Miele S 380

The vacuum cleaner is of good robust design and excellent suction.

The vacuum cleaner brush head is poor in that it is difficult to move particularly on any carpet finish. I had to go and buy a turbo brush. I would suggest Meile ditch the standard head and provide a turbo head. Also as a first purchase it would be...

works really well and gets up animal hair

some bits a bit flimsy,

It's a good looking machine and quite light. It does appear to be powerful enough for a family size house and even picks up needles from Christmas tree which I understand not all vacuum cleaners do! My last machine was an electrolux which I had for...

Took a while to get used to it. Found it hard work to use if not at the right height. With the correct attachment it is easier. Have to keep cleaning head as hairs/fluff accumulate quickly when using on carpet which is time consuming.

Light in weight and easy to manoeuvre. Quiet. Efficient at picking up just about anything.

Could do with a clip on the base to attach the hose to when not in use, i.e. when the vacuum is upright.

Could be a bit slimer and lighter but this is not a major issue. Also as this is an old model could be a bit cheaper as at the end of the day is a heap of plastic. I would also extend a cable for a meter or so but this length is not so bad.

I've worked with a whole range of Miele vacuum cleaners and I've been recommending them for years to everyone. Although this model has a lower power than their other ones it doesn't make any difference at the end of the day as you'll never have to use...

The only 3 relatively negative points I can bring up is that it doesn't have the telescopic tube that makes the other Miele models so easy to store, and that just like the other models, it is bagged, but these shouldn't put anyone off. The colour is...
