- The Miele Powerhouse S184 upright vacuum is said to do a good job cleaning carpeting and hard floors. It has a long hose, full-bag alert and a HEPA filter, and one source says it's easier to store than most upright vacuums.
- Although this vacuum has a long hose, reviews say it's also unstable when the hose is extended, causing the canister to tip over. Reviewers note the lack of certain features, such as suction control or an upholstery tool. Other vacuums get better reviews overall.

Review: Vacuums: Top Picks for Pet Hair, Editors of Consumer Reports, Mar. 2007
Although AllergyBuyersClub.com is a retail site, the editors don't only have praise for the vacuums they sell. The Miele Powerhouse is recommended as a good value for the price, but its drawbacks include an awkward hose and a finicky foot pedal. The Miele is also said to be easier to store than most upright vacuums.
