Miele S4212 Polaris Canister Vacuum Cleaner Review

If you are like most people you may not have heard about Miele before. That is totally understandable since the brand awareness for Miele is still below Eureka, Hoover or Bissel. However, being a less-known brand does not mean Miele don't know what they're doing. The Miele All New S4212 Polaris canister vacuum cleaner is one canister vacuum that can eat its competitors alive.

Pros

The Miele S4212 is a compact, lightweight and easy to use vacuum. Those three points are huge pluses compared to some upright vacuums which are bulky, heavy and require good muscle power to push around. Using this vacuum on carpets and bare floors is really a fun experience. And when you're done vacuuming you can easily store it away in small cabinet thanks to its small size.

The suction power is where this canister vacuum really excels. Most of the times you only need to set the power to the lowest setting. Even when using the lowest power setting the Miele S4212 can clean the floor thoroughly and effortlessly. Unless you live in a dumpster, you will most likely never need to use the maximum power (1200 Watts).

Earplugs and portable music players are not required when operating this canister vacuum. You don't need those two to protect your hearing since Miele S4212 is very quiet when used. It may seem unbelievable that a strong vacuum such as this would not produce ear-banging sound but it is the fact. Even when your children or pets are near you when you operate this machine they won't mind the sound.

The other good things about this vacuum are the retractable power cord, telescopic steel wand and functional accessories.

Cons

The only thing that can be said as the negative point for this vacuum is the power cord. The cord is quite short so you may need to buy a separate extension cord if you don't wish to keep switching between power outlets when vacuuming your home.

Conclusion

If you're looking for a lightweight and powerful vacuum cleaner the Miele S4212 Polaris should be in your to-buy list. You may be worried because Miele is a less-known brand but you should learn that performance and reliability are what matter most. You can opt to spend $400 to get a new Miele S4212 Polaris or spend it on an inefficient, loud and overly-priced vacuum from a famous brand.
