Miele S5280 Callisto Galaxy Series Canister Vacuum Cleaner

Great suction for a canister vacuum

The S5280 Callisto Galaxy is actually our second Miele canister vacuum cleaner. The first one was bought around 10 years ago and was a terrific vacuum the entire time. It would clean every floor in our home without leaving behind that telltale vacuuming odor that other models do. The suction power was always consistent and the bags were easy to replace. They never leaked any dust out which was much better than some other vacuums I have seen in action. This canister lasted faithfully until I accidentally sent it down a flight of stairs.

The new Miele S5280 has an electric brush and wow, what a difference this makes over our prior vacuum cleaner. It really works great and is night and day better than our prior Miele, which we thought worked great at that time. While we have mostly hardwoods, on the few carpets that we do have this new brush removes everything that an upright would. This is worth the purchase price alone.

My opinion is if you can afford it then you should buy a machine that has an electric style brush, mostly if you have carpets in your house. The S5280 Callisto Galaxy Series is a fantastic vacuum, no doubt, but they really shine on carpets. If you have almost all hard floors then the cheaper Miele models would work fine. However, if you will be vacuuming carpets then spend the extra money on this one and enjoy the electric brush.
