For such a compact little canister vacuum, the Miele S4212 sure does leave your carpets looking totally refurbished. Vacuuming should be this way quick, quiet and efficient. This is another quality offering from Miele because it makes good use of it's high-tech features like the clever silence setting function on this vacuum which pleasantly adjusts itself by providing you with the best power for the job while at the same time cutting the motor's noise output, leaving you with a better vacuuming experience.

The Miele S4212 vacuums size is only 43cm x 24cm x 23cm and sports an aluminium cylinder body which is extremely durable, made from A.B.S reinforced plastic that will last for decades. There is no shortage of suction ability even though it is powered by an environmentally friendly 1300 watt motor which is specially designed to have the same dust pick up power of a vacuum using 2000 watts, which generally are more expensive than this model.

Dust safety is important to Miele and the S4212 is entirely safe for allergy and asthma sufferers to use. FJM HyClean dust bags are used with an automatic clean hygienic shutter which is important to protect against any form of unhealthy dust leakage or leak back of unhealthy particles. The 3.5L dust bag is self-sealing, and there's an indicator light to tell you when it needs to be emptied.

The installed SuperAir clean filter is one of the most efficient ways to capture over 99.97% of the unhealthy and invisible allergens and pollutants that can linger in our home atmosphere. All Miele canisters are sealed tightly to avoid any escape of unpleasant smoke too and they go through strict testing where engineers use a blue coloured smoke dye which is pumped in to the canister to quickly locate how much leakage occurs - if any at all.

Manoeuvrability is at a premium here as the Miele S4212 is so easy to pull behind you as you vacuum with it's extremely smooth gliding 360 degree swivel type castor wheels which ensures easy steering. There is a bumper strip fitted which preserves your furniture and walls from scraping or bumping. This compact canister weighs just under 6.7kg making it one Miele's lightest vacuum cleaners and for your ease of use is the fully automatic retractable cable rewind function which saves a little bit of effort.

There are 6 various power suction settings provided on a rotary dial for adaptability as this vacuum can easily cope with any type of carpeting, high or low pile even hardwood and tiled areas are not a problem for the Miele S4212 Ecoline. Vacuuming jobs get done quicker as the main floor head cleaning width is 26cm, which is wide in comparison with others. You also have a large cleaning radius of 9 metres which is 9.9 yards.

The Miele S4212 Ecoline won a Which? Best Buy award a while ago and is very popular in magazines and on consumer review websites, which is not surprising because if you add up all the features and functions of this vacuum you come to the conclusion that a lot of vacuums are more expensive than this one but do not have the quality features of the Miele S4212. This is a very reasonably priced vacuum cleaner considering you get the performance of the higher rated Miele Vacuums. You always get a very good warranty with Miele and this one should be near the top of your list.
