Hi,
Following is a link to a Which? magazine announcement re the Miele S6 series Red Velvet canister. The title is redundant as U.S. Miele already did this years ago with one of its cansiters but I suppose the public is expected to be wowed by the "velvety" feel of the cleaner's finish. Wonder what they had in mind when they made my Capricorn. Despite calims of more "oomph," I find what I've seen of this machine as nothing new by way of what Miele is already offering.
If you are an insomniac, reading through the info will help you to get that much needed sleep you've missed. But do check out links to Which? magazine's brief assessment of Miele's cat-and-dog vac and an eco-lone machine.

A small point of interest is that Miele U.S. is putting out a top of the line PN quite similar to the last but with an LED light set-up. I have yet to learn if this will exceed the use and efficienvy of the flourescent tyype bulb that came with mine. Also, the American site has begun to show more attachment options again. Only one, a double-jointed utility tool for dusting, makes any sense. Howwever, the privilege of owning one ran at about 35 bucks last year.
