 Super satisfied
Reviewed by: Mom of a messy toddler from Boulder, Colorado
Unlike some of other reviews, I am totally satisfied with the suction. It works extremely well in my small apartment 900sq ft. with mostly hardwood floors and some short pile rugs. It sucked up bits of crackers and cheerios stuck in between sofa seat cushions with no problem. I like the hardfloor/rug flip switch on the sweeper - very convenient. Although I just keep it at the rug mode, since it makes the sweeper stick more closer to the floor, which makes the suction stronger. Some people have complained about the tools attachment, but they stay pretty securely attached on the bottom of the hose, and I am not bothered by them at all. I also like the fact that there are two separate hooks to keep your hose upright - one at the end of the machine for during cleaning, and one on the bottom of the machine, for storing. It feels like a very well made machine with a thoughtful design. One drawback I can think of would be the shorter cord. I can barely vacuum my living space with using just one outlet, but I live in a smaller apartment. Although, even if you have to move the machine and replug, the machine is really, really light, so that would help. Oh, and it is indeed extremely quiet. I didn't quite believe the hype until I heard it myself!

 Great vac, great price.
Reviewed by: C Colbert from Montana
This is my first Miele vacuum. I have allergies, and I'm a clean freak.
Before this, the only vac I used for years was a powerful small shop vac with a hepa filter. It worked really well actually, but the strong air flow would blow particulates around as it wasn't a closed system not to mention attachments were limited. The ol' shop vac would clean great but was loud and eventually stuff would settle and still seem dirty/dusty, etc. I knew I needed to get a closed system vac so started researching.
I almost got the Calisto $600 more!, as everyone raved about it and I couldn't find many reviews on the Olympus. After researching every Miele model over and over, I still went with the Olympus at $299. I went with this model, simply because my cleaning needs are simple. My home is small 900 sq ft, modern and sparse just simple leather furniture, wood floors, slate and concrete. No drapes. No upholsteries. No rugs. I do have two dogs and a husband with alot of curly hair. I really really wanted to order an air driven turbo brush with this unit but...I just didn't see the need for it and I'm glad I didn't. I simply do not need anything more than the accessories and hard floor/carpet brush it came with. It works just great with these attachments and cleans what I need cleaned perfectly. I didn't even bother to get the fancy handle on the hose as I find those cumbersome more times than not, plus I had to keep to my shop vac roots!
Pros are what Miele is famous for. Very quiet, wheels around nicely and doesn't tip over at all. It's light, you can carry it around to vacuum high places, stairs, etc. The telescoping wand is pretty light, yet still durable metal and can reach everywhere it seems you would need it to. You can attach the hose either on the end of the unit for flat storage or clip it into the back to store it upright, which is better for me. Another reason I chose this unit vs. jupiter was the larger bag design. I use this unit every day or every other day, have for almost a month with tons of room left in the bag still.
I can see the probable cons of the unit however. Plastics and unit housing are lower quality, that's obvious. Hinges are plastic although you don't really need to open the bag changing door much. Attachments are housed outside the unit instead of in. b Though, I haven't had any troube with the vario clip falling off yet. The bristles on the attachments are lower quality than the more $ units but are working fine for me. The hard floor / carpet brush is good, probably doesn't move as smooth as the more $ units but still rotates fine to get under beds and couches. I wish the cord was 33 ft instead of 29 ft. I can almost reach everywhere but you always seem to need 4 more feet of cord a small extension cord solves that though. Overall, just "economical" feeling but, the winning vote for me was of course, the 20 yr motor life, and it has the same motor as all the others or so they say!
Overall it's good, cleans as expected, remember I'm used to a powerful shop vac sucking everything in from miles away while blowing everything around miles away...It really does, as achoo allergy says, depend on your cleaning needs. I would surmise that if you had any kind of carpets, fabric furniture, drapes etc, go with a more $ model with electric hose or air driven brushes, etc. because that is what you would need.
Achoo shipped this unit FAST, wow! And of course, their customer service is fabulous and their honest reviews and descriptions are what always keep me coming back. Such a great and caring company!

Customer Q & A
Q1: Are the Miele Olympus and the Miele Capri able to be fitted with the PowerBrush? I have heard conflicting information as to whether the S2 Miele Olympus and Capri having eletrical tool capabilities such as the Delphi and Titan. I know they don't come with the electrical hose or powerbrush but I want to know if I can add them later.
A: You most certainly can. Both the Capri and Miele Olympus have the electrical port on the body. With the right hose and wand combo you can use electrically driven powerbrushes with these models.
Q2: I have looked at the Miele vacuumcleaners at Sears, but the names are different. How can I know which model I am getting if I see a "Continuum" at Sears and then an Olympus or Capri on your website. Why do they change the names? Can I compare by model number? I want to see what I am buying before I buy, but will probably purchase via the Internet.
A: One thing with Miele is that models never transition across borders. So what you will see sold in Canada won't be offered in a US store and vice versa. And both Canadian and US models are vastly different than German models. This can make it very confusing.
In your case, you should be able to compare model lines, so S2 vs. S2, S5 vs. S5, etc. The S# is also the start of each product model. So the high points you'll want to look for when comparing are,
1. Electrically driven or Air driven floor tool?
2. How many and what floor tools are included?
3. HEPA filter or Super Air Clean filter?
4. Color
5. Price
With the model you mentioned Continuum, it's comparable US model is the Capricorn. The only differences between the Capricorn and Continuum are price, color and instead of the standard Twister smooth floor tool, the Continuum comes with the XL model.
Hope that helps. If you have specific models you want a quick comparison to, just let us know.

Miele Olympus S2120 Vacuum Cleaners
If you are looking for an economical, entry-level canister vacuum that retains the performance and quality of Miele's other vacuum cleaners,
then the S2 series is a great place to start. The Miele Olympus is ideal for a person that has an apartment or small home with smooth
flooring or area rugs. While it does not have some of the features that the higher end Miele vacuums have, it is a quality product that
comes at a very attractive price point.
What I like about the Miele Olympus
The Olympus is well suited for the task of vacuuming up dirt from smooth floors and area rugs. One of the best things about this new
line of canister vacuums is that they come with the larger G/N dust bags. These dust bags hold more dirt and
dust and should, over the life of the vacuum cleaner, save
you some money. I also like the lotus white color and the finish
of the Miele Olympus is one of the most universally aesthetically appealing of the entire Miele line of canisters.
The Olympus only comes with the Super Clean Air Filter, so I
would recommend upgrading by buying the separate Active HEPA filter
if you are concerned about getting the best filtration Miele has to
offer. Without the Active HEPA you still have the benefit of a 9 ply Air Clean bag, a pre-motor filter, and a Super Air Clean filter.
All of these make a vacuum that, unlike other, does not pollute your indoor air while cleaning your floors.
With the Olympus you will find the features of all of the more expensive
canister models including, self-winding cord, large capacity (self-sealing) bag,
ergonomic handle, adjustable wand, 7 year motor warranty, sturdy ABS
plastic body, mini accessories on a VarioClip, free and smooth
movement, self-sealing bags, and a thermal shut off.
In all, the most attractive feature of this is the price. You get a canister vacuum cleaner with superior suction and world class filtration, all in a durable,
German crafted package. Miele has built a rock solid reputation when it comes to their products. So
don't let this new lower price point fool you. Miele backs the quality and durability of the Olympus the same as it does their $2000
washing machines.
What I do not like about the Miele Olympus
This is a small thing, but the only drawback of this vacuum is that the mini attachments fell off a couple of times
while I was using the vacuum. There are three attachments that clip to the vacuum by a device called a VarioClip. Depending on if you are
moving from room to room or going up and down steps, you might even remove these before vacuuming to prevent them from falling off while cleaning.
To be offered at such a low cost, the Olympus backs off the electronic features found in other Miele canister vacuums.
Nor is the Miele Olympus equipped with electricity or a
pigtail. Knowing what your cleaning needs are and purchasing the vacuum that matches those is key to any purchase, and this is true with
the Miele Olympus.
With the Miele Olympus you are at very bottom of the canister price range, but
Miele is a top of the line brand which produces quality products. While it may not have the extras of a Miele S5, the Olympus
retains the core of Miele's construction and innovative features all wrapped in a durable and inexpensive package that is built to last you
two decades.
