Cheap Miele : S163 Universal Mini Upright Vacuum - Black Discount Review Shop
*Note that the same model is available on Amazon for a different price, I'm not sure why.
*The only difference between the S163 and S168 is the HEPA filter on the S168...I found it was significantly cheaper to buy the S163 and add the HEPA filer purchased separately.
It is extremely difficult to find a bagged stick vac. For those of us with allergies (or just aversion to dust) "bagless" vacuums are not attractive. Dumping the dust bin re-releases lots of junk (especially the smallest, lightest particles) back into the air.
I bought the Miele S163 simply because it was the only bagged stick vac I could find several years ago. I am thrilled with it. It has very strong suction and rolls easily across our hardwood floors. It does not blow or push around crumbs like many other vacuums, it actually picks them up on the first pass. The chamber is sealed and after several years of use the inside of the vac is literally like new, every speck of dust has been trapped in the bag or filter.
Because I only use mine on hard floors, I find I don't have to change the bag more often than our large canister vac (which we use for carpets). Even very dirty hard floors don't generate nearly as much "waste" as carpets, and I generally change the S163 bag every month, even though it's usually not full. I have a cat and two Cheerio-eating children and use the vac at least once per day.
Bottom line: this vacuum has kept my kitchen floor crumb-free for several years and shows no sign of quitting anytime soon.

Customer Reviews
Powerful but doesn't pick up Cheerios - M. Kelty - Kansas
I bought this vacuum based on the good reviews I saw. I have 500 square feet of vinyl flooring that I wanted to use this vacuum on because I dislike sweeping.
Pros: I found that the vacuum is powerful and has great manueverability under chairs and around table legs. It also has excellent edge cleaning.
Cons: However, it won't pick up cheerios or anything close to the size of a cheerio. Crumbs get sucked to the vacuum and then bounced off so I have to chase them around to vacuum them up. Another thing that bothers me is that the handle won't angle up very high without lifting the head off the floor--so if you are trying to reach far underneath something or vacuum in close quarters such as a hallway, it doesn't work so well. It seems as if you have to be 6 feet away from what you are vacuuming to maintain the correct handle angle and keep the head on the floor. A minor annoyance is that, just as another reviewer said, the cord clip to snap the plug to the cord after winding it up is too small and will not clip onto the cord. I do not feel that this vacuum was worth the almost 0 I spent and will be returning it.
returned it promptly - bird lady - Texas
was hoping for a good hardwood floor vacuum. It didn't have pads that would prevent floor from being scratched. It was heavy!!! in the middle and fell to the floor as it could not stand up on its own. Expensive and definitely not worth considering. I love a good vac at any price, this was not it.
Miele should not sell this - Einstein - Honolulu, HI
I have never done a review, but after using this stick vacuum for 7 months, I felt compelled. My husband hates this vacuum. It's heavy, the wheels squeak, and although it has great suction, and is quiet (except for the squeaking wheels) its very unpleasant to use. Our last vacuum was an Oreck XL that lasted years. I won't be using this stick vacuum anymore -- afraid it'll scratch the floors.
Because of all the glowing reviews on other Miele vacuums, I took the plunge and purchased the Miele Pirouette upright. I almost didn't purchase another Miele because of my disappointment with the stick vacuum. When my husband saw I had purchased another Miele, he wanted me to return it. I'm glad I gave it a try. The Pirouette works like a dream. This is what I expected from Miele. The Pirouette glides across the floor, is heavier than I'd like, but is quiet and extremely easy to manuever, and its a pleasure to vacuum.
Miele should rethink about selling this stick vacuum. It really gives them a bad name, especially for a first-time user.
stick vac - Alice -
I checked out several stick vacs before purchasing the Miele S163 but didn't see any that seemed to compare in quality. Great for hardwood floors, fine for small pickups on carpet. Works really well on stairs and is very quiet. However, the loop designed to hold the plug to the cord when it is wound for storage has too small an opening to allow the cord to enter. I just simply wrap the plug end around the wound cord. Beyond that would just be the expense.

The s168 is well worth learning about this machine and detailed evaluation of people using this machine.
