Customers respond positively to the Miele S511 Cat and Dog Plus. Satisfied customers who had purchased the S511 Cat and Dog Plus noted that it comes equipped with a HEPA filter, without any need to upgrade from a conventional filter. Some note that they approached the Miele with some hesitation; one noted, "of course I didn't believe their claims, few vacuum cleaners have managed to pick up dog hairs in my experience. I thought it must be a gimmick." When they purchased the appliance, however, they were quite impressed. "We switched it on for the first time and our faces beamed.... It felt strong and powerful and made our other upright vacuum seem like a toy." Another noted simply, "it deals with all manner of fluff and dirt... I have never yet had to poke down the tube with a skewer to free some blockage-it just seems to deal with everything I throw at it.' They appreciate its design features; that the vacuum canister is low to the floor and moves easily; that the crevice nozzle, upholstery tool and dusting brush tow away neatly; and that the vacuum is space efficient. _As one customer noted, "the vacuum is very nicely ...
... designed, with features that just make sense as you use it. Customers' complaints are that the vacuum cleaner bags are expensive and cannot be reused. One owner wrote "the suction is so good (or my house is so dirty!) that I do have to replace the bags quite frequently." Another noted that this model "doesn't like being pulled along."
