I love this vacuum. It works well on carpets, carpet tiles and hard floors. I only use the tool with the spinning head which works great on dog hair from a long coated collie and my long hair. I find it very easy to use. I have no use for the second head. All the usual small tools are included making it easy to reach into difficult places, catch cobwebs and clean soft furnishings. The bag is a good size and lasts ages. They are thick as well so there is no dust leakage. If I was pushed I guess I’d say that given environmental issues it would be better with a washable bag

Effective on both carpets and hard floors. Any household with pets or family members will benefit from this vacuum cleaner.

This vacuum cleaner helps us to save a large amount of time. The filters are working excellently. It thoroughly cleans all surface areas with minimal effort. It's simple to use and adjust depending on the surface.

My mother is also now getting used to it and has forgotten about the old cleaning methods.

I have owned a Miele S5261 Cat and Dog for some years. Apart from dust bags, I have never had to have a repair or anything. Eventually, my old vac died of old age and extremely hard work as I suffer OCD. So I made it my mission to save vigorously to purchase an updated replacement. I am absolutely delighted and pleased I did. The option of the powerhead and the multi carry onboard tool kit is a great plus for this compact hoover. :) The easy turn power dial means that I can use on vinyl flooring and carpets at whichever power is suitable to the task, and the easy adjustable telescopic poles are great.

As everyone else has said, it worked fabulously until the black filter box needed replacing. The filter will not stay in, it keeps popping out as you hoover which means the hoover loses suction and is a complete waste of time!

Time for a new hoover and sadly it won't be another Miele

This vacuum cleaner worked perfectly for about 15 months then we started getting problems with the casing popping up, we changed all the filers and believe me they are not cheap, still the problem occurs after hoovering for about 3 minutes. Honestly don't waste your hard earned cash on this product, poor engineering.

if you like hoovering every day then this hoover will indeed lift cat and dog hairs if you are not in a hurry. if however, you work, and can only clean at the weekends, this will be a complete waste of £350. warning bells should have gone off when i saw the size of the dust bag of this miele cat and dog vacuum. its not much bigger than a round teabag. that is NOT a serious dog hair lifting machine! there is very obviously NO understanding of dog hair by miele.

so dont fall for the advertising and unbelievable reviews that its great as i did. the suction goes. the lid for changing the tiny inappropriate bags gets stuck. you have to go over the carpet just as much as any ordinary hoover. its not top dollar in any way.

i only came across this site now or would have warned straight away after purchase from john lewis' glasgow a year ago

Very frustrating- I have the same problem of the filter popping out like everyone else. Have used the proper expensive bags etc. would not recommend

Having spent £169 hard won pounds on this machine, I am sad to say it is no longer useable. Despite changing the air filter for £16 and taking out a second mortgage on the replacement bags, the machine still pops out the filter thereby losing all power and suction. You either lumber around the room and try and stand on the lid with one foot or get weak suction too feeble to suck up a feather. A monumental feat of poor engineering. A shame as this had good reviews when I bought it in 2013, obviously before people experienced the first problems...
