I love this vaccum. I live in a 3 floor townhouse with mostly hardwood floors and tile. I was trying to keep on top of my cat’s shedding with a swiffer but it just wasn’t enough. I bought this vacuum in may. I use the parquet floor tool constantly. The vacuum sucks up all the pet hair,dust, cat litter, cast food, dirt etc. You can extend the metal bar. That has been very helpful when vacumming my stairs and also allowing as big a distance as possible when sucking up bugs. The vacuum is light and is more quiet than the average vacuum. (my cat is deathly afraid of vaccuums. and he is just slightly afraid of this one) The bags are a great size. I have been using the first one since I got it in may and it is only 1/2 way full. I would recommend Miele to everyone. The people at the vacuum store told me that out of every 20 vacuums that come in for repair 7 are Dyson and they very very rarely get miele’s in for repair. (they sell both miele and dyson) Another bonus of owning a miele is that you can order parts even for vacuums 10+ years old. For other brands you would have to just buy a new vacuum. They are quality machines. You can check out [...]. There is a guy who makes video’s and will show you just how good the air filters on the miele’s are.

I was researching buying a vacuum, and wanted my money to be spent well. I wanted a product that was well built, will last long, and was good for allergies. I saw this on amazon, but ended up buying from a certified miele dealer, that made me a really good deal. Otherwise I would have gotten it from amazon, considering the free shipping and no tax option. this vacuum is wonderful. The suction is amazing, and the turbobrush for my wool rugs cant be beat. The hardwood attatchment is great, consideirng most of my home is hardwood and tile. It is so quiet, and my home is so small, so someone can be taking a nap, and the other can still clean!! I absolutely love this vacuum. You won’t be sorry you paid a lot for this. If I had a bigger home, and wall to wall carpet, I would have had to get a more expensive model, or at least an upright along with this model. This company has a very good product. you wont be sorry!!

My partner and I realized we needed a new vacuum cleaner shortly after we got a puppy. The pup sheds and brings a lot of dirt into our apartment. We got the Neptune from a local dealer–we chose the model because we have all hardwood and linoleum floors and I wanted something light. The Neptune comes with a non-HEPA filter, but it’s easy to buy a HEPA filter and pop it in. What I love about this machine: 1) the heads maneuver easily under furniture — especially the parquet twister. 2) Great suction, surprising for such a compact machine, but much quieter than our old upright. 3) The variable power settings are useful for vacuuming different surfaces without damage. I can even vacuum my 5 month old puppy’s fuzzy coat on the lowest setting with the upholstery head without freaking him out. 4) The bag is designed for easy replacement without scattering dust.
Limitations of the Neptune to consider if you’re choosing between Miele models: The Neptune’s bag is on the small side–the price of having a compact machine. We’ve only had it a week and a half and the bag indicator reads half full, so we expect to spend almost $100/year on bags. Blame it on the dog. Also, if we had a lot of carpeting or allowed the dog on our furniture, we would have bitten the bullet for one of the more expensive models (like the S5 series) that come with electrical powered brush heads including the mini version for upholstery. The Neptune can’t take these, and only has an air-powered turbo brush head.

I purchased this vacuum for my wife whose older vacuum was starting to fall apart. My first source was consumer reports, and after researching their top rated canisters I was dismayed to see some of the negative comments by other reviewers. While these top rated models performed well, my other concern was quality and durability – something which consumer reports doesn’t really focus on. If I am going to spend good money on a vacuum, I’d rather avoid anything made in China. The problem with the hoovers and Kenmoores are they use Chinese motors and components. There were too many reviews about the potential problems with cheap motors, and the fact that too many people complained about the cheap flimsy feel and the heavy weight.
I decided to go with the Miele Neptune with Turbo tool based on the reviews here and I was not disappointed! While the body is made of plastic, it is of high quality. The knobs, button and trim are like that of an Audi automobile. The main tube is made of metal, while the flexible portion is plastic. I can’t really tell what the longevity of the plastic of these parts will be – but I am assuming they will be better than than the numerous complaints of flimsy and easy to break parts of the Kenmores and Hoovers.
Turning on the vacuum is like starting a jet engine. A nice gentle whine, and when fully revved it’s remarkably quiet. Again, big advantage verses the mainstream models. A powerful 1200 watt motor and light weight makes this easy to use and effective at all the applications I’ve used it for – mainly hardwood and carpet. The turbo tool uses air to drive the brush and it has done a great job (just need to cut the hair that it collects from time time to time) especially on carpet, and works/sounds just like an electric powered model.
All in all – a top quality product, excellent performance makes this a vacuum of choice. Plus it’s made in Germany by a company that’s been around for over 100 years. I personally rather avoid purchasing Chinese made products with lots of moving parts intended for long term use.

I could not decide between the Polaris and the Neptune…the main difference is that the Neptune comes with a turbo brush and the parquet twister. I just received it today & have been anticipating it’s arrival since I ordered it on Saturday…I am crazy in love. I have never owned a vacuum that has setting controls…I cleaned the velvet drapes in room on the lowest setting, works like a charm. I vacuumed all the window sills, door & window moldings, 1731 sq ft of wood floor, bathroom tile & vacuumed the stucco walls in the kitchen. Oh by the way the maids were just here yesterday…I did not care. The house looked perfect but now I know it’s perfect.
I vacuumed while my daughter was napping…I could have never done that w/the upright Kenmore I’m retiring. I’m so happy with this purchase. I will update this review in 6 months (writing reminder in my Franklin). Yes, yes love is in the air. XXOXOO

Six months is around the corner. I am still in love. Can I just tell you that my cleaning habits have changed…I once vacuumed once a week maybe twice, since I received my Miele I vacuum every other day (it’s crazy I know)I’m so addicted to the clean feeling plus I want to share this scent secret with you…when I change the vacuum bag I put 14-18 drops of my favorite essential oil on cotton ball vacuum it up & every time I vacuum that scent is distributed thru the whole house. My favorite scent right now is Lemongrass by Aura Cacia…so natural. I don’t know about you but we have 2 pooches and after a few vacuums you can get a musty rank smelling vacuum air…well the essential oil prevents that smell completely.
Back to the vacuum itself. It really does perform like all the 5 stars it’s rated to be. Good luck I hope you do invest in one of these beauties. Your gonna be in love.

Wow, I had a very hard time spending this much money for a Vacuum. It was worth every penny. I have vacuumed every surface it my house twice! Save money someplace else. When you look at how long you have a vacuum then this is money well spent. It moves easy, is super light, the tools give you an option for every surface. The normal floor tool rotates in a way that lets you get into tiny spots under furniture. It is so quiet. Love love love the retractable cord. I wish all appliances had that feature. Oh and it’s pretty. I am sold on Miele.
