Miele CAT & DOG TT 5000

had a miele tt500 for about 10/15 years now.. it has never broken down.

i have flooded it and had to dry it for 5 days, i have set it on fire and put the fire out with a slosh of water... it is still working.

as i say.. unbreakable.

Fantastic Hoover when it worked! Second one I've had and both motors burnt out within 2 years, not what I'd expect from a Hoover said to last 20 years with average use! Last one for me.

The best vacuum I've had, would recommend this to anyone , had a motor fault after nearly 4 years, got in touch with Miele the vacuum was picked up the next day, fixed with a new bag , serviced and the part garanteed for 12 months, all for the ( I think very reasonable price of £84 pound, oh and for those folk who want to moan about the price of the bags, when you did your homework into. The vacuum, it would have been a good idea to look into the price of the bags also, let's face it if you can afford the thing in the first place, the bags are a small price to pay huh

I bought a Miele S5261 Ct and Dog vacuum in Sept 2008. It has been used for normal domestic use in a three bed semi.

Now, 6 months out of guarantee, the motor has burn out.

I think that a £200 premium quality cleaner should last much longer than that particularly as Miele claim that they design their products to have an average lifespan of 20 years.

I will be taking it back to Currys to complain.

The motor has burnt out on mine twice in 3.5 years - not waht I expected from Miele. Exit filter needs replacing often so guess there is too much dust gettign through the bags or from around the pipe fitting. Won't be sending it fro repair again - perhaps Bosch Home Pro?

I have for many years now owned a Miele vacuum cleaner in my own own. I have several rental properties and for those I opted for alternative brands. This decision was purely based on price, as obviously Miele is at the higher end of the pricing spectrum. Considering the breakdowns and problems incurred with the alternative brands, I started purchasing Miele vacumm cleaners for my rental properties also as Miele, regardless being quite pricy, still offers good value for money and combined with the much less hassle and breakdowns than the competing brands, I have no doubt in my mind as to which brand is superior...

the miele cat & dog is easy to use compact fairly light

Great vacuum cleaner, picks up all the dogs hairs, leaves the pile on the carpet standing up looking freshly vacuumed. Have had for 9 years without fault, still works as good as new. would recommend to anyone!

I have owned many brands of vacuum cleaner over the years( electrolux, Goblin, Sebo, Henry etc) the Miele Cat & Dog is infinitely superior! The suction is outstanding and the filtration system ( stopping dust being blown into room) is excellent. Further, a little research online provides replacement bags and accompanying dust filters at a very good price! Superb Build quality rounds off a star buy. Finally, the cable rewind mechanism is robust and works well.

The motor burnt out on my machine after 51 weeks and Miele collected the cleaner, provided a 'loan' machine and then fixed my machine and returned it looking like new within 2 weeks!!

I think this fault really was a 'one off' as Miele is, in my opinion, the Rolls Royce of domestic electrical equipment.

A very efficient and practical vacuum cleaner, most of other brands cannot even be compared with it. An excellent vacuum cleaner! Not only for cat and dog owners. Essential for everyone with a full carpeted home. If the price of dust bags was lower, this would be the best buy on the market ! The price is high, and especially the dust bags are too pricey. Not a rip-off, but not far from that !Also, the spare parts, like the hose, are very expensive.
