Product Description
The Miele S2120 Olympus comes standard with a combination rug / bare surface combination floor tool. With a simple step of a switch a brush extends out of the floor tool for cleaning bare surfaces, and retracts back into the head for cleaning rugs and carpeting. The combination tool is most effective for cleaning very low pile carpeting such as indoor / outdoor, commercial grade carpeting. The S2120 can be upgraded to use the Miele STB205-3 Full Sized Turbo Brush fo… More >>
I was pleasantly surprised by my Miele vacuum. I thought it was made in France so I imagined it would have two reverse gears for retreating and a little white flag, but in fact it was manufactured in Germany. As a result I went through my living room faster than you can say “invade Poland”.
I’ve owned various Eurekas and Kenmores and in contrast this is a very light and quiet vacuum with great suction. It even looks sharp! Sure, it’s not perfect: the included floor attachment is not motorized so it’s “sticky” on carpet and the electric cord is a bit too short. And of course it’s pricey – the attachments can cost an arm & leg (for example the motorized carpet cleaner is $150).
Still, it’s an all around a great product and I highly recommend it.
The included carpet/floor head is relatively small so presumably it’s meant for mingy little European apartments, but it seems to be capable of doing larger houses. The small size is actually nice for getting into corners or under furniture. It might be an issue if you have a 7,000′ mcMansion – but then you’re probably not doing your own vacuuming anyway.
In summary, it’s amazing that German union workers can crank out something like this between their vacations and strikes, but I suppose most of the American brands are so bad that we’re not offering much competition. Those of you who view Europeans as the debauched dregs of once-great empires: you might be right – but they sure make a nice vacuum cleaner.

I’m loving this vacuum! It’s small, well-made, works amazingly well, is quiet, has great attachments. Honestly, I don’t have a single complaint. Worth the money, for sure, and a joy to use!

I feel in love with this Miele Olympus vacume cleaner! Much laughter among friends ensued! Thanks to the web, I read a LOT of reviews and did much research online. All reviews proved true! It’s surprisingly not loud (could vacume at night in apartment etc.) It has a powerful motor, is light in weight & easy to “pull” around and I love the simplicity of design. Great on carpet and my tile floors! Easy to use for car and GREAT for pet hair on sofa! Easy to transport from place to place IN car!EASY to assemble and put together within 20 minutes! I recommend highly and probably won’t ever consider another brand. (I loved my old Panasonic upright and Hoover thru the years. Miele cleaners may not be cheap BUT worth every penny.) Vendor/shipping was fast and fine. No probs.
