 would buy againJul 27, 2008
bought this vacuum to replace my eureka mighty mite HEPA canister vacuum which finally died after 8 years of service.
the only drawback is the slightly shorter cord, which is still acceptable and has the big benefit of automatic rewind (something I really wanted in the new vac). it's also somewhat heavier than the mighty mite, but does a better job and looks to be built to last forever.
we are using it on wood floors and short pile carpet and it's more than accurate without the power head.
attachments are a little cheap, already broke the duster, but i would buy it again. we've had it about a year now so plenty of time to test it and find flaws.

 Very disappointedJul 15, 2008
I purchased the Miele Carina vacuum to replace a Kenmore canister vacuum that is falling apart.
The Kenmore, even in its dilapidated state is a better vacuum for the same price as the Miele. The controls for the Miele are on the canister itself which requires the user to bend down every time he or she wishes to change the setting. The floor/carpet switch on the head is hard to switch and again requires the user to bend down.
It is OK for use on a floor, we have saltillo tile and it works OK. But on low pile carpeting it was incredibly hard work pushing the vacuum around.
I'm sticking with my old Kenmore.

 Small, light, and it really sucksJun 01, 2008
First my requirements, I live in a 3 story house with a basement, have a cat, hardwood floors, stair runners, and oriental rugs. Oriental rugs should not be cleaned with a beater bar attachment. Wow, this vacuum is fantastic. Usually I only have enough ambition to clean one floor at a time. This weekend I did two floors and the basement. It was almost like a new toy. The vacuum is so light, 14 lbs, about half the weight of a quality vacuum. The suction power is remarkable, as strong as my husband's Fenn (German) shopvac. And it is very quiet. It is very good at picking up the cat hair from upholestry. Of course, a beater bar attachment would be better but it doesn't make sense for me with the oriental rugs. It cleans hardwood floors so well that I'm giving away my swifter duster. I will definitely make Miele my first choice for any new appliances.

Quiet and strongFeb 09, 2008
The Miele Carina vacuum is a great machine. It is light, yet has powerful suction. The machine is well thought out and easy to use. I highly recommend it.

Great vacuum cleaner, heavy wandsJan 25, 2008
This is the 4th (!) Miele I have bought in the past couple of years, 2 for myself and 2 as gifts. (The others were similar but with power brushes, and came in blue and in red). The Carina is yellow, not a great color, but it is above all quiet, and this is very important to me. I bought this as a replacement for an old Eureka Mighty Mite in our house in the country and it fits nicely in the small closet and does a great job on our new tile and hardwood floors and a good enough job on our carpets. If you have lots of deep carpeting you should get the turbo brush. The major pluses are: Small size, quiet operation, efficient cleaning, excellent maneuverability, well-designed bags, retracting power cord. The negatives for me are that it takes thumb pressure on a button to release the wand sections from one another and a little arthritis in the hand can make this uncomfortable; the steel wands are much heavier than the (cheaper) plastic ones that came with our old vacuum, and thus harder to hold up in the air to vacuum window frames, etc.; the on-off control is an odd panel on the body of the vacuum that you have to hit with one foot and I often need to try more than once to get it going; the cord reel failed on one of the gift vacuums I sent; you have to pull the cord all the way out when you use the machine to avoid overheating the motor, and it is about 15 feet long; bags are pricey and not available in ordinary stores (I haven't seen any generic ones). In all, however, the quiet, efficient operation and small size win out. I'd buy a 5th one.
