Miele Galaxy Vacuums

A Star Series From Miele

Despite its strong suction, the Miele S4 Galaxy and the latest S5 vacuums make hardly any noise at all when in use.

It is also a state-of-the-art machine made from durable materials that resist corrosion and age, making it tough and good-looking--a rare combination.

Canister vacuums with this kind of ability are usually heavy, clunky machines.

Miele set out to solve this problem by creating the sexy sports car of canister vacuums.

Each Miele Galaxy vacuum weighs in at an average of 10-15 pounds, depending on the specific model you choose. All of them are much lighter than the counterparts offered by other brands.

The Miele Galaxy Review

Miele S5280 Galaxy

Some of the best features of the Galaxy series are as follows:

• Lightweight, easy to move and position
• Removable hose
• Extendable wand
• 1200-watt sealed suction power
• Powerful air filter—removes 99 percent of airborne pathogens as small as 0.3 micron size
• Standard crevice, upholstery, and power brush tools
• Easy to assemble and use
• Ergonomic handle

The two best Galaxy vacuums are those in the Miele Galaxy S5 Series: the Capricorn and the Aquarius. Both are admirable machines that are almost as much fun to look at as they are to use.

The main difference between them is a slight variation in appearance and the fact that the S5 Capricorn comes with a hose handle. Other than that they are nearly twins in terms of brilliant engineering and sleek looks.

The list of goodies on this vacuum series is long and impressive. One consumer favorite is a deluxe power brush that can handle many surfaces, including upholstery. Your electrical power head can be switched from big to small, but Miele also equipped the Galaxy vacuums with a mid-size power brush for versatility.

Small power brushes are tedious because they don't cover enough space, whereas large ones are overkill in most cases as well as cumbersome to handle. The mid-size fits in most areas where the average consumer need it, it also covers a surprising amount of surface space so that your cleaning gets done in no time at all.

Consumers also enjoy the customized accessories, like a brush that can clean hardwood floors or the HEPA filter that traps tiny microorganisms, right down to 0.3 micron size. This filter will remove 99 percent of such tiny debris from your household, making it perfectly comfortable for even the most severe allergy and asthma sufferers.

Assembling a Galaxy vacuum is easy because of its ingenious design. The vacuum will be in two parts when it arrives at your door; all you need to do is click the canister and the wand together, and you're ready to attack any mess that comes your way!

You'll also enjoy the wide range of color options for this sleek vacuum. It's like buying a brand new car, especially when you flip the switch and experience for yourself the soft, powerful purr of Miele's 1200 watt motor.

Cleaning becomes a pleasure with any Galaxy vacuum. Part of this is due to the comfortable ergonomic handle that Miele has put on the wand section for your convenience.

Upright vacuums are often difficult to maneuver and other canister models may require you to bend over, causing long-term back pain. Miele's ergonomic design means that you can reach any space you wish without causing undue pain and stress for your body. Let the vacuum do the work.

Miele vacuums are famous for their intelligent German engineering and the Galaxy series is no exception: it features especially impressive suction power. You will get a 1200-watt motor in a completely sealed system, meaning that your Miele Galaxy vacuum can achieve an airflow rate of 141 cubic feet per minute.

If you want to turn it down a notch for gentler cleaning, each Miele vacuum is also equipped with a special regulator that allows you to customize your cleaning experience to fit your needs.

Advantages

For being such a little vacuum, this series packs a punch in terms of cleaning power and long-lasting parts. One good example of this is the way in which each air filter lasts through 5 dust bags.

Most consumers report that their HEPA filter lasts for at least a year and has improved the air quality in their house. Add this to the fact that the Miele is extremely well-engineered and durable, and you have a vacuum that will last for years without maintenance. Talk about no hidden costs!

Miele is so confident that you will be satisfied with their vacuum that they offer a 10-year warranty on every Galaxy model.

Disadvantages

Consumers report confusion when trying to differentiate between different models in the Miele Galaxy series. They finally found that almost all the Galaxy vacuums are at the same high quality, and that the price differences between levels are mostly due to difference in accessories.

Consumer Reviews

Consumers like: Suction power Lightweight design Durability and reliability—almost no maintenance Low long-term costs 10-year warranty Versatility (can clean computer keyboards or suck up gravel) Quiet Gets hard-to-reach places with ease Telescoping wand with clip HEPA filter option

Consumers don't like: Short power cord Parquet brush sold separately Despite cost variation, only minor differences between models Some models do not include basic floor tool

Summary

The price tag on this vacuum series may seem intimidating at first, but consumers all agree that it saves you money in the long-term. They also report that for the first time ever, cleaning is a joy rather than a chore.

The lowest rating found anywhere on a Miele Galaxy vacuum was four out of five stars—most give it 100 percent satisfaction, backed by Miele's 10 year warranty guarantee.
