Miele vs Simplicity vs something else?
Original Message May 24, 2011 7:47 am

Everyone recommends a different vacuum--I thought I narrowed it down to a Miele canister (for my mix of hardwood and area rugs), but doing further research I found out about Simplicity and Sebo. So what to buy? The sales guy at my local shop suggested a Miele Polaris (S4 series). I'm not thrilled about spending $400, but I want to get something that is effective (my husband and daughter have dust allergies), easy to use (I'm not a great housekeeper) and will last--my husband doesn't want to buy another vacuum cleaner (haha). After reading their brochure, I called about the Miele Olympus (S2 series), which is $100 cheaper. I'm not convinced the Polaris is worth the extra $100--any thoughts? Can I add the carpet attachments to the Olympus if I need to down the road? Is it worth looking into the Sebo or Simplicity? I would have to drive an hour to a shop that sells either of those. And then there's the Panasonic--cheaper, but worth it? I appreciate any feedback I can get.

There is no comparison between the S4 and S2 comparing build quality and Sealed system. The S4 is a VERY well built, solid machine with a totally sealed system. I hope the new replacement for the S4 will have the same quality as the present S4 and not the S2.

Well as the owner of the new S6 which is the replacement for the S4, have a look at this German video on You Tube. You don't need to understand the German language to see what the poster has done - they compared the S6 to the S5 and the S6 seems okay until he/she hits a screwdriver off the side. (The music is fab though : ) )
