 Worth the Money!
Reviewed by: Finally found the Best! from Arizona
I researched the internet for several weeks before making my decision to buy the Miele Callisto. I am extremely happy with my purchase! I called Achoo Allergy several times with questions before making my purchase and their customer service was outstanding. This was the deciding factor for my decision to buy from them. After placing my order, I received my vacuum in a only a few days! I am very impressed with Achoo Allergy!
Now, the vacuum:
The majority of my home is tile. "Dust mopping" even with micro-fiber mops, was not effective. It simply moved the dust around, while picking up only some of it. The attachments that came with the Callisto are perfect for the tile and area rugs in my home. It does a fabulous job of REMOVING the dust or dirt, rather than just spreading it around! It's comforting to know that when I am done, the dust is GONE! I was dust mopping my floors every day, but now that I am actually removing the dust, I can now go 2-3 days before having to clean my floors again! That's fantastic! Plus, I'm not sneezing anymore!
I had an upright before that was ineffective on my tile - even though it was supposed to be great on bare floors... Now I've discovered how much easier it is to use a canister and the Miele Callisto is perfect.
I love knowing I will never have to buy another vacuum cleaner again!

Almost Perfect
Reviewed by: Pet Owner/Allery Sufferer from Lincoln, Nebraska
This vacuum is almost perfect. The suction is amazing. I love the parquet floor tool. It has a saw-tooth design in the brushes that allows dirt to pass through so it can be sucked up instead of pushed around the floor. Why aren't all floor tools made this way? The power head works beautifully on my carpet. I love the fact that I can vacuum under coffee tables and end tables without moving them. My floors seem to be staying cleaner longer since this vacuum does such a thorough job.
I like the variable suction. I can vacuum throw rugs, bath mats, curtains, and other items that would typically get sucked into the vacuum with ease. The cord rewind is great and the onboard tools are convenient.
The wheel design is terrific. The vacuum moves around so effortlessly behind me. This is a totally different animal than those canister vacuums that are hard to negotiate through the house. This little vacuum moves across thresholds with ease.
The very best feature of this vacuum for me, though, is that there is absolutely no dust blowing out of the vacuum. I no longer need to take an allergy pill before I vacuum. I am absolutely amazed at how clean the air stays while I'm vacuuming. In fact, I almost feel like the house smells fresher when I'm done vacuuming. For this reason alone, I'll never by anything but Miele again.
I have four cats and a dog. The Callisto does a great job cleaning up after them. Kitty litter gets sucked right up. Fur bunnies vanish with ease. The upholstery tool removes hair from the furniture quite handily. This is the most effective vacuum I've ever used for pet hair.
My only complaint about the vacuum is the ergonomic handle. It's fine for vacuuming floors though my hand gets a bit tired. I find it difficult for vacuuming above floor level though. The handle is cumbersome. It makes me nervous to vacuum shelves and decorative items because of the amount of hand strength required to control the small attachments with that large handle. If you use dust cloths or swiffers to clean your shelves and decorative items, this won't be an issue for you. It's a slight disappointment for me because I like to vacuum these items. It feels more thorough to me. I see there are micro attachment kits for cleaning cars and small household items that can be purchased separately. I may try those to see if they help the issue. I'm guessing that I'll build a little hand strength over time, though, and this handle probably won't be an issue for me.
In spite of not liking the handle, I give this vacuum 5 stars. I absolutely love it. If you suffer from dust allergies, please consider this investment in your health. You'll be absolutely amazed at how much more pleasant vacuuming can be with a vacuum that works wells and contains the dust.

Real engineering
Reviewed by: Householder from Rockingham, Vermont
It's a nearly impossible blend of quiet and power, that can be turned down enough to be safe for fine area rugs, or up far enough to thoroughly clean deep wall-to-wall. The parquet brush is excellent on more delicate floors. I can run it in my child's room while he's sleeping. This shows a thorough excellence in engineering that other, flashier brands marketed with claims about their brilliant inventors, turn out once bought to lack. Unlike most of the competition, it's worth every dollar.

Miele Callisto
S5281 Vacuum Cleaners
The Callisto is the most popular of all of Mieles canister vacuums. It offers the conveniences and the basic advancements of the S5 Galaxy series with a few notable improvements. The Callisto represents an excellent blend of outstanding value and price.
What I like about the Callisto
What separates the Callisto from the entry level Pisces is quite simply, upgrades. With the Callisto,
an electric powered SEB 228 Electro Plus Powerbrush comes standard. This is a significant improvement over the air driven brush. In addition to this, the hose that comes standard with the Callisto is powered. This gives you a wider range of more versatile attachments you can use with this model.
When I ran this model through tests similar to those used on the
Pisces, I found for thicker carpet the SEB228 Powerbrush was better at extracting pet hair from thicker carpet. In previous tests, I could notice the strain as the air driven brushed bogged down on more dense carpet. In contrast, the electrically powered brush cleaned our high pile carpet much easier.
The last noticeable upgrade with the Callisto is the handle. In lieu of the standard handle, the Callisto is equipped with a deluxe handle. The design fits better in your hand and puts less strain on your wrist while you vacuum. Again, with Miele, sometimes it is all about the little things. A more comfortably designed handle may not seem like the most important feature, but when you have to vacuum the first and second floors of a fully carpeted house, little conveniences make a big difference.
The Callisto comes standard with Mieles Active HEPA filtration, a definite plus for allergy and asthma sufferers. This vacuum collects dirt, dust and pet hair from the floors without polluting the air in your home. The Generally Activated Charcoal reduces odors and traps some chemicals.
In addition, the Callisto comes standard with all the features you normally find on a Miele canister, quiet operation, 7 year warranty on the motor, self-winding cord, easy movement, and self-sealing bags.
What I do not like about the Callisto
The Callisto is a powered unit, which means it has electric features from the powerbrush to the vacuum itself. To connect the hose to the vacuum is a minor inconvenience. There is a small, gray, plastic tab on the body of the vacuum that must be removed before you can attach the hose. The end of a nail file or very fine-tipped, flat head screwdriver will work. Without removing the cap, you may be left scratching your head as to how the hose could actually attach to the vacuum.
Despite a standard HEPA filter, the Callisto does not come with a filter change indicator. A bag change indicator comes standard with all Miele canister vacuums, but a good rule of thumb for the HEPA filter is to replace it once a year.
For those concerned with not only cleaning their floors but also the quality of the air inside their homes, the Callisto offers the best on both counts. For both hard and carpeted surfaces the Callisto will get the job done, and the electric powerbrush and deluxe handle are just two additional features that help make this unit one of Miele's most popular choices.
