Miele Antares S4210 Vacuum Cleaners Product Reviews

The Miele Antares is an entry level canister vacuum that, despite its small size, performs to a level that many of the traditional brands cannot touch. Compact and light, this vacuum rolls easily over most surfaces and can get to those hard to reach places where dust bunnies like to hide, like under the bed. The Antares' simple yet effective design makes it ideal for almost any home. After trying this vacuum out on several different surfaces, cleaning a variety of messes, this is what I found:

What I like about the Antares

The suction of the Antares, coupled with the turbo brush, makes it ideal for low to medium pile carpet. The Turbo Brush makes picking up hard-to-extract fibers like pet hair easy, and the Parquet Floor Brush is a standard but effective tool for smooth surfaces, i.e. tile, granite, hardwoods. Whether dirt, pet hair, or whatever it may be, the Antares was able to lift it all from the dirty surfaces.

Though the entire suction system of the Antares is a sealed system, the self sealing bags are a definite plus. Seemingly simple enough, they are so much easier and convenient to change than traditional bags which can spill or expel dust while changing.

While the motor certainly packs enough punch to clean nearly any surface, it is much quieter than many of the other vacuums currently on the market. This, combined with its light weight and nimble mobility, makes vacuuming seem much less like a chore.

The cost is very reasonable. Compared some of the other traditional vacuums on the market, the Antares may seem expensive, but you literally get what you pay for. When you consider all the small conveniences (auto cord rewind, easy storage, wand park, self sealing bags) as well as its overall performance, the Antares is an economical choice.

What I do not like about the Antares

Though built for it, a HEPA filter does not come standard with the Antares. For those most concerned with allergies and removing allergens from their homes, purchasing the HEPA filter is an added expense with this model. In addition, because the HEPA filter is not standard, the Antares lacks a filter change indicator light, a feature that is built into many of the other Miele models.

For those who have high pile carpet such as shag, you will find that while the Antares will clean it, the task is not as easy as one would hope. For thicker carpets I would suggest a Capricorn, Aquarius or possibly the Callisto.

Overall, as an entry level Miele, this model is excellent for people with smooth surface floors or low to medium pile carpet. It would work well for those who do and do not own pets alike. I suggest opting for the HEPA particularly for those with allergies. But even if you don't order the HEPA filter initially, it can always be added at a later time.
