Is a Miele vaccum ideal to clean an office?

Seatcupra.net forum may not tell the greatest jokes in their forums (follow the link to see what I mean) but they certainly know their vacuum cleaners – and when si-mate came asking for advice on a new cleaner for work, they were quick to respond.

The usual suspects are recommended – amongst them Henry and Dyson, with some particular praise reserved for past experiences for Miele. Indeed, regular poster Nickkis recommends “categorically a Miele every day of the week. Check Which, they rave about them”, his only complaint that some models come with suction so strong they can lift an unsecured carpet! In his words “more expensive but worth every penny”.

Mrcoyote agrees, saying “+1 for the Miele. I replaced my Dyson with one after my dog killed it and it seems to work so much better”. To add your office cleaning solutions pop over to the forum here, or leave your comments below.

Brief encounters – Miele Cat & Dog TT5000 vacuum cleaner review

Even with a household full of Miele appliances, it wasn’t a foregone conclusion when Broadsword’s vacuum cleaner needed replacing that another Miele machine would be top of the shopping list as this latest review of the Cat & Dog TT5000 over on Amazon.co.uk demonstrates.

After ditching their Dyson for the Cat & Dog, he described his ultimate decision as: “All those reviewers and ‘Which’ can’t be wrong” and having already “bought a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher from Miele this year” was already “very impressed with the brand”.

As the TT5000 was the first cylinder cleaner they’ve owned, Broadsword has been delighted with how well the vacuum copes with corners and pleasantly surprised by the motor noise or rather the lack of it calling it “as good as silent compared with any other machine we’ve used.”

While he admits the “only tiny negative is that Miele appliances are not cheap” he concedes that over the life of the vacuum “you get a lot for the money” and like the other Cat & Dog reviews we’ve covered in the past he commends it as “greatly recommended” advising potential purchasers to “ignore all the flashy promotion from Dyson and others and go for this one. You won’t be disappointed”

Brief encounters – Miele Cat & Dog TT5000 vacuum cleaner review

When George Brown sat down and wrote his review of the Cat & Dog TT5000 over at the Review Centre it appears he struggled to find any negative points. So much so that the only one he could think of was the difficulty in finding one to purchase in the first place since demand was so high.

After using the Cat & Dog over the last year, he gives the vacuum the full ten out of ten across ease of use, durability, service and value, a nine for style and makes special mention of the “effective all angle suction pressure”, something we find is commonly mentioned by other Miele owners.

He concludes his review asking us to “Forget Dyson, Vax, Hoover, Electrolux and ilk, a better vacuum cleaner for tough household and pet hair you will not find at £165 – £200 anywhere!”.

New vacuum wanted: Preferably of the bagged variety

Over at the Mumsnet discussion forums eltham knows what she wants and that’s a new vacuum, so she’s given the members of the community a fairly open brief as long as it’s of the bagged variety.

SammyC, Andthentherewerethree and HeadFairy all lead the conversation with their recommendations for Henry as it “really gets rid of cat hairs!” a statement that luvlydECMOrations counters with a vote for the Miele and “we have the cat and dog version and its great”. Snoringnightmare says she can’t vouch for a Henry, but as a former Dyson owner that “weren’t that great” advocates “Miele all the way from now on”.

However it’s SleighGirl who rounds off the discussion having just treated herself to “a limited edition special offer one today “Red Pearl” for £170 which include a 5 year guarantee” and thinks “Miele are great”.

Brief encounters – Miele S4211 vacuum cleaner review part 2

Back in September we covered bazz2004′s review of the Miele S4211 vacuum cleaner over at the Review Centre. Fast forward two and a half months and jugglingtamarin has written a short, but sweet review of his own.

Giving the S4211 the Review Centre ‘thumbs-up’ and awarding it 10/10, he made sure he asked his friends and family, all of whom own Mieles of their own, for their recommendations before buying and hasn’t been disappointed with his choice: “Fantastic cleaning! Bag is very easy to change…very light and easy to carry around” and “So, so much better than the dyson I had before”. His only problem being that “it’s more expensive than any hoover I’m had before but it’s worth it”.
