- As you'd expect for its premium price, the Miele Capricorn S5980 canister vacuum is praised for its high-tech design and features, such as high-efficiency fiber bags, fingertip controls and extra-quiet operation.
- Because we didn't find the Miele S5980 canister vacuum included in any comparative testing, it's unclear whether this canister vac is worth the big price premium over the competition.
People who've seen the Miele Capricorn S5980 canister vac praise its high-tech design along with its high-efficiency fiber bags, fingertip controls, easy swiveling, long power cord and low noise. However, few reviewers appear to have evaluated this Miele vacuum in controlled testing, and we did not find a review that compares the Miele S5980 head-to-head to its less-expensive competition.
We found the best review of the Miele Capricorn S5980 bagging canister vacuum at AllergyBuyersClub.com, which (though it sells vacuums) does a good job of listing the pros and cons of various models. The Capricorn is also discussed by a single, but very persuasive, owner posting to Amazon.com. Unfortunately, we didn't find any reviewers that compare the Miele Capricorn to other canister vacuums, so it's impossible to say how well the Miele actually cleans carpets and bare floors relative to the much less expensive competition.

The Miele S5980 Red Velvet is the most highly recommended canister vacuum on this retail website that caters to allergy sufferers. However, editors don't compare this model's performance to the competition, and since AllergyBuyersClub.com has a vested interest in promoting this vacuum, the motivation behind the write-up can't be considered objective.

We normally wouldn't give much weight to a single review posted on Amazon.com, but this owner goes into so much detail that it merits inclusion. He says the Miele Capricorn canister vacuum is very quiet, cleans effectively and has great technology. His sole complaint is that it's easy to push the buttons inadvertently.
