Has anyone tried the new Miele S6290 Silence???

I don't really see the reason Miele, out of all, is seeking to make even quieter vacuums than it already does but the company has recently put out a low-noise canister, the S6290. It's a straight-suction machine that Miele says will rout pet hair well. I have been searching for reviews but as I'm not a Which? subscriber, who's just reviewed it, I'm finding it difficult to dig up either a user review or one from a consumer organization. Thanks, Venson

Hi again vacmanuk,

Thanks for including the very descriptive pictures. The SBD 550-3 nozzle you uploaded is indeed the one I purchased and though, yes, the mechanism for lifting and lowering the brushes is rather stiff, I find it pretty serviceable and better than the expensive SBB300 tool on bare floors. I also agree that the "new" nozzle that comes with the Jasper doesn't show much to recommed it.

Thanks,

Venson

Hi vacmanuk,

Wow! You did quite a bit of work on this. Thank you.

My only disappointment was that I was expecting to hear some sort of landmark level level of quiet when the machine was set to high. Think I'll keep the Miele I've got.

Best,

Venson
