S8320 Cat & Dog

Wenn Du soviel Geld in die Hand nimmst: Miele CX - Serie; hat mein Schwager, ist gut. Wobei ich immer noch ein Freund von Beutelsaugern bin, die Beutel bringen einen preislich nicht um (und sind anders als Tintenpatronen nicht gechipt, günstige Drittanbieter also möglich) und sind sauberer. Du kannst die heutigen Staubsauger dennoch nicht mit denen von früher™ vergleichen - die Technik heute ist zwar effizienter, aber an die 2200W - Dinger kommt sie dennoch nicht ran. Quelle: haben einen neuen 890W Miele und einen älteren mit 2200W - der nuckelt wesentlich schneller mit der XL-Parkettdüse (übrigens sehr zu empfehlen) über den Boden.

I see the appeal of a stick. I have a V15. It’s about 3 yrs old. It’s primary role is for in-between cleans, small messes. Touch-ups. But, if I am going to vac our main living areas or the entire house, I can get the job done a lot faster with my Miele. If I am going to deep clean the carpet, I don’t pre-vac with my V15. I use my Kirby. If I am going to detail a vehicle, Miele. If I am going to use attachments for deep cleaning, Miele.

S8s are super, super easy to repair. What broke? The C3 is still available in some stores, even from Miele directly. I tried many other vacs and couldn’t find one that had the power and comfort and the S8/C3. The Guard L1 models are slightly less powerful, but still very good vacs.

Alternatively, the Sebo E3 is probably the closest thing. It doesn’t have as much power, and it isn’t available with HEPA-13 (or HEPA at all), nor is it as comfortable to use but they are very durable and well-engineered. People that don’t like them tend to not like them because of the hose, which is also a common complaint with the D4. Overall, the C3 is significantly more comfortable to use, more power, superior filtration, more aggressive carpet performance, more suitable for residential applications. If it is the motor in your S8 that died, the motors can be replaced in 2 - 5 mins. Very easy, not expensive. $130!USD is what I see that listed at.

This is the one. It's fantastic, and has lasted us over a decade

The Miele dog and cat vacuum, the red one. It's sooo good and i have a rough collie 😀

Miele S series bagged vacuums are one of the GOAT imo. Ours has lasted years and if you buy generic bags, upkeep is a minimum

Prices in Europe are more reasonable for Miele, Sebo and the Henry. Miele S series, Sebo K series and Henry would be the models I'ld be looking at.

Used Miele S series are also really good value and reliable, plus repairs are super easy too.

Miele cat & dog the old bagged one. I’ve seen it still sold at jb hifi (it’s still bagged but not as power hungry as the older model from early 2000s)

Miele is the way to go - BUT you need to clean and maintain it well. Change the bags and filters regularly, don't vacuum up wet things

Can't buy cordless for life because the heads die eventually. Go with a bagged Miele, they have a dedicated pet hair head that you can replace if it ever breaks.

I agree. I’ve had many, and I honestly think they are really good at marketing. I recently bought the Miele cat and dog and it’s so much better. I’m also happy to be back to a bagged vacuum.
