      Good Fit in my Apartment
    Reviewed by: Pet Owner in the Port from Port Saint Lucie, FL

    Works great in my apartment. It takes care of Jenny's hair and dirt. I don't use the brush attachment much since I mainly have hardwoods and rugs, but the other attachment works well.
      Great Vacuum
    Reviewed by: Pet Owner and Noise Hater from Wisconsin

    I bought it for my pet hair needs along with having wood floors and area rugs. This vacuum workd very good for me. I love the quiet operation (so do the pets!)
      no more dog hair!
    Reviewed by: waiting for the day we dont have a dog from sneads ferry nc

    great pickup on natural wood floor using attachment that comes with the unit, great hair and sand pickup, also able to go up the bottom of wall trim to get hair. use the same attachment for tile floor with ease. turbo brush great for area rugs that are on the wood floor. the lower the setting the easier and more smoothly the brush moves. with more suction , it becomes a little difficult to push forward, you have to pull it backward so that the brush does not bend up. it is heavier than i thought to lift up by the handle, but still lighter than most. love the retractable cord and bumpers to protect the wall. love the ease at getting to the bag, heppa filter and the smaller attachments. would be nice to have a sturdier hose attachment to the unit so that it can be pulled more without it lifting. also to have a sturdier floor attachment so that it does not pull up.

    Miele Pisces S5281 Vacuum Cleaner

    The Pisces is the most economical of the S5 Galaxy Canisters. With all the standard features of a Miele canister vacuum, the Pisces offers the lowest levels of upgrades at the most reasonable price. As with all of the Mieles in our showroom, we tested them on high and low pile carpet as well as hardwood and finished concrete flooring. Using our carpet test squares as mats, we best tried to replicate the types of messes our customers would need to clean by wiping our shoes on them and using them as doggie beds. Like most Miele canisters, we were pleased with the results.

    What I like about the Pisces:

    The Pisces performed admirably on all surfaces tested. Using the Parquet Floor Brush it swept up dog hair, dirt and dust with ease. Unlike a broom, it left no residue on hard flooring. After switching to the Turbo brush attachment we tested it on three different styles of carpet. On the low and medium pile carpeting, the Pisces cleaned all of the dirt and hair with ease. On the shag carpet, the pet hair took a couple passes before it was fully lifted, but ultimately, the Pisces succeeded there as well.

    HEPA filtration comes standard with this unit. I cannot say enough about Miele’s Active HEPA filter, and the General Activated Charcoal (GAC) in these filters helps immensely. I have owned a Eureka with a HEPA filter in the past, but it did nothing to reduce odors. While the GAC in these filters may not seem like much, once you use them, you notice a big difference, particularly when cleaning up after pets.

    As your most basic Galaxy unit, the price point is a little better than the others in this series. This model still comes equipped with a load of features that make the Miele canisters a cut above the rest, such as durable construction, light weight, six different speed settings, three accessory brushes “under the hood,” and a 7 year warranty on the motor, as well as Galaxy series exclusive features: an overheating safety shut-off, high capacity bags and better particle filtration (HEPA) than comparable models.

    This may seem minor to some people, but the self-winding cord and self-sealing bags are small conveniences that make a big difference. The simple yet efficient technology behind the bags takes the mess out of changing them once full, and the self-winding cord has been rigorously tested by Miele to withstand thousands of uses.

    What I do not like about the Pisces:

    Personally, I am a dog owner, and despite the love I have for my pet, I cannot stand the hair. The Pisces handled the dog hair on low and medium pile carpet just fine, but if you have thicker carpet, as I do in my house, a better bet would the Capricorn, Aquarius or Callisto. The other option would be to purchase an electric hose and an electric driven power head, such as the SEB-236. The electric powered heads lift ground in hair from thick carpet better than the air-driven Turbo brushes.

    Even though the HEPA filter does come standard with the Pisces, there is no indicator light letting you know when to replace it. For the best results and least strain on the motor, replace the HEPA filter in the Pisces once a year.

    In all, the Pisces offers the basic upgrades of the Galaxy series without much additional expense. You will not find some of the more sophisticated features as you would in the Capricorn, but this does not detract from the fact that the Pisces is a top of the line Miele. I would recommend this model for those with allergies or asthma, with or without pets, and those who have hard flooring or low to medium pile carpet.
