Miele Powerhouse Vacuum Cleaners - Positive Factors
- Streamline design with excellent maneuverability: These fashionable vacuum cleaners are fairly lightweight and compact for upright vacuums, providing for easy maneuver and store.
- Unique roller brush height adjustment button (beater bar): This button allows to turn the beater bar off in order to easily make transitions and clean flat floor surfaces.
- Automatic height adjustment: This feature adjusts the cleaning head in accordance with the height of the carpet for convenient and easy vacuuming.
- Variable power control: The S179, S184 and S185 have variable power control for ease in vacuuming area rugs, upholstery and other less durable surfaces. The power control also serves as the on/off switch for these models.
- Automatic powerbrush shut-off: Once placed in the upright position, the powerbrush automatically turns off to prevent damaging a variety of floor surfaces.
- Easy to change and store onboard tools for specialized cleaning: Flexibility of changing the tools to clean and vacuum all hard to reach places – picture rails, baseboards, pleated lampshades, upholstery and more.
- Low profile: After tapping on the foot pedal for the second time, the vacuum will lower to the floor enabling the cleaning under furniture.
- Bag change indicator and strong 4.9 quart dust bags: Miele’s new intensive clean type Z bags are durable, strong and a decent size at 4.9 quarts. The indicator on the upper body of the machine notifies the time to change the bag by turning red.
- Front cleaning edge: The front cleaning edge on these vacuum cleaners allows to pick up dust and dirt against walls, furniture and more.
Miele Powerhouse Vacuum Cleaners - Negative Factors
- Awkward to remove and re-connect hose support and connection pipe: Even though the length of the hose is appreciable, bending down to detach it and hose support seem awkward. The hose support must be removed in order to effectively use the full radius of the hose.
- No filter indicator light: The hepa filters used by Miele Powerhouse vacuum cleaners are good, but it would be much more convenient if there was an indicator light to tell when to change the filter instead of using the trial and error method.
- Erratic foot pedal: Even though it is not a big deal, the foot pedal must be pressed down a couple of times in order to lower the cleaning head.
