Had this Miele S5210 Cylinder cleaner for 18 months, and it has burnt out. I bought Miele as I expected good quality and durability, but this was neither. The bag full indicator permanently jammed, the tool opening cover was flimsy and kept popping open, the tools are awkward to position correctly to close cover, the suction is OK with a new bag, but the bags fill up and block very quickly. If you re-use a bag it is tricky to empty and performs badly. Bag capacity is low so you really need to buy a lot of new bags (and filters). cord retraction drags a bit. Would not recommend. Very disappointed. I live in a small house with hard floors, no pets. The vacuum has not had a hard life. I will now get a cheap temporary vacuum, and save up for a Dyson.
