pros
  • Powerful, 1,100-watt motor
  • Telescoping wand
  • HEPA filter
cons
  • Price

As befits its price (more than $1,000 at the time), owners and experts agree that the now-discontinued Miele S558 Red Velvet canister vacuum cleaner has top-notch specs, including an 1,100-watt motor with two fan settings, a HEPA filter and a telescopic wand, as well as other high-end European touches. One source calls the Miele S558 an indulgent purchase, and others wonder if its performance is really worth the very high price. This model has since been discontinued, however, and is very difficult to find in stores.

Most of the reviews for the Miele S558 Red Velvet are no longer available now that it's been discontinued. The S558 Red Velvet is discussed by a handful of owners posting to Epinions.com, and it is the subject of a brief review by ConsumerGuide.com. However, because the Miele isn't included in any comparative tests, we don't have any reliable information about its cleaning performance compared to others, and this vacuum is very expensive.

It's unclear if anyone at ConsumerGuide.com tried out the Miele S558 Red Velvet before writing this rave review. The writer calls the Miele "versatile enough for any type or thickness of floor covering," but does note that it has a small dust capacity.
