We’ve covered three earlier reviews of the Miele S5210 before on Forever Better and this fourth is as equal in its praise as each of the previous testimonials.

Once again this anonymously written Review Centre evaluation awards the S5210 the full 10/10 across the board including ease of use, durability, style, service and value for money. Described as having “excellent performance, interchangeable floor heads from other Miele models, variable power selection, quiet operation, well built and sturdy and fairly light weight”, the only issue is the cost of replacement bags which the reviewer advises “…to shop around for best prices”.

The owner of this S5210 is also no stranger to Miele being the owner of a house full of other appliances including a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer and concludes their write-up with “whilst Miele products are not cheap, they are without doubt built to last and just ooze Germanic qualities of understated engineering”.

As we highlighted briefly last week, Miele will soon be launching their first upright vacuum the S7. To whet the appetite of all those keen to get their hands on one, Miele have launched a teaser site and competition to win one of five of this top-of-the-range machine.

As the site itself says: “When designing our first upright vacuum cleaner, we interrogated the design from every angle. The result was the Miele S7, incorporating an innovative swivel neck for maximum agility. Like our famed cylinder vacuums, the S7 delivers optimum cleaning power. It’s also designed to last up to 20 years…”

The news hasn’t escaped the notice of the eagle-eyes over at the Money Saving Expert forum where a conversation has begun into the competition and a number of eager members have already entered in the hoping of bagging a prize.

You can’t argue with a 10/10 review - and that’s exactly what mart526330 says of the Miele TT5000 Cat & Dog vacuum over at the Review Centre.

Having sported an upright Sebo for the last eight years, moving brands was obviously a big step. With the long-awaited Miele S7 upright due for an October launch, mart526330 decided to go for a Cat & Dog and is pleased to report that the “Miele is such a strong performer”, delivering results there’s no need to shake a duster at. It has an “excellent adjustable power coupled with effective turbo brush attachment” which he says has left his carpets “spotless.”

It’s always been a problem for him “removing sock fluff etc… from beige, tight pile carpet”, but “this vacuum does that job effortlessly”. He also suggests that the Cat & Dog is “easy to use, store and move around, bag/filter replacement is also easy and mess free.” In conclusion, mart526330 seems entirely happy, being fully “satisfied…and hope it lasts as long as the Sebo!”

Following last week’s post on the Miele Cat & Dog 700, a second review has been written this time on the Review Centre.

Starsky1 has owned his machine for over six months and has awarded the Cat & Dog a full ten out of ten across all categories from Ease of Use to Overall Value and gives a particular thumbs-up to the pet hair brush head which he says “…really does pick up my pets hair - even my Border Collie’s which gets really into the carpet!” While he finds the price of the bags as “not so good”, he concedes that only having owned bagless vacuums before, any extra cost would have been more expensive that he was used to.

Starsky1 wraps up his assessment with “I’ve tried many different vacuum cleaners over the years [and] I can actually say I finally enjoy vacuuming!” To read the rest of his review hop over to the Review Centre and leave a comment or rate his review for yourself.

Whether it’s the cuteness of its name or the strength of its cleaning power, the Miele Cat & Dog inspires so much admiration among its owners, that many of them are driven to put finger to keyboard to share their thoughts and feelings with the world on just how much difference it makes to the chore of vacuuming.

This latest review from Haworth on Dooyoo echoes similar sentiments to the previous Cat & Dog reviews we ‘ve featured on Forever Better. The owner of a Cat & Dog for the past two years, Haworth describes it as “…the best vacuum I have ever had and worth every penny…” and “…It does such a good job there is no build up of dust and grime and carpets come up good as new every time”. While he concedes long human hair is sometimes a problem for the rotating brush he finds that it’s “…easily seen as it collects it all together in the first couple of passes and I just bend down and pick it up…” yet despite this he concludes by saying: “I don’t know how I would manage without it now.”

We’ve posted two previous reviews of the Miele WT2670 Washer Dryer from the Review Centre on Forever Better and can now bring you a third courtesy of eosman who’s contributed the most detailed write-up to date.

Awarding the WT2670 full marks for ease of use and durability, 9/10 for Service and Overall Value and 8/10 for Style, eosman - who’s only had the machine for a few days - has been sufficiently impressed by its ease of use and versatility, coping “…very well with 3 months unwashed clothing and more within the last 5 days since we received it…” and build quality to express his thoughts so early on. His only concern so far is that “…clothes also tend not to dry completely at times…”, but does admit that it “…may mean a wrong programme was in use, or the drum is overloaded.”

There’s been a few questions regarding vacuum cleaners on Yahoo! Answers recently with Miele being mentioned on each occassion by satisfied customers.

First, Ade Babe reports that his Dyson upright vacuum “is deceased” and wants a non-Dyson, bagless replacement. Pocketdragon, whose reply has been chosen as the ‘best answer’ states that her mother has managed to blow up three Dysons and now uses a Miele vacuum, although the one she uses is bagged. Saristin replies that she also uses a Miele “and they do really last forever” as her last vacuum was 15 years old when she gave it to a friend and it’s still going strong.

In another question, F K asks for some honest Dyson reviews and is informed by Julia Balbilla that Dysons do “nowhere near such a good job as the Miele” and that Mieles are “more solidly built”.

Sexy hotrod also has a couple of vacuum cleaner queries, as she’s thinking of getting a Dyson. Julia Balbilla again pops up to mention that she owns both a Dyson and a Miele Cat & Dog stating that “the Miele is by far the better, although heavier.”

It seems Miele is a popular choice of vacuum for users of Yahoo! Answers, so if you have any questions head over to the site and ask away.

A new review of the Miele S5260 Cat & Dog vacuum cleaner has popped up on review site Ciao! Written by ladytinkerbell, she likes the S5260 so much that she admits she “love[s] to hoover now!”

Describing the vacuum as an “excellent machine”, ladytinkerbell reports on how it is solid yet lightweight, how the metal tubes can be extended to a “fantastic length” and the head can be altered for different locations. She’s also impressed at the cleaning result, as it’s “amazing” on dog hair with the tools giving “great results” on sofas and curtains. She highlights the small brush tool as being particularly useful as she uses it everywhere including the skirting boards, door tops and even ceilings.

Though she mentions it’s a little bit “pricey”, she thinks it’s “well worth it” and wouldn’t want to use another vacuum cleaner “after experiencing this quality”. Head on over to read the full review here.

A new review of the Miele WT2670 washer dryer has popped up on Review Centre, receiving full marks in every category listed.

You may recall a previous write-up way back in April that was similarly positive and the guest author of this latest review thinks the WT2670 is “a brilliant machine”, listing a number of good points including ease of use, extensive programmes and the “excellent wash results”. The author is also impressed by the machine telling you “how much detergent you need based on the programme and weight of load”.

“Don’t even bother to waste your money on a cheaper alternative” concludes the author. He’s had a Miele for 15 years and it’s still working “brilliantly” today despite never having been serviced. Head on over for the full review here.

Faithlessone, a housewife with four children, has written a lengthy review of the Miele W1514 over at Dooyoo, finding that it has “numerous innovative features” which must come in very useful given the “exceptional amount” of washing she does.

Stating that she needs a machine that can deliver “several times a day”, she believes that the W1514 does this. After a brief history of Miele, faithlessone writes on how she thinks the blocked drain outlet is a great idea, the design is “very attractive” and a detailed explanation of how each programme works and how heavy a load can be put in for each one. She’s also a fan of the digital display which shows how long a cycle has left to go and her favourite ‘special feature’ is the automatic wash programme as it gives “the best possible washing results possible”.

Though faithlessone thinks Miele are a little more expensive than the competition, it’s worth it as “you do get what you pay for and if it lasts 20 years it will be well worth the money”. Read the full review, leave a comment or rate the review here.
