Well the story is different in Europe. Most buyers know what a sealed suction unit is and it isnt down to the HEPA or whatever filter is on board.


Folks - I misunderstood the salesperson's explanation of Delphi - I think he said it is sealed just as higher end units but w/o a HEPA that can be added as an option. So I mistakenly tied the two together. But your generalization across all US is stretching too far. I wouldn't consider myself being mislead by Miele in this regard. Good for you that you understand vacuums well. Keep sharing your knowledge!

I came back with a Delphi with Parkett floor brush and SEB236 power head, which is the same combo offered with Capricorn.

Lucky1, Miele's USA website claims that:

"...Miele vacuum cleaners offer a true Sealed SystemTM, each individual compartment and the system as a whole are sealed with one continuous, durable rubber gasket..."

This would induce that the whole line up is sealed. What makes the S2 different?


My understanding is that Delphi becomes a sealed system if you put a HEPA filter, which is optional on Delphi. Rest is same.

CarmineD, Venson, Vacmanuk, Lucky1 - Thank you all for your comments. This valuable information will help me tremendously in making the choice. I do not have any preset budget limit for this purchase but I do want to be sure that my money is spent well. I've already looked at several Miele canisters at a local store - Delphi, Titan, Callisto, Capricorn, etc,., the other day. The sales person was helpful. Perhaps it was just me who got confused/overwhelmed with numerous options available with a pretty substantial price range. That is why I came here for help. One feature I really liked is handle controls on Capricorn. But that one is priciest of all. With high end power brush SEB-236 it is $1199. This retailer has extended a decent offer - no tax, which is ~10% cost plus a some goodies like, a box of bags, etc. I also have an option to buy lower ends at retail price with high end attachments with hefty 50% off - same high end power brush SEB-236, and the new Parquet Twister SBB300-3. Now with all this information that you all have shared, I plan to go back this afternoon to purchase one of those puppies.
Miele S2 vs S5

I'm set on purchasing a Miele canister. Need some insight with real differences between the two lines - S2 and S5. Looking at straight comparison up on web I don't see significant differences in the unit itself. For e.g. http://www.allergybuyersclub.com/vacoverview.html For the most part it looks like main difference is in the bundled attachments, such as, power head, brush. Motor is the same, suction & air-flow supposedly is similar. Does it mean that if you throw higher end power head, floor brush that is bundled with Callisto over to a Delphi then Delphi becomes pretty much similar to Callisto ignoring cosmetics such as ergo handle etc.?
