Miele S8590 Alize Canister Vacuum Cleaner



Amazing - the best gets better
We bought our first Miele vacuum 14 years ago. It has been the best vacuum either my wife or I have ever used. I did replace some parts a few years back, making it good as new. Part of the beauty of buying a quality item from a manufacturer not bent on perpetual profit means you can buy quality parts rather than throwing the machine away and buying new every two years.

As much as we loved our Miele, it did has some imperfections. Not flaws, just things that could be improved. Miele must have read our minds (or paid attention to customer feedback) because they have addressed every one of those imperfections - and more - with this unit.

Swivel wheels greatly improve maneuverability; the larger chassis allows the onboard tools to nest more easily and extends the bag changing interval, yet is noticeably lighter; the new "auto" mode actually works, reducing suction if you accidentally grab onto something you shouldn't; the ergo handle is a stroke of genius; the...

Bare / Wood Floors
Just got the S8590 yesterday after doing a bit of research over a few months before making a decision. Granted this model is a little spendy, I felt the price was worth it for what we were getting. I didn't want something made in China and had seen a number of bad reviews about reliability and build quality with a number of other brands such as Electrolux.

I recently installed wood floors after tearing out all of the carpet in my house. My Bissel which was great on carpet and supposedly good for bare floors, wasn't doing so great with picking stuff up off of the wood floors. I also did not want to empty and clean out the canister anymore. It seemed slick for a while to be able to see what you were sucking up, but opening the canister to empty it just releases a lot of the allergens right back into the environment. Plus emptying it outside when it's freezing out isn't very fun either if I was trying to avoid letting the dust back out into my house.

Anyway,...

Best Vacuum That I Have Ever Used or Owned!
This is hands down the best vacuum that I have ever used or owned in my entire life. I am a stay-at-home husband in a house with an infant, 3 cats, and 1 dog. We have all hardwood floors and tried a few different vacuums before decided that it was time to invest in a quality product. It was worth our money. I vacuum more often in less time now.

Noise: I can vacuum on the highest level in the same room while our 4 month old sleeps. It is that quiet.

Power: Our home was built in 1754 with mostly original floors. We have cracks everywhere and the cats track litter in every last one. It gets everything!

Weight: It's light as can be. I don't know how something so good could possibly get lighter.

Accessories: It has everything that I needed for a full home.

Bag System: With all the litter and animal hair in our house, the bags fill-up faster than I had hoped... since they are costly. But 4 pets and a quality vacuum are...
