The Miele Galaxy Libra S5281 is a Miele canister named for a southern constellation represented by a pair of scales. Interesting enough, the word “libra” in Spanish is the word for pound so we get the idea it’s about measurement and this machine certainly is worth it’s “weight” and “measures up” to the famous German-engineered line of Miele vacuums. A new ergonomic deluxe handle keeps the strain off your wrist. The Miele SEB217-3 powerhead included will remove the dust and dirt from your carpets to keep them looking their best. On board tools and a rotary dial to control suction are great features for those cleaning jobs where you want to quickly disconnect the powerhead, reduce suction, and grab the tools you need to clean blinds, drapes or upholstery. Since the tools are on-board, everything is right there at your fingertips to do the job quickly and efficiently. Choose to upgrade to SEB236 powerhead and you will have an even better canister to meet your cleaning needs. The Miele Lib

So this is how the other half lives!!,
Having struggled with vile super-heavy, badly-designed, dust-regurgitating Kenmore vacuum cleaners, esp. their upright model, I finally decided to spend money I haven’t got and get a really good vacuum cleaner that will attack the dust problem in my old house and protect my baby’s breathing.
So the Miele libra has entered my life as of today and it’s …well a revelation. I no longer have to get my husband to help me get the machine out of the closet, and cleaning the hallway carpet with it was like gliding on air…so easy and effortless. It fits nimbly under furniture, including old dressers and sideboards (that’s a big reason why I wanted this power brush, not just that it’s cheaper than the other two) which is so important for me; and is both light and powerful. And quiet. About choosing a power brush: I have just one thickish (old, and i’d like to get rid of it) carpet, and I find that this power brush does require some muscle work to move over it, but it is OK and sure picks up the stuff. It just doesn’t glide as effortlessly as over the other carpets. But I am glad I didn’t spend another 50 bucks getting a model with a power brush that might have handled just that one carpet easier because it just wdn’t have made sense. I also have some wood flooring, for which the nimble parquet swivel brush works very well.
Now I don’t have to go through the immense hassle of moving baby’s crib every time I want to vacuum under it! I don’t have to mess around with crappy little attachment brushes with no power just to tackle spaces narrower than a freeway. May Kenmore rot in a ditch!! Finally I will be able to clean my large, dust-prone home without misery and exhaustion! (Maybe i’ll be able to breathe again too….)
oh, and if you are totally bewildered by the big range of Miele v. cleaners, there is a website […] which has a great buying guide. But before buying via that website, do compare their prices with amazon, I saw that for some model they’re more expensive…and as for the ‘no tax’ thing, amazon.com didn’t charge me tax either (and I have ‘prime’ so I got 2-day shipping free).
I intend to update this review when I’ve had it longer…
