    Miele Earth S5481 Vacuum Cleaners Product Reviews

      Earth for the earth
    Reviewed by: Earth lover from St. Louis

    I thought it appropriate to write my Earth vacuum review on Earth Day 2009. This is a wonderful, if expensive, machine. I had a previous Miele that was lost in a flood so in choosing a new one there was no doubt I'd go with Miele again. Love their products. But which one to choose? The eco-factor was the thing that tipped the scale in the favor of Earth. Have not been disappointed, despite the steep price.

    Reviewed by: Terry M. from Cleveland, OH

    Decided on this model over the Aquarius model. Not only do I like the color better, but also that it uses less energy. This is my 2nd Miele. My first from this company, and they know what they are doing. Apparently this is a newer model, and not all dealers have it, they knew the product inside and out. Shipping was lightning fast. Highly recommend. 5 stars!

    Miele Earth S5481 Vacuum Cleaners


    When it comes to electronic features and ease of use, the Earth comes out on top. This is the only Miele canister to offer the AutoEco setting for transitioning to different surfaces. In other models there is either a rotary dial or push button to adjust the speed when moving from different surfaces, but the Earth adjusts itself. In doing so it not only makes vacuuming seem less like a chore but also reduces energy by adjusting to optimal suction for any surface.  I tested this model with the standard SEB-217 powerbrush and deluxe handle. After using it on a thick rug (caked with dog hair), a thinner rug and a finished concrete floor, here is what I found.

    What I like about the Miele Earth

    The Earth, fitted with the SEB-217, was well suited for the task of pulling up ground in dog hair and dirt. After adjusting the different height setting on the brush, I was able to clean the medium pile rug easily. To give you a better idea about the surface, it is a 3x5 rug that my dog used as his bed. So given the amount of time he spent on it, there were short hairs all through the fabric. I have used a Dyson product to clean this same rug, but did not get near the same results as the Earth.

    The SEB-217 is a very capable powerbrush. It moves and turns very smoothly, and being electric powered, this brush is stout enough to tackle the tougher cleaning jobs. Though this brush is not quite as wide as the SEB-236, it can be parked and edges very well.

    This is the only canister model that comes equipped with the AutoEco setting. In addition to the six selectable suction settings, the AutoEco setting will adjust the suction and speed of the motor depending on the flooring and mess you are cleaning.

    The Earth is one of only a few Miele canisters that comes equipped with a HEPA filter change indicator. A small indicator light lets you know when you need to replace the Active HEPA filter.

    The finish of the Earth is one of the most aesthetically appealing of the entire Miele line of canisters. Like the Capricorn, the Earth has a soft touch finish, and in lieu of the lighter, Capri Blue finish of the Aquarius, the Earth is a deeper, richer Marine Blue. Of Miele's most recent addition to their canister vacuum cleaner offering, the Earth wins the beauty contest.

    With the Earth you will find the features of all of the less expensive models including, self-winding cord, large capacity (self-sealing) bag, Active HEPA filtration, deluxe ergonomic handle, adjustable wand, 7 year motor warranty, sturdy ABS plastic body, mini accessories under the hood, free and smooth movement, self-sealing bags, and a thermal shut off (and indicator light), to name a few.

    What I do not like about the Miele Earth

    With the Earth you are really starting to climb in price, but Miele is a top of the line brand which produces quality products. To balance the initial cost, if you get the estimated 20 years out of this Miele, you will have saved hundreds of dollars over buying a cheaper model every three years.

    For me, the AutoEco is not as useful as it may be for others. If you are using the SEB 217-3 and move from carpet to smooth flooring, an automatic suction adjustment is not as useful when you consider you will have to switch from the powerbrush to the Twister attachment.  Regardless, the energy saving nature of this feature is something all can use.

    Aside from the initial cost, all of which would be made up in the longevity of this product as well as value added features, there are few drawbacks to the Earth. The AutoEco feature is an excellent addition that some will really enjoy, while the heavier cleaning ability, more efficient power consumption and convenient controls are things that everyone can make good use of.
