Designed to effectively clean a variety of carpeting types, this tool can also be used for light cleaning of smooth surfaces. A soft bristle design gently deep cleans carpeting and helps remove surface lift from carpeting. Miele S251 Plus vacuum is for households with medium to thick-pile, wall-to-wall carpeting. This canister vacuum contains an electric hose and Powerbrush, which is essential for separating carpet fibers, allowing the suction power of the vacuum to remove dirt.
            After trying this model on your dirty flooring samples, you will find that the Plus deliver a performance on carpet slightly better than that of the Pisces. Despite a slightly lower power rating than the S5 series models, the Plus coupled with the SEB-213 powerbrush work well on both the medium and low pile carpet. On hardwoods, the cleaning ability is on par with the best Miele has to offer. Overall, there is a distinct advantage with the Plus coming standard with both a powerbrush and smooth floor tool.
             The suction of this model is controlled by a variable dial. With no real preset points on the dial, the control offers a smooth, wide range of control.
          The handle of the Plus has controls for the powerbrush built in. The vacuum will still run, but the powerbrush can be powered on or off with the push of a button. This could possibly be useful if you hear something while vacuuming. Instead of having to bend over and turn the unit off, you turn the powerbrush off with the push of a button and could then hear if someone is knocking at the door, etc.
          The Plus comes in what you consider one of Miele’s more attractive colors. Granted, the color of your vacuum should not be a primary factor in purchasing, but it is very important to some. In Royal Blue the Plus is one of the more aesthetically pleasing vacuum cleaners.
          The Miele Plus also includes a Smooth Floor Brush, Upholstery tool, Crevice tool and a dusting brush.  The sealed system that helps improve filtration also helps improve suction. By having tight joints and rubber seals, Miele vacuum cleaners keep the dirt and dust where it should be- in the machine
       Mieles entry level power team vacuum cleaner out performs other manufacturers "top of the line" models!

Although the least expensive of all Miele vacuums, this model doesnt skimp on quality or performance. Miele vacuums are the logical choice for the informed consumer.
