I bought this vacuum because I have three cats and my Fiance is allergic so I wanted something that would both pick up the hair as well as not spit it or blow it back out. This vacuum has as good suction as any and the power brush attachment is superior for carpets. My negative comments are that the vacuum is heavy and cumbersome. Can't use power brush on stairs because it is so big and heavy. Also I prefer bag less vacuums but I had three dysons and they all lost suction within a year. I also think the price for the miele is a bit much but if it lasts I think it will be worth it. Also, I have no place to store it because the hose is so big so I just leave it out like a piece of furniture. But since great suction and less dust is my priority, it was worth it to me. It is also quiet when on.Read full review
My friend who lived in Germany had a Miele vacuum and raved about it, so tired of constantly buying new vacuum cleaners because either they do not pick up well, they are heavy and loud or they stop functioning after a year, I decided to spend the money and buy a Miele. I LOVE my Miele!! it takes a while to get used to the canister format but once you have used it a few times it is great and easy to navigate with. It is not heavy and the attachments are easy to change, you move easily with it as you vacuum stairs. it is great on my furniture. The suction is incredible and what I love best is the floor head because it gets all the crumbs that gather by the kitchen cabinets even in the toughest spots! It has bags that are easy to change, I hate bagless vacuums! they are gross to change. The Miele Callisto is a great vacuum cleaner.Read full review
This is an absolutely fabulous machine.Great suction ,lightweight,and SUPER QUIET!!! That impressed me the most.My daughter is a vacuuming fanatic, We've had most of the high end models and replaced our Dyson with this.The Dyson animal worked great but was awkward and loud,and as it got older it got LOUDER..This vac so far does an equally good vacuuming as the Dyson did.The Dyson was upright and bagless, The Miele is neither.However as a canister I was surprised at the mobility, I wasn"t sure how much I would like dragging this behind me.However, surprisingly it just lightly rolls along behind you. I personally don"t know anyone who has one, so I went by the reviews on the internet and hopefully I'm as happy as the rest of the Miele vac owners. They are very costly as is the Dysons so they are a MAJOR purchase..However if they deliver what they promise to do and last, then they are worth the investment..Cheaper vacuums only last around here about a year, I've had the Kirby, that THING still gives me nightmares.I gave that monstrosity away and purchased the Dyson, which we have really abused for about five years. These Mieles were rated better among users, so this time I"m going with the Miele. So far so good...I can"t find anything to complain about , not even the price. I got mine on good old Ebay .If this vac continues to function the way it is now , everyone that I know will replace their vacs with the Miele when the time comes to replace their old ones... If it doesn't I'm running to town and buying another Dyson Animal. It might be loud but it will suck more dirt than you can see with the naked eye. The Miele has big shoes to fill...Read full review
The Callisto is a substantial, powerful, full-featured powerhouse complete with the very best from Miele. Flawless HEPA filtration, an infinite number of attachments available, an incredibly durable motor, a beautiful ABS plastic case with a black mirror finish--this vacuum will continue to impress for years. The only flaws I've found are minor. As others have pointed out, it's heavy (14 lbs). Also, the power switch can sometimes take a couple of pushes to engage. Overall though, it's a pleasure to use.
Overall, I am really impressed with the Miele S5281 Callisto Canister. Although, it isn't as quiet as I imagined based my research (particularily on the highest suction) it is quieter than our old upright. You can tell the quality is much better than a lower-end vaccum (e.g. hose). Easy to use around the house and on the stairs. Absoultely love the parquet floor twister...makes hard wood floor clean up not so cumbersome. Would I get it again...YES!
