break-up? I can see where it could have been BOTH. Just kidding. Rob | ||

Hans, these have a date code on the info label. Take a pic of the sticker on the bottom and I'll tell you how old it is. This model came out in 2000 and was discontinued in 2006. Yours has the 1100 watt 2 stage motor, the later version came with the 1200 watt single fan Vortex motor, at the time they made that switch they also included a direct connect wand setup with the 217-2 rather than the 213-2 that yours has. I have a 2006 version, was the first Miele I got, bought it new (for wholesale obviously) when I first started working where I do now, it was out very last 50 series machine, we sold all the rest and brought in the newer S5s that replaced them.
