Do you have limited space in your closets and not like the idea of having your vacuum cleaner out in the open for everyone to see? If that’s the case, you are going to need a vacuum cleaner that is a bit different. The Dyson DC 11 Telescope Canister  just might be the answer to your storage woes.

Dyson DC11 Vacuum Specifications:

  • Type of Vacuum: Canister
  • Power: 220 Airwatts
  • Filter: Lifetime HEPA filtration
  • Dust Collection: .5 gallon dirt cup
  • Attachments: Hard floor tool
  • Warranty: One year warranty

How much room does your vacuum take up? If it the attachments aren’t on-board, chances are the vacuum and the caddy take up an entire closet floor. The Dyson DC11 Canister Vacuum changes that, taking back your closet space.

The Dyson DC 11 Telescope Canister folds up into an area of only 11 by 13 by 17 inches, including the wand, meaning that you will be able to put it in a kitchen cabinet if you want to.

The Dyson DC11 has 100,000 g of centrifugal force, getting dust and dirt out of the airflow and into the dust cup. This is going to give you steady suction power no matter how full the cup is.

The Dyson Telescope Canister Vacuum has two filters: a HEPA filter that you can wash clean and then a post-motor filter that is going to trap the carbon emissions from the motor. Both of these filters should last for the life of the vacuum cleaner so you won’t have anything else to buy in the future, making this vacuum’s price tag the price that you are going to pay for the life of the vacuum.

Here is what one reviewer said about his Dyson DC 11 Telescope Canister.

“Upon inspection of the unit after removing it from the box, I noticed that the HEPA filter was of great quality and the bactisafe screen just looked cool.”

There are only two things that people complain about this vacuum.  The first is that the power cord is really short. It is less than 22 feet, so if you have a really big home, you may need to plug and unplug it.

Another thing is that some people complain that it is difficult to move around because of the way that the wheels are put on the machine. Here’s what one reviewer said.

“The canister is difficult to maneuver- wheels do not rotate.”

Is The DC11 Worth The Money?

If you are short on cabinet space and want a Dyson, the Dyson DC 11 Telescope Canister is a good purchase. This canister vacuum is cute and is practical because you won’t have to buy bags or filters anymore.

Miele S5280 Callisto Galaxy Series Canister Vacuum Review

 How much should a vacuum cost? If you want it to last a long time, you are going to have to pay more money.Miele vacuums are high priced, but those who use them once usually agree that they are worth every penny.

The Miele S5280 Callisto Galaxy Series Canister Vacuum Cleaner isn’t the cheapest vacuum made by Miele, but it also is not the most expensive.

Miele S5280 Callisto Canister Vacuum Specifications:

  • Type of Cleaner: Canister
  • Dirt Collection: 3.7 quart bag
  • Motor: 1200 Watts
  • Filter: HEPA
  • Included Attachments: Dusting brush, upholstery nozzle, crevice tool, telescopic wand, parquet floor brush and power brush
  • Warranty: Motor – 7 years

There are a lot of great things to say about the Miele S5280. In fact, out of all of the reviews on Amazon.com, there are only reviews with 4 and 5 star ratings – you can buy this vacuum with confidence.

The only way you are going to use the vacuum regularly (and happily) is if it is easy to use. The Miele S5280 Callisto Galaxy Series Canister Vacuum Cleaner makes it easy to use with a lot of features.

One feature that makes vacuuming easier is the flap over the dust bag, making changing the bag easy to do without having a layer of dust and dirt get over you and your clothing. Plus, with a HEPA filter, you are probably going to find that the air is actually cleaner coming out of the vacuum than it is in the room.

If you are worried about a canister vacuum being difficult to maneuver, the Miele Callisto is going to be an easy machine to use.

It rolls easily around the house and with the long hose and cord it has an incredible reach.

A vacuum is supposed to not just be easy to use, but be really powerful as well. You get that with the Callisto.

I bought the Miele Callisto vacuum a few days ago and I’ve nearly filled the bag. The amount of suction is truly amazing.

One negative with the Miele S5280 Callisto Galaxy Series Canister Vacuum Cleaner comes if you have a really thick carpet in your home. If that’s the case, you might want to consider getting a different Miele or getting an upright vacuum.

That is my simple two cents – if you can afford it, go for a machine such as this with the electric brush if you must vacuum capeting at all.

The second negative is the weight of the machine. Most canister vacuums are lighter weight than an upright, but at close to 20 pounds, it isn’t going to be that easy to get it up and down stairs.

“Unlike many other canisters, the overall weight is high. Because the powered tube and brush heads are also on the heavy side, handling suffers.”

Will You Be Over The Moon With The Callisto?

Chances are, if you can afford over $800 for a vacuum, you are going to be able to choose the best. With a 4.5 star rating, the Miele S5280 Callisto Galaxy Series Canister Vacuum Cleaner is a great and durable vacuum.

If you do have a lot of thick carpet, you are going to want to check out the Kirby Sentria. This upright vacuum is going to clean carpeting and shampoo them with just one machine.
