We've had this vacuum about four months now and it gets the job done. It's easy to use despite its somewhat hefty weight and size. The "twist" handle system is a nice feature and works very well, making it easy to maneuver around furniture, etc. The headlight is another nice feature and the cord is plenty long. The negatives are the as follows: One of the LED lights in the band of lights that make up the headlight quit, it doesn't have as quite much suction as I think it should for a vacuum that costs this much, and the bags, while big, are VERY expensive. One design issue others have commented on is that the cord has to be completely unwound to use the wand. Overall it's a nice vacuum, and it seems well built and likely to last a good long time, but I think there are vacuums out there that offer better value.

I love my new Miele Jazz upright vacuum, as much as you can love a vacuum I suppose! I have owned mainstream brand vacuums in the past, all lasting only a couple years at most, and with problems on top of that. The one exception was my grandmother's older Hoover from the '80s, which is still working and is the vacuum we have donated and replaced with the excellent Miele. It was a little hard to spend so much money on a vacuum, but I am convinced that we bought a vacuum that will not need to be replaced for a long time. The vacuum is well built, a little on the heavy side, but still glides along with ease. My carpets, rugs and hard reach dusty areas have never looked better! The attachments and hose are very handy and something I missed on our last vacuum, but never worked well on other vacuums! The cord is super long and reaches my whole house with just one central outlet. The bags and filters might be a little more expensive than a cheaper vacuum's but, they are better quality and last longer, so I am not too bothered by it. I like having the dirt and dust I worked hard to vacuum up stay contained. The air coming out of the HEPA filter is fresh and clean, jut like my house now! My brother who works at a major electronics/appliance store and who uses a Dyson everyday, says that this is a much nicer vacuum. My husband even likes to use the vacuum now as well! We are very happy with the Miele Jazz!

I hesitate in only leaving 4 stars, rather than 5. I will start with the cons, then go to the many pro's. I had read in other reviews that the cord placement should be below the hose placement. I thought the reviewer was being "fussy". But after using the vacuum for several hours, I must agree. The cord gets in the way of easily removing the hose wand, and I remove mine for corners every few minutes of using the vacuum. I'm sure it had to be this way, as the machine is so well thought out, but placement could be better. Second con, my Dyson allows me to keep one attachment stuck on the hose when I put the hose back in place. My new Miele needs the attachment removed to go back to vacuum mode. I use an attachment very often, so kind of a pain to keep putting an attachment back on. NOW, for all the good. This vacuum is amazing. So quiet, and quality. When I start the vacuum it sounds like a muted quality hum of a fine car. The suction is unmatched, and I've had all the best vacuums in the past. I was concerned about going back to a vacuum that requires bags. With many animals, I thought the bag would fill very quickly. Not true, I'm just finishing the first bag after hours of use. I empty the Dyson cup every few minutes, so I thought the bag would only last a few days. It just all compacts into the bag and I'm actually glad not to be dumping the Dyson cup all the time. So now I'm not concerned about spending a fortune in bags, as I'd figured I would. A tad on the heavy side, but that's because of the quality construction. I love that it doesn't tip over when I remove the wand and clean the stairs and corners. The rubber wheels make me feel better about rolling it on my wood flooring upstairs. I have stone and wood flooring, and this is the safest cleaner I've ever had in preventing scratching them during cleaning. The attachments that came with the Miele are wonderful. I'll order more later, but for now I'm good with the included pieces. I wasn't really in the market for a new vacuum just yet, but I'm so glad my inner shopper took over and made me purchase the Miele. I justified it because of the hepa filter and reviewers going on about the healthier choice of a filtered bag system. I look forward to many happy years of use from "buttercup", that's what I've named her since she's a beautiful soft yellow color. Highly Recommended

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 starsI lurve this vacuum!, March 4, 2010 By Randy Morrison "RMinIL" (Metro St. Louis, IL) - See all my reviews(REAL NAME)  I have fallen head over heels in love with my Miele S7! I will keep this as short as I can but I could go on for days. I have owned Kirby and Oreck uprights and Electrolux canisters and while each had aspects I liked, nothing I have ever used compares to the Miele. I'll give just 2 great examples. 1)The vacuum works so well that my old carpet actually feels new again after vacuuming. You can tell the difference in the pile WITH your shoes on. 2)I have 3, yes THREE, pugs and they have ALWAYS gone berserk every time I vacuum. The barking was like being in kennel but with all the dogs loose so they could also attack you while walked. I used to have to put the dogs outside in order to vacuum which made for only vacuuming in short bursts during the winter. The Miele is like a miracle. They are actually bored and disinterested in the whole vacuuming thing now. I vacuumed all around one of them while he was eating the other day and he never even brought his head out of the bowl. This would have been a beater bar killing offense with my old vacuums. Forget the fact that this vacuum cleans so perfectly, has all the needed tools on board, has a huge dust bag, long supple cord, etc. and on and on, this gorgeous machine has brought peace and harmony to my home. (OK, we still have issues with any delivery person.)
