Pets are difficult to clean up after, and the vacuums that you purchase for $100 are often ineffective at picking up any of the hair that they shed.
Although expensive, the Miele S516 Cat & Dog Canister Vacuum Cleaner w/ STB 101 Handheld Turbo Brush is going to clean up after all of your pets on hard flooring and carpet.

At just under $800, no one can claim that the Miele S516 is going to be a cheap vacuum. It is going to be a very big decision to make, but it should be an easy one, because of the engineering that you are getting in this machine.
There is no doubt that the Miele S516 Cat & Dog Canister Vacuum Cleaner w/ STB 101 Handheld Turbo Brush is going to perform well. It has the technology to do so. The Cat & Dog Canister Vac moves 141 cubic feet of air every minute, which means that you are going to be able to clean pet hair off of any surface that it sticks to.
I’ve had this vacuum for several months now in a high traffic kid and pet environment and it purrs along with suction as good as ever and never a clogged hose yet.
If you think that Mieles are too expensive, you are going to have to think about how long a cheaper machine is going to last. You can either get one Miele machine or replace your cheap vacuum every year and spend a whole lot more money.
Other things you will like about the Miele S516 Cat & Dog Canister Vacuum Cleaner w/ STB 101 Handheld Turbo Brush are its weight, the way it handles, and how easy it is to use. The S516 is all of that plus it is really, really quiet, allowing you to vacuum whenever you want to.
The vacuum itself is compact and light weight. It maneuvers throughout the house easily moving from tile, to laminate to plush carpet.
There is nothing bad to say about this machine, except that for the price you would expect a HEPA filter to be included in it. Instead, a charcoal filter is going to clean the air and prevent those pet smells from being kicked back out of your vacuum.
Will This Miele Be A Deal?
Unless you have a houseful of pets, you can probably get a better deal on a different vacuum. The Miele Callisto is a better option and has better attachments.
If you have a houseful of pets (and carpet in more than one room), a canister vacuum is not practical. Look at Dysons or the Kirby Sentria instead.
