Miele gets top ratings

The November issue of Consumer Reports (CR) hit the newsstands last month and usually I would have an issue with their top picks. That's NOT the case this year as Miele topped both upright and canister categories!

However, some clarification is in order since the number one rated canister has been discontinued recently.  The S5 Callisto canister is now the S8 Kona model (pictured) and some design features are greatly improved.  The suction power is the same as well as the power nozzle.

The Twist is the number one upright; it is Miele’s base model within the upright series.



Be aware it is CR’s tradition to rate a less expensive model of whatever brand as #1 or a ‘Best Buy’ since it costs less.  That may not be the best model for you and that’s where we come in.  We know every detail of every Miele model so once you tell us what’s important to you – and what surfaces you’re vacuuming – we’ll help you pick the right model for your needs not just CR's 'best buy'.
