Miele Solaris with a power plus beater head
by Gary D. Warren
(Citrus Heights,Calif. USA)
The Miele Solaris uses the beater head with the worst construction I have ever seen. It will suck up loose hair and debris until the belt starts jumping and eventually jams.
The engineering is exceedingly poor and the plastic is crap. Routing of wiring in the head is alright but the wiring retainers are worthless.
The Miele Solaris vacuum itself runs well but the tool cover falls off whenever you bump something or are not perfectly straight when you try to close it.
The bags are to small and to expensive and I for one do not think the Hepa filter is any good. (personal opinion).
I would not recommend this vacuum to anyone. Oh and the price is outrageous.
