update on S5 - watch out for bag leakage

by VacOMatic (theinvisibleboyy@aol.com) of la ca

The same as before, but with the provisio that two samples of the S5 (see forum S5 topic for full details) showed dust leakage through the G-series filtrette bags Miele uses. In one case this leakage prematurely clogged the HEPA filter.

Miele chose G series bags for the S5, but forced them into a smaller bag cavity so their capacity was reduced by about a quart.

Be sure to check out any sample of the S5 you try out to see if this problem is happening (in sample I saw, the bags leaked dust from the very bottom). This can cause premature HEPA filter clogging, and the HEPA filters are expensive.

You can probably avoid the problem with frequent bag changes, but this makes the S5 very expensive to own.

Pros	Cons
same as previous post.	same as previous post, except: Filtrette bags show leakage of dust, can clog HEPA filter! High operating cost due to frequent bag/filter replacement.
