Vacuum cleaner : Dyson versus Miele
QUESTION: Does anybody know where to find information on the Miele vacuum cleaner
which is supposed to be better the Dyson ? I cannot find anything on
Internet.
I live in France and apparently nobody has heard anything about a Miele one.
Thanks for your help
ANSWER: If you were a UK subscriber to Which? OnLine (
operated for the UK Consumers' Association) you'd be able to access
their reports on vacuum cleaners. IIRC the Miele does well, which was
one reason I bought one three years ago. The other reason was that the
Miele can be fitted with an exhaust filter to remove microscopic
particles which produce allergic reactions - and I've found a noticeable
improvement in my (allergic) asthma as a result. Which? found the Dyson
quite good, but (IIRC) noisy, and emptying it without generating mess
and getting yourself dusty was not simple (because it has no dust bag).
Miele do a range of cleaners. I'd recommend getting one with the
adjustable length hose attachment, unless all potential users are the
same height and find the fixed-length rigid hose ideal. Also, if any
potential user has a minor disability such as arthritis, some models
have a speed/power control operated by a sliding rather than a rotary
control, and this can be pushed with a foot. We're very satisfied with
our Miele.
