Miele Polaris S4212 Vacuum Cleaners |
Lightweight and cost-efficient, the Miele
Polaris vacuum cleaner has a powerful motor and is made for use on either carpets
or smooth floors. While the electrostatically charged Super Air Clean Filter captures far more allergens than the average vacuum cleaner, the optional
HEPA filter transforms the Miele Polaris into a HEPA air purifier on wheels. Miele vacuum cleaners not only clean your floors, but they also clean the
air you breathe. See the entire family of

    good value for the dollar
Reviewed by: from Santa Ana, California

This is a small vacuum with a lot of suction that works well on solid surfaces. The good side is its light weight and powerful. It also follows along so easily when vacuuming that it sometimes bumps into something. The down side is that the bags are smaller and will need to be changed more frequently and there is no room for the tools inside the vacuum. Instead the tools are attached to the hose and when bumped they fall off.. The cord is also shorter than my last miele. All in all, though, it cleans well for the price and fits better in my closet. Happy to have a miele again.

    Recommendation from a
Reviewed by: Chuck from Morrisville, NC

I've been using the Miele Polaris for two weeks now and am impressed so far. The suction power is phenomenal and it is very quiet - especially on the lowest setting which I use to "dust" my hardwoods. I would say that setting is quieter than a bathroom exhaust fan. The highest setting works great for my low pile carpets and is far quieter than an upright no louder than the medium setting on a hair dryer. You can have a conversation with someone or still hear the TV when this unit is on any power level. I don't really see the need to buy the optional turbo brush since the suction is so powerful, it raises the carpet nap nicely. The attachments could be in a better storage place on the unit. The holder sometimes gets knocked off by the hose. The only other negative is the cord length. It is not terrible but it does cause me to have to move outlets a couple of times. I love the cord storage though. It automatically wraps up into the vacuum unit. The vacuum is also very light and easy to hold while doing steps. For anyone with a lot of hardwoods, tiles, linoleum and low pile carpet, I would highly recommend this vacuum. The ease at which you can switch the vacuum head from hardwood to carpet is very easy and there is a little door on the handle that you can open and close with your thumb to further adjust airflow making it great for curtains and bedding.
Finally a vacuum that I can do everything with. I used to have a small vacuum for stairs,a large upright for the carpet and had to use a SwifferR, broom and dustpan for the hard surfaces. Now I *finally* have an all-in-one unit that does an excellent job on everything with the confidence that it is trapping far more allergens than my old methods!

    Exceptional vacuum
Reviewed by: from Seattle, WA

I come from Europe and have only used canister vacuums because they are so much lighter and they reach under furniture. When my old canister got too worn, so I decided to buy this Miele. When it arrived I was surprised at how lightweight it was, even for a canister it's very light and small, I easily lift it with one hand and carry it up and down the stairs. The suction is very impressive, I never set it on max because it's too powerful. The floor tool that it comes with is ideal for hard floors and rugs, I found it is very gentle on hardwood and delicate surfaces. It cleans corners and edges very effectively in one passing. The telescopic wand has an adjustable length mechanism for taller/shorter people. It comes with 3 standard attachments which sit at the bottom of the hose and become easily accessible while vacuuming, it also comes with 2 bags. For wall to wall carpets I recommend buying the turbo brush, if you want effortless removal of hairs. I've never seen my carpet so clean, not one hair left on it in one passing. Also the brush is light and reaches easily under furniture as it's not bulky. The only negative is the length of the power cable, it could have been a bit longer.
I'd recommend this vacuum to anyone who likes to have a clean house with minimum effort.

Miele Polaris S4212 Vacuum Cleaners
The S4212 Polaris is a part of Mieles S4 Galaxy series. The galaxy
series of vacuums has been awarded a rating of excellent air
quality by an independent institute that monitors air quality. This
light blue vacuum from Miele is a straight suction vacuum cleaner
that can be used on either low pile carpets or smooth floors. A
rotary dial with small pictures on the canister provides easy
suction control ranging from 200 to 1200 Watts. There is an electrostatic filter that will capture more allergens
than your average vacuum cleaner. This Super Air Clean filter is
made up a multi-ply material that is charged to retain dust
particles. The filter lasts as long as 5 dust bags (approximately one year).
What I like about the Polaris
One of the best attributes of the Miele canister vacuums is that
changing the bag is simple and clean. You do not have to remove the
bag in a way to avoid making another mess. The new HyClean bags are an improved design above the already excellent Intensive Clean
model of other Miele canister vacuums. These bags feature 9 ply construction with a spring-loaded, self-sealing collar to keep
allergens and dirt trapped while changing the bags. The built in air flow guides within the bag maximize airflow and increase bag
capacity up to 25%. An inner and outer netting also increases this bags tear-proof properties. Each series of bags also has color
coded collars to help avoid confusion. For the FJM style bags usded in the Polaris, look for a red collar. All these features work
to make the Miele Polaris one of the cleanest vacuum cleaners on the market today.
The Polaris comes with a universal floor tool for smooth flooring and
low pile carpet. You can change surfaces very easily with a click of
a switch. On the bottom of the floor tool, there are wide
thread lifters that help collect dirt and dust.
The Polaris has a long cord that gives you a 33 foot cleaning radius from the
outlet. If you need to change floors or rooms, the Polaris is
portable and light. The floor tool fits onto the wand holder and you can pick
the vacuum cleaner up with one hand. Your other hand is left free to
hold onto railings, open doors, etc. The hose, wand, and floor tool
are securely in place so you do not scratch walls.
What I do not like about the Miele Polaris
There are two limitations of the Polaris. The first drawback is that
it does not come with standard HEPA filtration. The HEPA filtration is
optional and has to be added to the purchase. Like most Miele
vacuums, you are able to add upgrades depending on your needs.
Secondly, the Polaris has the most basic handle or wand in the Miele
line. The wand is a stainless steel and does extend, but the handle lacks
the comfort and convenience of the deluxe models.
In summary, the S4212 Polaris is an inexpensive, entry-level Miele
canister vacuum. The Polaris operates very quietly, and it has an
expected lifespan of twenty years. It has many of the benefits of
the larger models with several options to upgrade at a later time.
Though the Polaris does not come standard with a HEPA filter it is a great vacuum
for first time Miele buyers.
