• An indicator lamp in the event the vacuum would overheat is included as well as an automatic shut-off which is one of the great safety features.

The parquet floor brush as well as the brush bar is integrated into this vacuum so that you can clean wood floors and carpet alike. The dust brush is great for using on all your breakables. A crevice tool and an upholstery attachment is included to take care of your furniture.

Utilizing the best in insulating products for the quietest running motor, you can even hear the telephone ringing or the doorbell. This is an important aspect especially when used by a family. Miele Callisto vacuums are dedicated to providing the best features available.

Protecting furniture and walls from accidental bumping and marring is another aspect taken into consideration when designing the Miele Callisto vacuum. The wrap-around protection afforded by this vacuum is great if you have antique furniture you do not want ruined.

The indicator for warning the user when the dust bag is full is another feature that comes in very handy. The indicator will let you know it is time for another bag and this allows for optimum pick up of dirt and debris.

A HEPA filter that will remove 99.99% of the allergens and dust to 0.3 microns is great for those who suffer from allergies. There is also an activated charcoal that will reduce odors that get trapped in the air of your home.

The dust bags that are standard with the Miele Callisto are larger than normal which cuts down on the need to replace them constantly. They will last longer, adding the benefit of saving money on bags.

In the event the vacuum would overheat, there is an indicator for this as well. This feature includes an automatic shut down of the vacuum so there is no danger to the user.

Advantages

The Miele Callisto is a lightweight vacuum that is easy to transport from room to room as well as upstairs when needed. The suction power was very impressive even when moving from tile or wood floors to carpet. There was no debris left on the floors that needed to be gone over several times to pick up.

The on-board tools were very handy. They were easy to use and replace once you were finished with them. A dust brush which is included works great on furniture and there is no need to worry about scratching antique or new furniture.

Disadvantages

The Miele Callisto being reviewed is a canister type vacuum. Many people are more familiar with an upright vacuum and may find the canister type as somewhat of a hassle when storing and using. Another aspect when changing the dust bags was the need to consult the manual. This was not immediately apparent.

Summary

The Miele Callisto S5280 only weighs 13.5 pounds and is one of the better looking vacuums available today. The black design combined with the sleek European look makes this a very nice looking vacuum and its suction power will definitely do wonders on carpet and hard flooring.
