 The BEST there is . . .
Reviewed by: House of kids and fur from Fredericksburg, TX
I investigated just about every vacuum out there and kept coming back to the Capricorn. I checked, rechecked and checked again. Still came back to the Capricorn. My hesitation, of course, was the price. It's a lot of money. I finally bit the bullet, as they say, and went for it. I am so happy I did. This machine is worth every penny. Although I have only had it a couple of weeks, I've used it many times, for many purposes. It works like a dream. It takes up everything and nothing and I mean NOTHING goes back into the air and into your house. My old vac, an Oreck upright would send all the dog and cat odors right back into the air and the room smelled horrible after vacuuming. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, you would never know it.
I also love the changeover to a canister after using an upright for 10 years+. The Capricorn gives you access to under just about anything and moves about the house with you with ease.
This is a great VAC - don't hesitate like I did - do it!

Reviewed by: VCD Sufferer from San Luis Obispo
This is the most comfortable vacuums I have ever used. Easy to maneuver, lightweight, quiet, great suction and great looks too. I know it picks up more from my hard surfaces because the floor attachment is so soft gentle you actually really ''use'' it.

I love it!

I got the smaller power head without the light, wish I had "splurged" and gotten the larger power head with the light.

Miele Capricorn S5981 Vacuum Cleaners
The Miele Capricorn is quite possibly the best vacuum cleaner on the
market today. Versatile enough to handle all of your cleaning needs,
yet simple to operate, the Capricorn showcases all of the best
qualities and features of the Miele brand. Durable and efficient,
the Capricorn simultaneously cleans your floors while cleaning the
air in your home. After testing the Capricorn on high and low pile
carpet as well as finished concrete and hardwood flooring, I was
more than pleased with the results.
What I like about the Capricorn
I break down this section into two halves. First is the performance
of the Capricorn. On carpet I used the Capricorn with the SEB236 Powerbrush. This is by far Mieles most powerful carpet cleaning
brush. Being an electrically powered brush, the 236 packs more punch
and pulls up dog hair and dirt better than any other attachment I
have tested. When cleaning the finished concrete and hardwood, I
switched to the Parquet Floor Brush (SBB-300-3). For these surfaces
this simple suction tool actually worked better than the powerbrush.
Though vacuums will often come with a turbine-like head, on smooth
surfaces something with wide reaching, simple suction is better at
picking up debris without leaving anything behind. Both tools
offered excellent movement and fluid control, with the Parquet brush
being best in tight spaces. The bumper strip came in handy while
testing this model. Not paying attention, I bounced the Capricorn
off two desks, a trash can and a door, all without leaving a mark on
them or the vacuum.
The second part of this is the accessories that come standard with
the Capricorn. The Deluxe Handle of this unit offers convenient
functionality. A Standby button will power the unit down if you are
interrupted for a short period of time while cleaning. This function
is essentially a pause button for your vacuum. The second button
on the handle turns the powerbrush on and off, while the last button
controls the suction power of the motor. This simple + or -
button eliminates bending over to turn a rotary dial. Also on the
handle is an indicator letting you know what power level you are
currently using. In addition to a Deluxe Handle, the Capricorn comes
equipped with either the SEB217-3 or the SEB236. Both are
excellent carpet cleaning brushes, but for thicker carpet I have to
give the edge to the larger SEB236. Active HEPA filtration is
standard with this unit, though if you wanted, you could downgrade
to the Super Air Clean filter. This model also comes standard with
an Overheating Indicator Light as well as HEPA Filter Replacement
Light.
In addition to these features, the Capricorn comes standard with
everything that makes Miele unique. A durable ABS plastic shell,
self-winding cord, self-sealing bags, rubber bumper to protect your
furniture, three mini-attachments located under the hood, ultra
quiet operation, smooth movement, 7 year motor warranty, retractable
wand, and long life span all make the Miele vacuum well worth the
expense.
What I do not like about the Capricorn
For some the Standby feature may be useful, but Miele warns not to
keep the unit in Standby for too long because it may cause it to
automatically shut off from overheating. I would be more likely to
simply turn the unit off if interrupted while cleaning instead of
using a Standby feature.
Be it that the Capricorn is the top of the line, the best of the
best, the initial cost reflects this. To make this more palatable,
try to consider a Miele vacuum cleaner an investment. When you
spread the initial cost over an expected 20 year lifespan and factor
the superior cleaning ability as well as convenience of these
machines, the initial cost is less than the cost of buying cheaper
brands that you will likely have to replace after only a couple
years of use.
With the Capricorn, Miele pulled out all the stops and included a
myriad of modern conveniences to complement superior performance.
For allergy and asthma sufferers this unit will not only keep your
floors free of dirt, dust, pet hair and other allergens but also
clean the air in your home. From the smallest to the most intense
cleaning jobs, the Miele Capricorn rises above the rest in form,
function and convenience.
