  Clean home, clean air!
Reviewed by: Melissa from Hopkinton, Massachusetts

Thanks to the kind staff at Achoo Allergy, I picked the perfect Miele canister vacuum for my home. I have mainly hardwood floors and only a handful of area rugs and this fits my cleaning needs exactly. The salesperson could have easily talked me into the higher priced Callisto but reasonably suggested I purchase the Pisces instead. I'm not sure I can say much more about the vacuum that hasn't already been said. It's quiet, powerful, well-engineered and the exhaust air is completely odorless. I'm a tall woman 6'1" and so the fact that the wand adjusts to my height is wonderful, no hunching over! I also love the lower-suction drapery setting for my roman shades. Works great!
  Great Vaccume
Reviewed by: Kathleen H. from Houston, Texas

Performs as advertised. Easy to use, easy to maneuver, easy to get around corners and tight places. Dial selection for floors, rugs, etc. is also excellent. Love it.
  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.
 
Miele Pisces Vacuum Cleaner Reviews
Miele Pisces S5481 Vacuum Cleaners


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 Mieles 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.
