Customer reviews more useful 48 of 48 people found the following review helpful. Worth every penny! By AL I was a little apprehensive about spending more than $ 200 on a stick vacuum, but the Miele S163 is definitely worth it. First of all, it's calm, then you definitely do not need to turn it off to hear the phone ring / bell. The best thing about it is incredible suction ... my carpet looked brand new and my couch has not been as lint-free since I bought it. The S163 does not come with the HEPA filter, like the S168 does (but you can get one for less than $ 110, which is what is the price difference). The S163 comes with two attachments: a crevice nozzle and upholstery brush. It has a switch mat / floor, too, and works wonders on my hardwood floors. The cord is nice and long (some rooms I can vacuum my small apartment at a time without having to disconnect). After all, a great buy! 45 of 45 people found the following review helpful. great for hardwood floors by Shannon M. Kozubik We live in a large condominium with all hardwood floors The Miele S163 works great for a place like ours...it sucks up all the junk messing up our floors... crumbs and dust are completely gone with a quick swipe--it's really light and has a long cord --and has a lot of power. We have a few area rugs and it cleans them really well. We recommend this vacuum - 27 of 27 people found the following review helpful. 9 years and counting By Mara We have owned this Miele vacuum cleaner for 9 years. It is still wonderful. It is by far the best vacuum cleaner I have ever owned. The only things we have had to replace on it, is it's bag and HEPA filters. The vacuum has needed no repairs. I have used it to clean not only the floor, but also the furniture and drapes. My husband has allergies, and this was a large part of the reason we bought it. Other vacuums stirred up too much dust and caused his allergies to act up. Not with the Miele. It is quieter than any vacuum I have ever used. I don't think it is superior because of the extra money we paid for, I think it is superior because of it's lasting power, excellent cleaning capabilities, and low maintenance See all 23 customer reviews....
