Is that Miele a Riccar Radiance/Simplicity Synergy killer? Or not quite? |

I am going to purchase the S7 Tango or Swing, not sure which color yet, in a couple of weeks. I just sold my S5 Capricorn Canister on ebay for $799. It was only 11 months old, with about 57 hours of use on it. I was sad to let her go, but this new S7 is really nice. I'll post pictures once I get mine.

Thanks for posting those pics Fred. I think that's the most beautiful model out of all of them. Aren't the new Hyclean bags wonderful? |

Seamus - I got to use the bottom of the range S7 today. I have to say, it is a darn fine machine but I don't think it's the best upright out there today. The weight for me is a serious issue. I'm not particularly strong and my house is a 3 story, 4 bed so that would be a big issue for me. I think the weight is the only thing that makes me prefer the Sebo Felix to the S7. I can't really compare the X series with the S7 because they're totally different cleaners. So for me, best upright goes to the X4 with the Felix in at close second and Miele just behind that. If it was lighter, I think I would prefer it |

Hey Fred great pictures! Gotta love the versatility of a vacuum like that. It looks like its got a really good brushroll! I love it when companies go out of their way to make their vacuums quiet. I really like the picture that shows how long the cord is (very clever!). Have you had a chance to use the vacuum on bare floors yet? It looks like it would do a good job! Thanks for posting the detailed pics! |

I went to my local Miele Diamond Dealer in Omaha today and saw the S7 in person for the first time. They have the Swing on display, it is so pretty. I really love the stretch hose on it, and the long cord. The brushroll agitation to me felt a lot better and more aggressive than my Miele S5 Capricorn with SEB236 did. It really pulls the machine along, almost feels like it is self propelled! Can not wait to buy my S7 Swing in 2 weeks!

Cool video. Looks much better with the filter door matched, like this model. Nice sound too. Are those air inlets at the front corners of the nozzle? |

I agree about the filter cover color. That is why I decided to get the Swing model. Good thing my Miele Dealer is a Diamond Dealer - apparently this top end model is only available at Diamond Dealers. My next choice was going to be the Tango color. So far I absolutely love the vacuum. I can tell it is more aggressive at cleaning than my SEB-236 was on my Capricorn. Probably because of the weight of the machine on the nozzle. You can feel that it vibrates the carpet much more than the SEB-236. |

Fred, thanks for posting pictures. A very sharp machined indeed. I can't imagine the fun you must have had playing with something so nice and new! |

More and more I'm falling in lust with the S7. And at last the machine is being listed on Miele.ca. Note the 'windy' names for the Canadian Models. USA Models are 'dance' themed. The white one - Mistral - at Canadian tire is still priced at only $499, and playing with it at CanTire gives me a feel for how smoothly and conveniently it operates. That long & light hose & wand combo really is useful. But I know I'd be unhappy with a snow white S7. The red one - Viento - is equally lovely tho red is not my favorite colour. But now - almost - comes the ice blue 7580 'Marin' with electronic control that pleases my eye. It's supposed to be here February 1. So it would seem that Canada is not going to get the other Electronic versions. I will have to contact Miele Canada about this. The Blue Marin has captured my heart... Dave This is the USA Miele site that offers all six models and the ice blue one we're going to get up here. Whee! Like Can/Am Miele canister S5s the model names are inexplicable. One can only hope the price will be as proportionally reasonable to the $499 Mistral. CLICK HERE TO GO TO aeoliandave's LINK |
