Hey all, I know the main topic of convo in this thread should belong in Vacland but Im not yet a member there (I intend to at some pint but not just yet.... waiting til I have something vintage maybe my dream Hoover Senior 652E IIRC the model number of my Nans Blue one)
Anyways there aree more pics of Mums almost finished kitchen coming up INCL the great new fridge freezer we got.
But first things first,
Under any circumstances have I not joined the cylinder cleaners appreciation club! I much still prefer an upright (who dosnt these days? LOL) but yesterday the curiosity of a Miele Cylinder got the better of me.
So it was off to currys and comet where i narrowed it down to 2 models, the Pet TT and the S5210.
Because Im too much of an upright fan I wont ever be without one so the option of turbo brushes and the such isnt really an issue, the well designed big floor attachment is more than ample at removing pet hairs and other dirt so the uber trendy black and silver S5210 came home with me from Comet, £139.99.
Its got great suction and built very well, It even put the Electrolux to shame after I hoovered with that then went over the caprpet with the Miele!
Ive used it mainly on the Economy/Daily setting which is perfect for the daily once over and if im honest the full 2200w was a bit too strong and i found the wand a touch to hard to push over thick carpets. Its very quiet in operation and the soft start motor is a bonus even though it seems to take an age to register in your ears that its actually on and running hehe.
Only 1 gripe ive found and thats user error in the fact I couldnt do a top to bottom clean in 1 swoop. Its too much for my back and after attempting to do top to bottom, I gave up after 15 minutes to give my aching back a rest. Not something I get with the upright.
Lots of unsuaual touches you wouldnt know about until yoou read the instruction manual like the static electricity metal inlay on the handle, not something you come across on most vacs but I guess if Miele put it there it must be of use, but Ive never had a problem with static when cleaning up fine dust on other cleaners. Could this be because its so powerful Mieles do charge the particles as they hurl up the tubes?
Filters are interchangeable and I can add a HEPA filter if I wish to do so, dont think il bother as the 7 stage filtration system is more than adeqaute.
I think this is worth a good laugh though, whilst chosing in Currys the sales assistant so deperately tried to get me to buy the dyson cylinder with telescopic wrap around hose on the Dyson 5 year gurantee and the fact is bagless despite me saying several times it was a Miele i wanted for the excellent quality.
the only thing she could say to that was and I quote..... "Miele is NOT a name she would recommnd for Quality"???????? she didnt get the sale!
Comet were much more up to date with Miele philosophy and the sales gut who served me seemed to think it was an excellent choice which he was right.
Only snag was he did attempt to sell me an extra warranty twice but he soon gave up when I pressed with the words "Im buying Miele so I dont want one" LOL
anyway heres some pics as promised of the 2 new toys I got to play with yesterday,
