Vacuum cleaners: Compare features & prices Miele S6290 Silence review Back to Results

Miele claims the 'Airteq' floorhead that comes with this bagged cylinder vacuum cleaner means the S6290's performance matches that of the 2,000W S6 models, even though its 'Silence' motor is only 1,200W, and uses 40% less energy. These claims were scrutinised in the Which? Test Lab, to confirm whether the S6290's cleaning ability really can compete with more powerful models.
