Advantages: Quiet, excellent Miele quality, it works!

Disadvantages: Slider valve can fall off

The Miele Cat and Dog is easily the best vacuum cleaner we have ever owned. We have 2 cats and 2 young children and it just takles everthing you throw at it. The previous Bosch hoover lasted 2 years and packed up. In comparison, it never really got all of the hairs of the carpet upon close inspection, however the Miele is brilliant.

The Miele comes with an excellent turbo brush for carpet which spins and gets all of the hair out of the carpet, a smaller turbo brush (telescopic pole must be removed) suitable for stairs, bedding, furniture etc, a standard large head for wooden floors and carpets. In addition, there is also a set of onboard tools within the top of the hoover and you can also purchase other tools from Miele such a venetian blind tool which we are thinking of getting.

It comes with several speed settings, a telescopic pole, long auto-retract power cord and a 2 year warranty. We extended the warranty for about £100 to give it 5 years as this also included the bags which worked out at about £60 to buy seperately - well worth it.

Please note this is a bagged cleaner, but with the extended warrantly the bags work out very cheap and are so easy to replace don;t have to worry about emptying and cleaning the cylinder etc.

My onle niggles with the Miele is (1) the mini turbo brush could do with being on a knuckle joint like the big one so that it can be angled from upright when cleaning and (2) there is a plastic slider valve on the handle to increase/decrease vacuum which can easily slide off.

Get this vacuum you will not be dissaspointed.
