Lots of great quality of life features, everything functions well, good quality materials. It is also makes very little noise, especially on the lower settings, I was probably getting hearing damage from my old Dyson!

 

Should last years if it’s anything like the previous one Miele cat and dog

 

No frills – but lightweight and powerful
great for all surfaces especially carpeted stairs !

 

The power suction Is brilliant a button to slide up and down for the pressure, low to high and on high is very powerful , a lovely looking hoover love it thank you

 

I was recommended by my cleaner years ago that Miele were the best vacuum cleaners on the market. I have never looked back!

 

Had vax bag less a long time ago and a gtec with no end of problems so had a good think and decided I was fed up with the bag less cordless lightest weight rubbish that doesn’t get the best results and can be unreliable. I have used Miele years ago as a cleaner in people’s own homes so looked and found this blue junior Miele, suction is very powerful and believe me it’s shocking what these new style hoovers miss, another good thing about the Miele Junior is it is lighter than the other models so makes it easier, love this Miele junior, fast delivery from Amazon also bought hoover bags from Amazon, sometimes the more traditional hoovers are best it’s worth a few extra minutes and even an extension plug cord if need be, if you want satisfaction that the house is clean Miele is my first choice also note I have pets and will put picture on as I have cut open the bag to show exactly what I’m talking abou

 

After owning a cat and dog version, I decided to replace it with this smaller version. It is light and pulls along easily. The new hose connection is better than the old ones. It is powerful and I have yet to require going even half way up the power levels. It’s got a convenient tool holder which is easy to install and use. It’s great for vacuuming the car as well.

 

I had a Miele vacuum prior to this and it sadly died one day but not due to the harsh terrain it had to deal with – 5 adults, a dog, 4 cats, chickens, rabbits and the rest – but because someone forgot to pull out all the cable when using it, it got too hot and blew the engine. And that warning was in the manual, so not Miele’s fault. Our cleaner had battled away and given a stellar result for over ten years. BUT these cleaners are unbreakable if you use them properly and are designed to give 20 years of service which I (and some friends who also have Mieles) can certainly agree with.

The Germans know how to do engines and machinery and Miele are market leaders for a reason. After having bought one I’ll never buy another brand. For the slight increase in cost, overall you’re getting a machine that will last and will never reduce in performance over those years.

So this new to me model was a slight upgrade on my last – and wow. So quiet, even on the highest setting! I haven’t been able to use it at anything higher than the 3rd speed of 6 because the 3rd is giving me so much suction power there’s no need. It reassures me that there’s plenty more power to use should I need it. Fantastic.

It’s not especially light but that to me is a good thing as there’s some serious machinery tucked away inside it and it gives it some solidity to it, so it’s stable and won’t go flying off anywhere on its own. Even with this, you can trust Miele to attach the most smooth and slippery castors so manoeuvrability is top notch. It’s extremely easy to move and with 8.50m of cable length there’s a lot less need to go back and forth to unplug and plug in to different spots around the house. Really useful touch.

This model comes with both a standard head and an amazing turbo head (both suck at full power right up to the edges of their heads unlike some cleaners – so nice to not have to get out the crevice tool for this type of thing!) which I never had before that really beats the carpet with its internal roller head and brings up more dirt, especially hair which can sometimes be hard to get hold of. Cleaning it is a bit of a faff – you have to cut through the hair with scissors to get it off the roller – I think Miele should look at finding a way around this but for now I can live with it. Watch out with the turbo brush though, it literally sucks in everything it gets close to (including your own hair) so don’t raise it off the ground if you use it, Miele warn very clearly about this.

This cleaner also comes with a mini turbo head brush so you can use the same power brush action to lift up dirt on awkward jobs like stairs or carpets in cars and it works exactly the same as the large turbo brush.

Another upgrade for me from my last model is that all the parts are now kept tucked away in the body of the cleaner whereas before they balanced on the outside of it. I really like that. Nice and tidy and accessible.

Finally, Miele have simplified the way the cleaner is used, from the foot operated buttons to switch it on and off, on the opposite side the button to retract the cable (literally one tap will bring the whole length in rather than you having to stand on the button until it’s finished), at a glance lights illuminating which suction level you’re using, the click system to attach heads and extensions, the sliding mechanism to extend the cleaner arm (so easy! so smooth!), even the sliding vent in the arm moves well too. As before the bag replacement operation is a doddle and clean to do (some cleaner manufacturers’ bags give you a puff of dirt as you remove the bag but Miele bags have a little flap that stops that – aren’t they the best?!), filter replacement is simple and when it’s job is done, you can pack your cleaner away either flat with the arm slotted in at the base of the unit or even upright and the arm slotted into the side of the unit.

If you buy this Miele cleaner or probably any of them you won’t be disappointed!

Oh one more thing, for a vacuum cleaner, it’s also a beautiful looking item. Very sleek, stylish and modern! Enjoy!
