Andrew, I bought the Tango which is "Metallic Titan Red", so it's the same as Jacks'. Different names on them though! ~Alex |

UK, Canadian and USA Miele same canister and upright and the S7 models all have different model names geared for the country of sale. May be the same in each country they sell in? For instance, the Canadian S5 canisters are called Janus, Venus, Luna and Jupiter while I think the USA S5's are named after Gods. I like the S7 very much although it is top heavy in use and tends to drop to the ground without a firm grip as I recall. Great fun and almost effortless to steer around. But I'll have to wait for a used one. At CN$499 for the bol white one they are just too dear. The only brand new vacuums I have bought were the two Sears Premalite Bagless uprights...and that's only because I got them for $25 each at the Sears under the table clearance store here. Dave |

Janus and Luna have been discontinued. Venus has lost its garnet red metallic colour (now "blackberry red"), and adds a +/- speed control to take over the Luna's spot. The replacement for the original Venus is the Flora which is bright orange and comes with the SEB217 included. If you have a Costco nearby, you can get a Miele Mistral S7 for $459.99 including two packages of bags! |

I love the sleek look in the same way I love the design of the Electrolux Oxygen Three upright. A real aerodynamic response to the gawd-awful mess of tubes and tanks and clips and "hard-to-clean" nooks and crannies of all the bulky cumbersome "hardware store on wheels" being sold by all the other companies, including my beloved Eureka. This is what Gehry's Bilbao Museum is to the Pompidou Centre in Paris! Would Miele listen to us vac-fans if we told them they just need to get rid of that furniture-killing filter cover handle? It's amazing that they did not think about how to resolve that unfortunate design flaw. It would be the simplest thing to change to make the hood perfect! |

I tried to get a new agitator/activator for mum's Hoover 'Turbopower 3' - the blessed part is now obsolete and the cleaner is only a dozen or so years old!!! |
